Survival by youtooblondie (NC-17)

My June of touring you good folks & fans through the adventures of Starsky & Hutch is coming to an end. Only two more stops to go before we fill up the tank and hand the Squash keys back over to Hutch. I can only say again, as I've said each time - it's wonderful having everyone on board.

Fandom: STARSKY & HUTCH
Pairing: Starsky/Hutch
Length: 1,350
Author on LJ: youtooblondie
Author's Website: http://youtooblondie.livejournal.com
Why this must be read: For many fans, "Survival" is a beloved hurt-comfort episode. It has all the trappings we love - Hutch is missing, leaving Starsky fiercely determined to find him...save him. Impossible odds or going to the ends of the earth are nothing to these guys when the other is in danger. In her six part work of prose and poetry, youtooblondie takes us directly into the frantic race, the danger, and the pain.  Using beautifully constructed language, she alternates points of view, placing us as witnesses with the guys and their entire spectrum of emotions. This story is filled with fear and desperation, hope and determination, devotion and sacrifice...and in the final part, a delicious little pay off. "Survival" - both the episode and youtooblondie's narration of emotions and events - captures the loyalty and love that is woven through "Starsky & Hutch." 

Please - take the time to  stop over and settle down with this powerful piece. I guarantee you, it is enriching and exquisite.

thank you so much, angel, for including me in on your adventures! i loved writing this series and it is a favorite epi of mine. and thanks to the boys for always providing me with inspiration and, when it comes to each other, their hearts on their sleeves.
