Thirty Minutes by K Hanna Korossy (PG)

Fandom: STARSKY & HUTCH
Pairing: none
Length: approx. 4000 words
Author on LJ: unknown
Author’s website: Is here. Many of her works are also at starskyhutcharchive.com (and the formatting may be a bit better).

K Hanna Korossy is a wonderful and prolific writer, and she excels at hurt/comfort. Thirty Minutes is a great example of her work. It’s a tightly written account of the first half hour after Starsky's been shot in a bank robbery -- told from Starsky's point of view as he fades between the grave reality of his rescue and dreamlike recollections of a falling-out with Hutch, all with the thirty-minute clock running.

From Thirty Minutes:

0:00
        He didn't realize at first he'd been shot.

        The blow hit him hard in the chest, unbalancing him, but Starsky had staggered on a few steps more before his mind caught up with his body.  That had been a bullet, not a random bump from the chaos of bodies around him.  He stared down in disbelief at the growing stain of red on his chest. I love this shirt.

        And then his knees unlocked and he toppled gracelessly onto the road.

Oh, this was very good, very taut, suspenceful. Nice angst, not overdone. The confusion, the blurring of thoughts, memories and reality felt very authentic. She's such a great writer.

Thanks so much for recc'ing this!

Terrific rec! I'd never have come across it if you hadn't pointed me in the right direction.

I love this author's stories :)

She's wonderful, isn't she? I could fill a whole month of recs with just her stories.

[personal profile] nickygabriel 2013-05-12 09:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Every time I rec here, I include at least one of her stories :)
And she writes in so many fandoms!

Does she? I didn't know that! Hmm, I may have to branch out from S&H. Do you have any suggestions?
