Another Day, Another Miracle by Jat Sapphire (NC-17)
Fandom: STARSKY AND HUTCH
Pairing: Starsky/Hutch
Author on LJ:
Author Website: http://www.geocities.com/jat_sapphire/
Why this must be read:
A twist on the old fanon standby of Starsky fighting his way back to health to regain his partnership with Hutch after Gunther's hit, this fic treats us to a world in which Starsky resigned. Having dissolved the partnership because he realized he couldn't get back to the level he needed to be in order to really protect Hutch on the streets, Starsky finds himself suffering through a brutal heat wave 10 years later, contemplating the way things were and the way things are, and falling into a heatwave of his own -- that just happens to involve one Kenneth Hutchinson. This is prose at its finest, and an intriguing look at a David Starsky who was able to let go of his career and redefine himself, and a Hutch who had trouble making the same journey. Oh, and did I mention this story features one of the HOTtest scenes you'll even read? Go. Read. Melt.
But Hutch had been ... crazy ... when Starsky had told him. His face had gone an awful pale-gray color, his eyes like pebbles, his voice all hoarse and hollow sounding. As if Starsky'd died instead of deciding to resign.
Even after all this time, Hutch didn't seem to get it. He obviously remembered too well that he'd come back fast himself from the bullet he'd taken, bare inches from his heart--hell, he'd climbed out of bed and gotten out of the hospital and backed Starsky up. Forget physical therapy. Forget healing. All you needed, in Hutch's mind, was to really want to be back up to speed.
