Why this must be read:

They say the first step in overcoming an addiction is admitting you have one. Okay, I admit it: I'm addicted to post-"Sweet Revenge" fic. Only, I'm not really interested in breaking the habit ;) If you read The Choice you'll see why, even though in some ways, this is not your usual post-SR fare.

All choices have consequences. Once upon a time, Zandra tells us, Hutch makes a choice with regards to his partner that he later comes to regret. Through the use of flashback, Zandra explores the why of Hutch's decision, creating an interesting setting and scenario that I felt was well thought out and executed. I'm choosing not to quote excerpts here, as I think the story is best experienced as it unfolds. I will say, however, that I loved the last scene—not only was the dialogue perfect, but Starsky reveals a choice of his own. Very nicely done.

If you're jonesing for some of the good stuff yourself, just clicky below and get your fix :)
