The Week by Kaye Austen Michaels
It's gonna take some time to heal the wounds of Starsky versus Hutch.
Fandom: Starsky/Hutch
Pairing: Starsky/Hutch
Fiction Website: http://meandthee.shahrazad.net/display.php?storyid=603
Why this must be read: This was published in one of the VP Chronicles and shows how much healing and change can take place within a week's time. Hutch's grandmother kept a journal of one week of her life, chronicling what happened in 7 days. Hutch decides to do the same thing with a week of his life, May 7-13, 1979. He and Starsky needed to get away and get over the rift that came between them, so Hutch's parents arranged for them to stay at a friend's mansion in San Diego county.
He came without questioning and sat down next to me. The hesitancy as he tried to decide how close to sit rattled me. I put my arm around his shoulders and squeezed. "We'll get through this, Starsk."
He made a small noise that sounded like a sigh of relief. "Jeez, I didn't know how important one letter could be."
"What?"
"You haven't shortened my name since..." He looked away and I saw him bite down hard.
"God, I've been rough on you, haven't I?"
"Not as rough as you've been on yourself."
There will be changes, revelations, and a few precursors to what's to come. Sometimes, your heart knows things before your head does. And sometimes, your head knows them long before they happen. Starsky's afraid, but not of what Hutch thinks. Hutch's parents are accepting, but in a completely different way than you would first believe. They hurt each other and they break down the walls between each other over the course of this week. Starsky and Hutch get down to what's really the matter, not the symptoms, but the bottom line disease. Once they get through that, the rest of it is easy to build back up.
The sequel, entititled The Week, 1980, was published in VP Chronicles 4.
