Eternity: A Promise of Forever by Kaye Austen Michaels (NC17)
Fandom: STARSKY AND HUTCH
Pairing: Starsky/Hutch
Author on LJ: Not that I can find
Author Website: Twin Dolphin Productions
Why this must be read: I don’t usually have favourites, but I have to admit this has to be my favourite novel-length fic. It’s also the longest I’ve read, I think. “Eternity: A Promise of Forever” is the first part of a two part story, and they are both extremely well-written.
I was gutted and hollowed out during the prologue and first chapter, and I think I even cried the first time I read it. I hate death stories, but the way Kaye goes beyond the grave and brings Starsky back is fantastic. We’re never really told how it all works, but real life’s never that neat anyway, right? And, as other-worldly as this is, it feels so real it’s unbelievable. I was dragged in from the start, and left kicking and screaming when the real world demanded my attention again. The characters are so well put together that I swear I could see them right in front of me, and the way it (and the case) all unfolds is careful yet seamless, and particularly clever with a few twists and turns to keep you guessing.
“Eternity: A Promise of Forever” has angst, humour and, most importantly, love. I highly recommend this. If I had the time, I’d read it again. ;)
Excerpt:
His partner reached out and slid reverent fingertips up one leather sleeve. "How is this possible?"
"Because our love doesn't know any boundaries, Hutch. Never did. Even before we...um...bottled up our own brand of sexual lightning. Promises between us are more'n that. They're...I dunno...some kinda natural law or something."
"What's the catch?"
Starsky groaned. "Gotta latch onto the negative, don't you, Hutch? What happened to that positive attitude you lectured me about?"
"I'm a realist, Starsk. You know that. Nothing's perfect."
"Okay. You're the only one who can see me."
