Why this must be read: This is another short and sweet fic, since I found both of today’s recs together, and couldn’t not recommend them. This deals with the aftermath of The Plague (which I still, unfortunately, haven’t seen yet) and how a loving Starsky and Hutch would come together afterwards. And you’ve gotta love Dr Kaufman’s prescription. :)

I have to admit, though, that I’m still confused about the choice of title. If someone knows why it’s called Rx and could explain it to me, without pointing out that I’m blind to the obvious, I’d really appreciate it. ;)


Excerpt:

Well, the glass was gone now; Hutch wasn't going to die, nor would there be any permanent damage to his body. The doctors assured Starsky of that, and he believed them, but no one even mentioned what might have happened to his mind, his spirit. Of course, the doctors didn't know anything about the inside of Hutch's head, but Starsky did. And Starsky knew what he needed was Hutch and what Hutch needed was him. And now it was possible, if a little tricky.

Uh. I could be wrong, but as best I can remember, Rx is what is printed on top of a prescription sheet.

Aah, so I wasn't being as unobservant as I thought. :) Thanks.

Supposedly comes from the Egyptian Eye of Horus (a symbol of health), how the lower lines look sort of like the arabic letters R and x. Which I was told by my tattoer as he put it on my back :)

Hey, thanks, I love learning that sort of thing. :) I mean, I usually forget a few days later because I have a sieve for a brain *blush*, but I still find it interesting. And it's great where you can pick these bits of general knowledge from! :) Shall have to look it up on Google, see if there are any pictures.

Rx *is* what's on top of medical prescriptions -- it's actually one of the many latin abbreviations that medicine is riddled with, and it literally means "recipe".

Lol, that makes sense in an odd sort of way. :) But it's interesting to know, especially since I dropped Latin a while ago. All I can remember is "ego" and "portum". *rolls eyes*
