If Love Is Real Series by Flamingo (NC-17 in parts)
Fandom: STARSKY & HUTCH
Pairing: Starsky/Hutch, Hutch/female, Starsky/female
Author on LJ: not that I know of
Author Website: S&H Slash Archive
Why this must be read: Flamingo is a fantastic writer, but what really intrigued me about this was the way she spans Starsky and Hutch's history from the Academy to the series by bringing in other characters from show canon. It's a five part series (and many of the parts have multiple chapters) that shows how timing is everything - wanting someone in a particular way at a particular time doesn't add up to a relationship. Nor do one or two sexual encounters based in grief or friendship. And that ever-popular distinction between loving someone and being in love with them just serves to complicate things further.
The weakest part of the series is "Helen" as it tends to revisit what's happpened in the earlier sections, but "Addiction" stands on its own as a phenomenal piece dealing with the fall-out from Hutch's brush with heroin in the episode "The Fix". There's a scene where they re-enact what happened to Hutch, but with Starsky playing the role of victim. Hutch tries to show his partner what addiction feels like and Starsky wants to understand, but they get more than they bargained for. It's sexually-charged and utterly compelling.
"What was the first thing you remember upon waking?" Starsky asked quietly.
Hutch felt a sudden overwhelming sense of rage. You're tied and you're blindfolded, held prisoner in the dark, and you're still asking the questions? That's not how it works, buddy.
In answer, Hutch silently took his half-full glass of water and without warning, flung the cold contents in Starsky's face.
Starsky lurched backward in shock, gasping, and the jarring movement caught him off-guard, making him nearly upend the chair. He struggled for his balance and Hutch let him, not helping, not speaking, just letting him flounder with the shock of sudden sensation, the helplessness of being alone, tied in the chair.
You wanted to be where I was at. So, be there.
The Series is:
Colby
Vanessa
Helen
Starsky
Addiction
