The Best Thing (R) by Candy Apple
My apologies to S&H fans this month - I was kidnapped by Real Life and it took our two favourite police officers a little while to find me. I'm going to try to go out with a bang, though, so here's a rec that might open up a whole new world of reading for you! It did for me.
Fandom: STARSKY & HUTCH
Pairing: Starsky/Hutch
Author on LJ: not that I'm aware of
Author Website: The S&H Slash Virtual Seasons 5-8
Why this must be read: Virtual slash seasons can be tricky because they take a concentrated effort from a lot of people. This is the first story in Season 5 and is a Post-Sweet Revenge story about recovery and partnership. It deals with some of the harder realities of what the boys are facing - Starsky's inability to be the man he was before, Hutch putting his life on hold. And it shows the beginnings of a relationship with sparks of anger and jealousy when Hutch gets a new partner that he actually seems to like and trust. It's a solid start to the Virtual Seasons and definitely stands alone as a Post-Sweet Revenge fic.
"C'mon, old man, that your best shot?" the dark-haired man needled. He was a nice-looking Hispanic in his early thirties... Flores. He was obviously teasing and goading his slightly taller blond partner, who was only five years older than he was.
"I'll show you 'old man'," Hutch shot back, laughing as he got up from where Flores had just somewhat unceremoniously dumped him. Then they were wrestling again, their strength and wrestling skill obviously well-matched, as neither man had an easy time getting the upper hand.
Hutch was laughing and moving about enthusiastically, looking more alive than Starsky had seen him look in ages... Hutch was having fun, roughhousing around with another obviously-trained wrestler; a healthy, whole man who could challenge him both physically and intellectually.
Hutch was working out with his partner.
