"Starsky and Hutch" Recs
Izzie's Recs
S&H was my first introduction to fanfiction - until I discovered it a few years ago, I had no idea such a thing existed outside my head.
So, I went into total immersion, & was less than selective about what I read. Now, it's good to extract the gems and list them here. The list will grow as I have more time.
Beware of spoilers ahead.
| Equilibrium | molo | slash | It was almost impossible to choose just one of molo's stories - there are so many, and they are unfailingly good. Terrific writing, strong characterisations and hot, hot sex. This is post-SR, and has all the above! |
| Drought | PFL | slash | Very short, but incredibly effective tale of Hutch's reaction to Starsky's first day back at work after Gunther's hit. |
| Unforgiveable | K Hanna Korossy | gen | K Hanna Korossy's many S&H stories tend to leave you with a warm feeling and a h/c itch nicely scratched, so this one jolted me a lot when I read it first, and I still think it's one of her best. |
| Tandem | Paula Wilshe & Hutchrules3 | slash | A long, gentle story, set after The Plague, with Starsky and Hutch holidaying in a snowy Minnesota. |
| Learning to Breathe | Veronica | slash | A beautifully written, well-paced story which starts with Starsky returning to find the man he thought he knew walking away from the city he protected, the job he loved—and their partnership. |
| Remnants
|
Rosemary | slash | This one had me on the edge of my seat when I first read it. Although it deals with a difficult subject, Rosemary writes so well that you are drawn into the reality. I also really like the way she handles the aftermath of the traumatic event at the heart of the story. |
| Decision
|
Kaye Austen Michaels | slash | Another post-SR, dealing with Hutch's struggle to come to terms with his partner's probable return to the streets. This is powerful writing, with Hutch's inner turmoil brought to life very clearly, without in any way diminishing him. Kaye has a light touch, balancing angst with some light moments and vivid images. I really hope she will write the sequel promised at the end. |
| A
Fine Storm |
Suzan Lovett | slash | I love stories based on misunderstanding and the tensions that can arise, and this is a classic, with a particularly moving final scene. |
| Compassion's
Heart (takes you to the prologue, then follow the links) |
Charlotte Frost | slash | It was hard do choose a single Charlotte Frost story too, but this one presses all my buttons - believable characters, lots of h/c, confused feelings, and a strong plot too. |
| Promises,
Promises |
Lucy | slash | Short, but so good. What more can I say? |
| Rebuilding
the Future From the Past |
MaquisLeader | gen | This is such a positive view of their life together many years after "Sweet Revenge". It's beautifully understated, and for me rings very true. |
| Restoration
|
K Hanna Korossy | gen | Again, I could pick almost any story by this writer. Her style is distinctive, and her depictions of the characters very convincing. I especially enjoy this one for the one it picks up from the end of an episode ("Snowstorm") and runs with it. |
| 1976:
Shadows and Ghosts |
Jetwriter | gen | Long, tightly plotted story, which I find very impressive in the way it weaves in events in the series from earlier as well as foreshadowing what we know is to come (not Gunther). The characters are well-drawn, with convincing new ones as well as the familiar ones. The writing is very atmospheric. It has haunted me since I first read it. |
| Conflicting
Loyalties |
Marlene S | gen | This is a tantalising look at how Starsky is still affected by his father's death, and what he may be persuaded to do as a result. This was originally designed to be the first in a series, and I am really hoping that Marlene will have time and inclination to take this further, because I want to know what happens! |
