An Aside

This story is an example of the tenuousness of online archiving.

It was published on the author's Geocities site, then was archived at Me and Thee Archive until that site went down, and is now at AO3.

Reactions and Reviews

A twist on the old fanon standby of Starsky fighting his way back to health to regain his partnership with Hutch after Gunther's hit, this fic treats us to a world in which Starsky resigned. Having dissolved the partnership because he realized he couldn't get back to the level he needed to be in order to really protect Hutch on the streets, Starsky finds himself suffering through a brutal heat wave 10 years later, contemplating the way things were and the way things are, and falling into a heatwave of his own -- that just happens to involve one Kenneth Hutchinson. This is prose at its finest, and an intriguing look at a David Starsky who was able to let go of his career and redefine himself, and a Hutch who had trouble making the same journey. Oh, and did I mention this story features one of the HOTtest scenes you'll even read? Go. Read. Melt. [1]

It hurts a little, I can't help feeling pain for them both, but there is healing, too. [2]

Your imagery is really stunning -- especially in the stream-of-consciousness sex scene, where it's both hot and completely mesmerizing. Beautiful! [3]

This is totally hot! (no pun intended). And I love this description of Hutch: “That fair skin showed everything. Starsky thought if he looked closely enough, he'd be able to see every disappointment, every bad case, every lonely night.” It’s exactly right. [4]

...wonderful story. The only thing I hated about it was that they had to wait ten years to discover this deep, lasting portion of their LOVE. Thanks so much for thinking of it and then for writing it so very well! [5]

This is one of my favorites; I never tire of reading it. I hate that they’ve essentially been apart for ten years, though the separation makes the joining all the sweeter. Your descriptions are so clear - it’s like watching a video. [6]
