Delivered to Thee is a slash Starsky and Hutch story by Leah S.. The art is by Maureen B..
It was originally in Code 7 #4.
This story was discussed in a 1988 essay printed in Tell Me Something I Don't Know! #11. The topic was how death stories could be used to explore different emotions in fanfiction. Some examples were Whom Death Could Not Part, Nighthorse, Delivered to Thee, It's Always Toughest, Invictus, Mojave Crossing, and Goliath.
These are some comments by the fan (who created the illos for this story) regarding her recent access to a VCR, a larger television screen, and fresher copies of episodes), shortly before "Code 7" was released:
We did it again... A midnight to 3 am "Puttin' it on Pause". I tell you-- with that 25 incher you can see the tear filled eyes I never knew were there on Hutch in the "pushing the odds" scene from Sweet Revenge. Shall we try for 70mm next? .... Evie is responsible for much of the inspiration for the illoes I've just finished for Karen's CODE 7 #4. Especially the Sweet Revenge piece. Those four little drops of blood are dedicated too, Evie, without whom I wouldn't have seen such a minute detail. Her 24 incher provides just a bit more peripheral vision. It helped with the buns too. I don't get as much bun as you do on my 18 incher. Thanks, Evie. She pointed out the blood running from Starsky's nose when Hutch lifts his head in Shootout, I have just acquired new copies of the episodes thanks to our Channel 20's recent airings and was surprised to see the blood on Hutch's hand after he's attacked in the hospital garage in Sweet Revenge. My old copy just showed a lot of red and I thought that was the red hanky he had wrapped around his hand, but you see different on the clean copy. [1]
Reactions and Reviews
1987
An unusual story with lots of magic and love and all the intriguing things we like to read about. And Suzan's artwork... In each one they are touching. The moment with the flowers between them is my favorite -- the expressions, the tenderness not only of the hand on Hutch's face, but the one brushing the back of his hand. The drama in the two magical ones is enhanced by Hutch's single finger touch in one, his total support in the other amidst the unleashed power of his "antlered" partner. [2]
1988
...the [death stories] that I find the hardest of all to deal with — namely, the 'one-left-behind'. A clear example of this would be [Leah S's] 'Delivered to Thee.' Of all the "death-stories" that I have come across, this one was the hardest on my heart. There is something extremely poignant and bittersweet about the idea of Starsky being in a state of "non-death" and seeing Hutch in visions, that is too painful for words! [3]
