Reactions and Reviews

There's a lot on the slash archive that appeals to me, but one of my very favorites is "My True Love Gave To Me" which is without a doubt the best SH Christmas story ever written. (I like Christmas stories *less* than h/c believe it or not. But this one is great.) [1]

This first-time story is just one of those little gems you come across that hits you as simply wonderful and might otherwise get lost in a fandom that has so many talented writers.

It is a holiday story centered around Christmas and we find out how Hutch hates that day because he's grumpy as a bear throughout most of the story. *g* But, Starsky is able to turn it around by buying his "big, blond beauty" a house as a present.

The boys are both in character and the dialogue flows effortlessly. Hutch is his usual grumpy self and Starsky nudges him out of his holiday funk. (It feels like this story could have easily been an episode of the show). The house to Starsky is a symbol of his love for Hutch, his wanting to make a commitment to the other man. For Hutch, he later realizes that everything he's ever been looking for in wrapped up in his dark-haired partner. The house is what brings them together. [2]
