Sharp edges...

hmmmmmmm. delicious.

This was intense... and I can certainly see Season 4 Hutch going this route. Hungry. Desperate. Feeling too much "me" without enough of the "thee".

I really like how you managed to have Starsky always THERE even though he is never physically present.... he just *is*... so much a part of Hutch that he's always close at hand - though not close enough.

Your writing style is very spare here, but it works well for this piece, because the piece itself is such a stark look at the shadows of a man's soul.

Very nice.

Thank you!

Thanks for this particularly; I wanted him to be present emotionally for Hutch, all the more in that what he's doing with Marty, he's doing because he can't do it with Starsky. I'm glad that came through. Thanks again for your kind words. :)

Wow. The pain from all sides was just fantastic. Especially with Starsky's quiet concern forever in the background, and Hutch's guilt almost tangible it was so much at times. I liked Marty in particular. You made him come to life, and I really felt for him, he wasn't just some extra used to move the plot along.

Simply brilliant. :)

Thanks so much! I'm always so glad to see a reader "get it," you know? You saw what I was trying to put across, Hutch's need, Marty's humanness, and Starsky always always there, but not, for Hutch, quite there enough. :)

Holy God, where'd you come from? This is fantastic. The whole thing is poetry and the end - Hutch frantic, he can't hide it, tell him no, and then: "Yeah." He felt so weary and at the end of his rope. I hope we see much more from you. I have an S&H website and I'd love to put your S&H work on my site if you're interested.

Thanks again.

Hi Libra Three!

I've just read your story. Wow, that was intense. It left me breathless. How you captured Hutch's reactions, his feelings for Marty; it was painful. I would long for a sequel, including Starsky...

Thanks fo a great read!

Thanks! I'm so glad to hear you enjoyed it. I probably won't do a sequel, but you can bet I'm imagining him and Starsky coming to an understanding. :)
Thanks again.

ooh, this was reccd on Me & Thee - and I'm very glad it was.
Dark but not bleak.

I loved :
"He hated those minutes, those hard, slick, exquisite minutes, most of all."
most of all.

But then this bit came and nabbed me..

"What the fuck was he going to do, get drunk? Drown his grief? He wasn’t grieving. This wasn’t a disaster, it wasn’t a broken heart. It wasn’t any fucking thing.

So why do you feel like shit?"

This was just so... my words are failing me,I wanna say depressing, but I don't mean it! You brought me down with this, put me in Hutch's space, and then lifted me right at the end with the flash of optimism. Not a great big happy ending, but hope of the same.

[librathree]

Thanks so much. This is very much NOT the way I like to do things - I'm a total happy ending fiend, usually. But somehow watching that ep made this story just insist on being written.

I'm glad it worked for you! You can bet that I picture Starsk coming over and them eventually getting together. :) They belong together.

Thanks again for reading and commenting.
