#028 Fugacious - Starsky & Hutch - Whim of Fate

Title: Whim of Fate
Fandom: Starsky & Hutch
Author: Cat Moon
Rating: PG (adult concepts)
Words: 100
Characters/Pairing: Hutch
Summary: Waiting to find out. Takes place during the episode, “Sweet Revenge,” but not necessary to have seen it to understand the drabble.


Life is a fugacious whim of fate. Heads you win, tails you lose. It doesn’t matter whether you deserved it, if you did everything right, or had a lot of living yet to do. It doesn’t care about grieving loved ones left behind or chances missed.

The unfairness could take your breath away, fill you with a white-hot desire to scream at the universe: take it back…

Give him back.

The bitter truth is that all you can do is wait. And hope. And pray.

Hutch burst through the hospital doors to find out if his partner was still alive.
