I don't know about y'all, but I have a hankering to write a "Bullitt" meets "Starsky & Hutch" fic.

This may be because I watched "Bullitt" for the first time about two weeks before seeing my first episode of S&H. Or it may be because Bullitt takes place in San Francisco, and it wouldn't be too crazy to assume that at some point, the boys may have been loaned out to help with a case there. And it may also be because I see Hutch as sort of a loose amalgamation of Frank Bullitt (a friendlier, happier Frank Bullitt, that is). It can't be a coinky-dink that Steve McQueen and David Soul have a somewhat similar look about them, albeit different physicalities. Bullitt came out in 1968 and S&H in 1975, so I don't think it's too much of a leap to assume there was influence, there.

(Oh, and let's not forget that Lalo Schifrin did the stunning soundtrack for "Bullitt" and did the season one S&H theme that never ever got used again that I'm still just a little bitter about.)

I'm just picturing the boys, maybe circa 1971ish, as new detectives, being sent down to San Francisco to help out tough Lieutenant Detective Bullitt with somekind of crazy sting or something. And Hutch like, admires this guy, knows all about his cases. And Starsky's all "yeah, uh huh, alright buddy". And then they meet him, and Bullitt is his usual reserved, mildly abrasive self. And Hutch is fanboying, but Starsky is alllllll aboooout that MUSTAAAANG. A 1968 Ford Mustang GT 390 in dark green and Starsky is like, "yup, sign me up for a one way ticket to fuck-yeah town!"

And so Bullitt sort of suffers through this, but actually winds up thinking they're okay guys, even if they're still finding their feet as partners. AND THEN CAR CHASES HAPPEN.

PICTURE IT. THE TORINO, AND THE MUSTANG. CHASING DOWN PERPS ON THOSE INCREDIBLY STEEP SAN FRAN HILLS.

I mean, c'mon:

Yup. It's awesome. I'm gonna write it, if only to satisfy my weird fascination.

Before I run out the door for work tonight, I'd just like us all to take a moment to reflect on this mustas- sorry, this photo.

I'd just like to take a moment to appreciate how adorable Starsky is in "Murder Ward" as I make my way through season 3.

*chin hands* :3

I just paid off my first student loan! YES! YEEESSS!

One down, three to go. Progress, progress, progress!

Spent my work night three stories up in a high-reach, wearing a very heavy safety harness, while painting a sign in the fog.

My job is never dull, for which I am eternally grateful.

This is a post for the benefit of my new friends.

Hi! I'm Autumn! I've been off livejournal for about three years since I've been posting strictly on tumblr and A03. I am hopping into Starsky & Hutch fandom which prompted this nice little return to my old journal.

Currently, I live in the town where I grew up and am working a dream job, so everything's pretty great. For those of you who ever go back through my very old entries, they were written by a very confused, very depressed university student. I'm much, much better now. :)

Welcome to my new-old little corner of the internet, let's have some fun!
