Really enjoyed reading this. You are so good at the h/c, humor, banter, compassion, etc. and I like the longer story. Thank you!

Wow. That was amazing! You find a very nice balance between the hurt and the comfort. :)

I really loved this fic! I hope you'll write more!

GREAT STORY! And so long it took me like three days! But I enjoyed it so much, so full of humor! The squirrel was to blame! That made me laugh! Also the "Starsky and Hutch Camping musical." Classic. And let's not forget "Hutch, you cant buy carrot salad. We, normal people, dont like it, cause its weird." ... A million laughs and smileys to you!

This shows such pathos, with Hutch hurt, trying his best to hold on. You've captured his innocent look very well, when he's ill or hurt. Starsky of course was going crazy. What a horrible decision he had to make, to leave Hutch alone in order to save him! This was really fantastic, Weumsel, and of course, this means I've got to check out all your other work (you're prolific, aren't you?), which means even MORE on my reading list! I love having all this S&H goodness to dive into! Thanks for a great story.

"What happened?"

"Hutch stepped on a squirrel."

You have a great writing style!

Wow, great job! Poor Hutch, he really had some bad karma in this story. It took me to nights to read this story but I must say that I was riveted the whole time! Loved the time you took setting up the boys' relationships and the town's settings. I'm glad Hutch is okay. Excellent story!

I adore this story... You have a real talent. I love the mix of humor and angst, I hope you write much more :-)

You're stories are such a joy to read, I nearly choked on my food when Starsky said "was that weight watchers?" And the other side of the spectrum of emotions, the seriousness, the pain and comfort,its so realisticly written. Hope you keep writing...

Kreek.

Buddy, I'm so sorry! I knew that you were going to post this, and then I forgot! :( So sorry!

Plus, I was waiting for the Author Alert, which I never got! Stupid ff! Grr.

So, anyway, here's my second review, since I already told you most of what I felt about it, anyway.

I know I told you I'd read another of your stories today, "Rage Against the Dying of the Light," but when I went to read it, I saw that you'd posted "Drawback," which I absolutely *love*, and I had to take the opportunity to read it again.

Oh, such torture! (Tell me you could hear the sarcasm.)

Anyway, *now* I'll get to the actual review! :)

First of all, you know I loved the "Principal tone." *grin*

"By now, his skull felt as if it had been divided into different parts, each responsible for the production of a different sort of pain, and each taking its job very seriously."

Wow. That's the *perfect* description of one of the many horrible types of migraines. Nicely done. I think I'll use that the next time I'm suffering through one. Thanks for the future funny! :)

Jeez, just the thought of being impaled to a tree with your own body… *shudder* The horror at this knowledge would be almost as bad as the actual pain, I think. Of course, I really can’t know that, never having been impaled before, but it’s a pretty horrible thought. Knowing that you’re trapped, and that it’s your own body that’s being used to trap you… *shudders again*

"...when the inside of your mouth felt likes something furry had taken a nap in it."

:)

Now, I've personally never had a hangover, but I love hearing peoples' descriptions of them, and I never get tired of the ones that describe the leftover tastes and textures of the mouth. I read one in the comic strip "Calvin and Hobbes." (Another great set of buddies.) "Tastes like a burp died in my mouth."

You know I love the squirrels! :)

Every time you write h/c, you amaze me yet again. You are just *THE BEST* at it. I mean, it's never that only one is in pain; they're both suffering.

Ah, I'd forgotten the poor, unfortunate, young Dr. Buckley. :)

And you know I love the "Starsky and Hutch Musical"! :)

Yet another fantastic story from the amazing, spectacular, genius that is Weumsel!

Hab Dich lieb, Buddy!

Thanks back at ya, for being my friend. You're certainly the best.

I just have to take a moment to tell you that your fics are absolutely awesome! I know this to be true because I have read all of them once, most of them twice, and some of them three or four times...and enjoyed them just as much each subsuquent time. Excellent, excellent work - please keep writing for us!

This was an excellent, excellent story. Well-written, ridiculously in-character, and with a wonderful blend of hilarity and drama; I was riveted. *nod* Also, your "bad guys" were extremely believable and intelligent, which is a rare thing to find in a fanfiction, let me tell you. Even your incidental characters (Knox, for example) were interesting and fun to read about. All in all, a great read; I've already put it on my favorites list.

...and you know, Starsky and Hutch should really know better than to go on camping trips. *shakes head* But ah, well. Them never learning that lesson just means more fun-filled fanfiction for the rest of us. ;) Anyway. Great work, thanks for the exciting and entertaining read, and I'll look forward to whatever new stories you come up with in the future. :)

that was a great read! i love your stories, and this was no exception. you have such a way with the guys...

I was so happy to read another great story from my favorite fan fiction author. As usual, the story was perfect with a great plot. If only you had been around when the series was on tv. If you were writing the scripts it would still be on tv. Please continue to write many more stories as I impatiently await you next story. Your Fan,Freddie

I can only agree, lol, but I told you that already, anyway. I just have to repeat myself here and I, too, loved the singing and the banter. Great, as usual! More!

Sandra

*grin* I don't have to say anything, do I? Well, okay, I do it anyway. It was SO great! It just had everything in it! And the singing was so cute, it made my heart melt.

And, yes, I'm also writing and writing and writing...
