File:fix2art4.jpg| from issue #2, SVE, an example of her fluid and lanky Starsky
File:fix2art1.jpg| from issue #2, J. Jones; this is an example of one of the author's preferred styles, a portrait of Starsky and Hutch—this illo was one that could be used for many zine stories as it didn't give any clues, aside from the lack of Hutch's mustache, to time or place

From the editorial: 
* This Time Last Year by Lutra Cana (1)
* Doors by Elizabeth Lowry (6)
* Against the Tide, poem by Lynne Dhenson (22)
* Just Beyond the Light by Sarah Problem ("Even though the two detectives had slowed down as much as they could without looking suspicious, they were rapidly running out of maneuvering room. If they walked past Bittner, it would look strange if they just stood on the sidewalk and talked. Even if they tried to make it look like they were waiting for a ride, it might spook the man. If they walked around to the front of the building, to try to signal the second shift, Bittner could disappear, and they'd have no idea which direction to search. They could split up, but then one man alone could lose him just as easy as two. Starsky moved into action even as a solution flashed through his mind. Stopping just outside the limit of the street lamp, he turned toward Hutch and grabbed his shoulders, pulling the taller man around to face him. Smiling at the questioning look on Hutch's face, he pushed him firmly backwards until his back was against the brick of the alley wall. "What —?" The question stopped abruptly as Starsky moved forward, leaning seductively against Hutch's body.") (23) 
* Magic Man, poem by Lucy (41)
* Nuttier Than A by Merricat/MRK (42)
* Scene by Miriam Heddy ("Fine, mebbe Hutch needed some space. He could dig that. But he himself was bored and curious, and who knew — maybe he'd like "Making Love..." The married guy was kissing the writer, who was also, coincidentally, a guy. Starsky looked around, just to see what everybody else thought about it. Did they all know they were payin' to see a queer movie? He got a sinking suspicion that they all had known. Two rows back, a guy was leaning against another guy — touching him — What was Hutch doin' coming to see this?") (47)

* On Any Given Sunday by Lucy ("A scene we didn't see from the episode "Savage Sunday.") (1)
* Act by Miriam Heddy sequel to "Scene" in the previous issue ("Hutch closed the door, leaning against it for a moment before locking it. "Tired?" Hutch nodded, pushing off the door to stand straight. But Starsky's hands blocked him, pushing his shoulders back against the door. "Tired?" Starsky asked again, this time whispering in his ear. He murmured, "No," and brought his hands up to Starsky's waist, settling at his hips, pulling him closer. He was tired, but it was wonderful to touch Starsky, to hold him. He'd wanted to do it all day, just to hold him. He didn't have the energy to do more than that, not even to move away from the door, much less make it all the way to the bed. If they were going to make love, it was going to have to happen here, and Starsky was going to have to do all the work.") (4)

The cover is by Virginia Sky. It contains no other art.
* Desperate Measures by Jessica Celliers (""Starsky, get the door — oh shit!" The grocery bag ripped open and an antipasto salad tumbled to the floor. Hutch sidestepped the mess and raced toward the kitchen, trying to keep a pizza flat without spilling anything more. He made it to the counter and sighed in relief. "Starsky?" Hutch went back into the living room and stooped to pick up the mess. "Where the hell are ya, Starsk?" "He's with me, I'm afraid." The raspy voice was suddenly behind him — too close — and the snicker didn't sound entirely sane. Hutch dropped the salad a second time, drew his Magnum and spun. Something smashed against his face as he tried to rise, and he crumpled in a heap, half-blind. A boot stomped on his wrist and pressed hard; the gun was pried from his hand. Above him, the voice giggled and wheezed. "You must be Hutchinson." The Magnum swung toward him in a deadly, flashing arc. "Pleased to meet you." Everything went black.") (1)
* Here and Now by Morgan LeFey ("The slope of the beach gentled as they wandered along the shoreline until eventually the water flowed easily back and forth across the sand. In the moonlight, the water created dark geometric patterns as waves rolled in on one other and then crossed paths once again on their way back out. Watching the ripples fold into the ocean, Starsky wondered at the recent changes in his and Hutch's relationship...and the recent changes in him. "Penny for 'em?" Starsky glanced up sharply at Hutch's gentle request. "A penny?" He snorted derisively. "What do you think you're gonna get for a penny?" "My money's worth, " Hutch teased as he dropped Starsky's hand and reached up to tousle Starsky's hair, which had grown long and wild since the shooting. Starsky knew that he'd have to get a haircut before appearing for his medical review but right now he liked his hair long. He liked the way the wind blew locks of curls around his face, but more than anything, he liked the way Hutch's hands felt as they carded through it — something they did with increasing frequency.") (18)
* I Know What You’re Thinking… by Blue Starsky (37)
* French Winters by Ioannia (""Too cold to move," came Starsky's response, though I knew it wasn't true. I stepped behind him and pulled the blanket away carefully, kissing his shoulders, the nape of his neck, the soft spots beneath his ears. He grumbled. I slid my hands over his hips and into the line of fur that ran down his abdomen, and then I turned his head back with my chin and meshed my mouth with his, so hungrily I forced him down onto my shoulder where he stayed, quiescent. Then I wrapped both hands around his cock, which was hot as a fire iron and stiff as one, too, and just squeezed, released, squeezed again. "Oh, love," I murmured, unable to keep the words silent. "Want you, want you, need you so bad, so bad." "Yeah, baby blue. In your bones, in your heart."") (44)
* Just Don’t Let Go by Cyanne ("This latest blowout was indicative of the norm for them of late. Starsky couldn't help but think when they used to kiss each other goodbye. At first they'd take time for a long deep kiss or two or three. Then it dwindled down to just a short peck and in recent times he was lucky if Hutch said goodbye before he left. And other than a dropped name here and there, he had no idea what Hutch was doing. It wasn't that he didn't trust him, they had promised to be faithful to each other and there was no doubt in his mind that Hutch had kept that promise. Maybe it really was too good to last forever. They had had something special for all those years, and it had become stronger in the five years since the shooting. It had taken them far too long to build their home together, a home that involved far more than just the house they shared. He hadn't expected the ongoing battle to hang on to what they had. It shouldn't be so easy to break them, not after what they'd been through and what they'd built with each other over the years. He hated watching it all fall apart and the sensation that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't do a damned thing about it.") (51)
* Stopping Places by Lutra Cana (58)
* Since You Asked by Animasola (""Come on, Starsk. You've got something on your mind and I'd like to hear it." Hutch dug in his pocket and came up with the .38 bullet Starsky had given him at the hospital. "See?" He put the shiny little cylinder between his teeth and bit down, mumbling around it, "Ah kin take it." Starsky sighed and scratched his head. There was a reason why he'd fed Hutch that bullet, aside from the cheap gag. Days penned up together inside the Torino on stakeout had worn him down. Sometimes it was so damn hard to keep his fingers away from those lips. What he'd really wanted that morning was a carton of fat strawberries to feed Hutch, really tart ones that would make him gasp and pucker up. And he'd have thrown the sticky stems into the back seat if it might have made those lips smile.") (89)
