Poor guy. Great beard, though.

Read this last night


very good explanation.


another great ff

Loved your story!

This is one of the beter reasons I have read behind Grissom growing the beard. I really liked it.

Good take on Grissom´s beard and why he grew it in the first place. Also a nice way to cover the shaving off of the beard.

Yes, this is a very Grissom-y explanation for the mysterious beard, "born of necessity but he’d kept it as a sort of talisman…totally unscientific, but true nonetheless" as you beautifully say :)

Insightful, yet cute. I loved it! Hope to see more from you. :)

Ok, maybe I should take down the memorial shrine I put up to "the beard", but only if the writers of the show can explain things just as well as you did.

That was a very nice explanation... The whole thing had a very quiet feel to it. Nicely done!

very well written ;)
truly sweet and beautiful !

Love the way you gave the beard such significance by tyeing it into his hearing loss history. Love the way such small notes conveyed so much info. I'm still gonna miss the beard!

Now that is so right on-you caught the wistfulness of Gris's dilemma-and the beard he used to protect himself. Now he doesn't need it anymore!

Great little story-thanks!

I really enjoyed this, but I confess it left me wanting to see more of this relationship because it felt so calm, loving and peaceful. Thanks for sharing

Wow, if I wasn't so totally speechless I'd tell you this was fabulous. That's exactly the explanation I had in mind for him to grow the beard in the first place. Of course, you've expressed it much more eloquently than I ever could. I was mourning the loss of the beard but I'm starting to like the idea of clean-shaven Grissom thanks to you.
