This is my take on how GSR started. It had to start somewhere right? Will start in season 5 and continue to the end of season 9.

Grissom got burned, badly... and it was a long time ago. Here's my take that spans nearly thirty years in the life of Gil Grissom. GSR... spoilers up until about season 5, then it follows my own timeline.

Brand new series! What if Sara and Grissom had been involved with one another all along, instead of only becoming so later on? A/U, obviously. Chapters are brief and set after the episodes they are named for. Will eventually span all 9 seasons. R&R!
