title: Bad Hair Day (SPOILERS through 1x19, "The Only Light in the Darkness")
summary: One way the team didn’t find out about Ward. Or, Ward’s symbolic stubble backfires on him, Skye and May bond over aesthetics, and there is entirely too much discussion of depilatory practices for Coulson’s comfort. (Also, comparative hairstyling.)
characters: Skye, Melinda May, Phil Coulson, Grant Ward [& Grant Ward's Chest, Grant Ward's Stubble, Grant Ward's Chest Hair (Not Appearing In This Fic)
rating: general audiences
length: 1250 words
notes: I’m just saying, Ward has a very nice chest, which was very ostentatiously hairless in that scene when Simmons was patching him up. This, while he spent all of last episode and most of this one with symbolic stubble. Something doesn’t add up.
