Summary:  Scars can tell a lot about a person
Author's Note: Written for fandom_me

Jack lay on the bed, the scar on his hip obvious in the moonlight.  Ianto gently stroked the thin line.  It looked deep and old, when he’d asked about it Jack grimaced and changed the subject.  For other scars he’d told long, improbable stories of derring-do; something about this scar that was different.   The other injuries had left their marks upon his body, but this one had left a scar on his soul.

 Ianto leaned over, kissing it softly, he couldn’t take away the painful memories associated with the scar, but perhaps he could add some pleasant ones as well.

Oh, I really like this, that Ianto recognizes it as being different from other scars, and knows what that means. That is so Jack, too, to have long, improbable stories of derring-do for his scars.

Yay! Thank you! this one fought me a bit. I kept getting distracted by Ianto stroking Jack's naked hip... I wonder why *g*

Hee! Yeah, I can see why that might be a problem!

so what is so special about the scars on his hips?

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

No idea, for whatever reason that one scar is different for Jack, and Ianto knows it

I love this -
this one had left a scar on his soul
Every warrior must have one of those...

Jack especially. Glad you liked it!

Good sense of place here. Quiet, very nice. The moonlight is good.

It kept distracting me though, I was trying for a quiet thinky piece but the idea of naked Jack in the moonlight..... :)

I was leaving commenting on this until I could think of how to say what I wanted to. I still can't, but the uppermost thought in my head is that this kind of goes beyond under-your-skin intimate. It's lovely.

I think that's one of the best compliments I've ever received. Thank you!
