Kink Bingo fic: "In the Blackout" (The Charioteer)

My third KB story. I was supposed to have finished a bingo by today but that didn't happen, alas.

Title: In the Blackout
Fandom: The Charioteer
Pairing: Laurie/Ralph (with mentions of Laurie/Andrew)
Rating: Teen
Word count: 1306
Kink: Scars/Scarification
Content notes: No standard notes apply.
Summary: What do scars matter?
Notes: Set after the end of The Charioteer; my Feelings About Ralph are probably definitely showing. The line Laurie quotes is from Siegfried Sassoon's "Does It Matter?" Because of how much (by my standards) and how fast (by my standards) I'm writing for Kink Bingo, I suspect a lot of the stories are going to end up in dialogue with each other; you may notice echoes of "The Undone Years" and "Occupying Forces" here. Try to think of this as thematic rather than self-plagiarism.
