Why this must be read: Apart from his unfortunate use of the spelling "Aziraphael" (okay, that's 'unfortunate' only to me; I'm sure there's a perfectly good Milliways RPG related reason for using that spelling *g*),copperbadge has a near-perfect sense of tone and voice for both Good Omens and the universe inhabited by Lord Peter Wimsey. In this story, the two worlds are brought together quite seamlessly.
One of the best things about Good Omens fanfiction is that it can be set in any historical era (the 'births' of Aziraphale and Crowley pre-dating the creation of Humanity, of course). In "Devil Took the Soldier Boy," the setting is World War I, and the Major - a "favourite" of his men - has seen more horrors than most people could do and stay sane. For Crowley and Aziraphale, Major Wimsey is a battlefield upon which they replay the test of Job. Crowley has had his turn...and now it's time for Aziraphale (with a former-Sergeant's help) to take his turn.
