Why this must be read:

We're going to stick with this combination of pairings for a quite-different fic. It's one of the first - if not the original - Generation Kill wing!fic. It is also hilarity of the highest order - as one of the [livejournal.com profile] generation_kill fen commented, it's 'pure cracky amazingness'. [livejournal.com profile] sparky77 is my go-to author if I want to laugh my ass off, and not have to worry about the plot (because the plot and the world hold together - and it takes talent to do that, as well as making it hilariously funny).

Anyway. Walt is an angel (because face it, he looks like one). Ray isn't, but he's in Heaven anyway; the angels are pretty sure he's a punishment. The dialogue is snappy and absolutely spot-on, and the way the description is done fits perfectly. If this doesn't make you laugh at least a little bit, you may be dead inside.


For the most part, Heaven is a very organized place. There is order and structure and all the angels have a rank and know their place.

There is also Ray.

The demons say that Ray belongs with them. That he must have gotten lost. That he’ll find his way down to them eventually.

Ray says that he always knows where he’s going and that there is no way he is ever going to Hell. The beer sucks. And it smells bad. Hell, not the beer, though he is sure that the beer smells bad in hell, too. And he has never once met a demon who had anything interesting to say. He’d be bored out of his fucking mind in Hell.

The angels say that Ray must be some sort of punishment. That they must have angered God and he sent them Ray to teach them about patience, or as a reminder that they must love all of God’s creatures no matter how strange. Or, as suggested by the angel Walter on a particularly trying day, because God’s a vindictive bastard with a mean sense of humor who loves to watch angels squirm.

“I’m not saying that you don’t have a point,” Ray says when Walt shares this theory with him. “It’s just that I really don’t want to be struck by lightning, so if you could take a few steps over that way.”
