Fandom: generation kill Title: a devil dog in baggy pants Pairing/Character Focus: ray person Author: buffyaddict13 What makes this a gem: Josh Ray Person is a US Marine. He thinks he knows what war is. He thinks he knows what friendship means. He thinks there’s no such as time travel. Ray is about to find out he’s wrong on all three counts. a devil dog in baggy pants is a time-travel, body-switch, crossover between generation kill and band of brothers. and it's done so beautifully. ray is literally thrown from his war in iraq into the d-day landing of world war two. we travel with ray as he tries to navigate his way around a war that's already over, with people who are mostly already gone, while trying to get back to bravo company and the people he left behind. it's an emotional journey, with frustrations and fears and heartbreak as ray grows attached to the men of easy company. buffyaddict13 does an amazing job of narrating the parallels of wars 60 years apart while capturing not only ray's personality, but the men of easy company. knowledge of band of brothers isn't necessary, but there are nods to the canon that would be better appreciated with experience of both miniseries.
