YAY! What an ending -- can't wait for the epilogue.
I've really enjoyed reading this fic. I *still* haven't watched American Idol (not even once! ok, well I may or may not have watched an Adam Lambert performance on youtube recently, seeing as how all of fandom is freaking out about him right now. I suppose I'm proof that you don't need to have knowledge of the people IRL to enjoy a well-craftd fic. I love how these modern people seamlessly fit into a historically believable past.
There's something restrained (?) about your writing that I think allows the characters and situations to shine through, doesn't crowd them. Maybe it's a lack of gratuitous adjectives. :) But I also think this style of writing fits in well with the cool restrained vibe of your war-era setting and the Jazz scene, etc., and adds something to the authentic feel of the time period.
