I rarely like songfics, but this was sweet. You write very well, and I'd look forward to reading more of your stuff. A couple of things jarred me out of total waffy sighs. First off was the title of your fic --I was expecting something to do with "America the Beautiful" . Perhaps a title with one of the lines from "Fields of Gold" would fit better. The second of course, is the fact that you killed off our Lois after only 16 years of marriage, and at such a young age. It struck a bit too close to home. Unless you had a reason that related to the storyline (cancer-causing-bad-guys, stray bullets from gangsters, falling off of buildings, etc.) I'd leave that part out. It's not that I object ot darkfics/deathfics, but this didn't really fit the rest of the story. just IMO.
But, all in all, this was a job well done.
