Hands down, Harriet Vane and Lord Peter Wimsey (a la Dorothy L Sayers). Lord Peter was my first major fictional crush (at age 9!) and later, at 22 and an aspiring author myself, I discovered Harriet the mystery novelist. I love their partnership and I love their understanding of each other, and their sense of humor and their ability to function as individuals as well as as a couple. I try to pattern my own partnership on theirs, and my own career on Harriet's.

Elizabeth Wein:
The story goes from 1938-1943, with the primary action in late 1943. So that's over five years, and Maddie and Julie have to be over 20 by the end of the story. They were enlisted when they met, they'd have needed to be 18, the military wouldn't have wanted to take charge of under-age girls, they didn't boys. So why is this YA? The content isn't especially YA (not that it's R) and the characters are in their 20s.
