Ohmygosh, when you first expressed interest in writing this (with the roles switched), I got so freaking excited, I started stalking this request. It took a while for me to actually comment, but this fill is freaking AMAZING!
I can't wait until you post more! Romano as a fail!detective is brilliant. You write his character very well, with his shifting the blame of something toward somebody else, and his confidence in his repetitive schemes, and his easily distracted, somewhat emotional nature. . . I love how you portray his feelings regarding 'El Apasionado Caballero.' He's attracted to him (lovelovelove Romano's dream and the events after, where he thinks about the possibility that Spain had seen it) but trying and failing to hide it. And that one scene, where he's basically about to die and he asks for Spain to help him was just so in-character and so beautiful. . .
You characterize El Apasionado Caballero (haha, I totally just copy-paste the name whenever it comes up XD) so well, too. He's silly in that completely oblivious-Spain way, but he's also competent. The relationship he has with Romano is interesting, and I'm really liking how you're fleshing it out. Particularly in this scene, where he saves Romano instead of the diamond.
The humor in this is awesome, too. The bars on the cage are skinny enough for Spain to squeeze through. Romano's fail!team of police who never show up until he calls them. The fact that Romano's using a cage in the first place. I freaking love this! Normally, humor either slides right past me or tries too hard, but this! This is the perfect balance of cute, fluff, romance, action (I love the way you write these scenes by the way), and everything.
Sorry if this is too incoherent and ramble-y; I'm just so excited about this fill! ^^
