considering he had been about to add a great deal of lead-based ventilation to Eddie's suit
Oh my! "lead-based ventilation" - I had to smile. :D)

There's a weak pulse under his fingers. "Thank goodness," he says without thinking.
I liked this reaction (so immediate and subconscious).

"Dead bodies tend to equal Batman tends to equal Arkham." Lecturing keeps him from showing how unpleasant he finds the idea of Harley in Arkham again.
WOW - That was nice how concerned was Eddie about Harley.

"If we ever end up in Arkham together, Eddie, I'll keep you safe. I promise." She kisses him on the cheek. "I wouldn't let anyone hurt my friends!"
AWWWW! Harley was amazing!

She knows he tends to speak in anagrams but she's never patient enough to figure them out.
Okay, I confess, I quite like anagrams in Czech. But in English...(It's not only about patience in my case. :))

"You're cute, Eddie."
He is. He definitely deserves the second kiss! :)

They are both so cute and awesome in your stories! And they fit so well together!
Thank you for sharing this wonderful story!

I always love Eddie for his mixed-motives. At some level, I think he finds killing kind of crude and obvious, no aesthetic quality to it at all. :) And he does hate the idea of Harley in Arkham, just on general principle, I think.

*grin* The anagram is "dearest Harleen," but I would never ever see it myself if I hadn't made it (with help from an anagram web page!) I just can never see them...

I'm really glad you liked this, it was fun to write!
