This was really interesting, with a different-than-normal pairing from what I read and with the woman taking charge. Dancing didn't even come close to being in my head for the prompt! It is a clever way to fit in for them--just be like everyone else instead of their costumed selves.

Nice story!

Thank you! It's funny but dancing was the first thing I thought of. I really do enjoy the Eddie/Harley friendship. Eddie might be a genius but he seems a bit socially inept so it just seems natural for Harley to take the lead.

I also liked the idea that stripping away the costumes and going as the real them becomes the disguise. i wanted to write far more on that but I'll save it for another story.

D'aww, Eddie and Harley are so cute! I like the shifting roles here, with Harley taking charge initially and then Eddie coming back to reality at the end as he re-focuses on the job in hand. And dancing is an excellent use of the prompt!

I do love Eddie/Harley. They seem to have a natural give and take I enjoy playing with. The idea of Harley teaching Eddie to dance was irresistible. Thanks for the review!
