Summary
Opening a year after the conclusion of Hold Me Closer, Tiny Dancer.
Mickey becomes the talk of the town when he debuts his new alter ego, Miss Cha Cha Heals, the Dancing Queen of Chicago. With Ian's skill at the sewing machine, Mandy's makeup lessons, and his own talents, Mickey is ready to take the city's drag scene by storm one story at a time.Click here for the previous work, Hold Me Closer, Tiny Dancer
https://archiveofourown.org/works/58359820These are all going to be episodic stories and most won't necessarily be released in linear order. The time span takes place over the first five-ish years of Ian and Mickey's marriage.
