Title: And Then One Day

4 is great too. Parker is so kick@ss and tough..and she has to be now. This twist in the chase is so fresh of a plot and you do write it so well Mirage. The characters have evolved but are still the same only better somehow as the other reviewer said this could be the third movie!

Title: Falling

Your writing style has always been so good. I love that Miss Parker dates the wealthy men and angers Jarod and Jarod would pretend to let Nick knock him out. and Nick is Miss Parker's brother in this..I love that he tries to take care of her.

Title: Bait

Your chapters were longer when you wrote this..=) that's a good thing! I have this downloaded and I read it all the last three days and made some notes I will be sharing. I will have to It's soooo wonderful to see Jarod put through the same ordeal as Miss Parker had to go through when she chased him. Lots of cleverness here. It was so nice to see Parker deliever a baby and I could fee the tension in Jarod. Oh Mirage.. I love the way you write.

Title: Reckoning

I just reread the whole thing and I once again enjoyed it! I got very frustrated with Jarod at times, but I think that'a part of the charme of your stories! At first I thought she might have had a child with this Patrick guy, but the marriage to Lyle was a real twist! Even though you gave us that scene were she had to sign the licsense. Overall great, thank you!

Title: And Then One Day

Mirage, first chapter is amazing. Parker on the run and Jarod chasing and Jarod is actually good and I hope he will stay so. I can't wait to see Parker and see how this story will go.

Title: Apprehension

A bit angsty and drawn out in some of the earlier chapters but once the story got going it improved a great deal.  Enjoyed this.



Author's Response:

*Nods* Mhm, angst indeed, and that's precisely why it's (appropriately) labeled as such. *winks* Admittedly, I'm not persnickety about fanfic; I only skim for typos, etc. (things that are not a matter of opinion, unlike "drawn out", which happens often in fanfic) and then I toss the fic into a wok and stir until al dente, haha. It's fantastic that you enjoyed it.

In response to your earlier review: I've had some requests for a sequel; however, the story told itself and ended.

Title: Reckoning

You write Miss P so strong, she's hurting but she overcomes the past and pain but what can she do but live? Her dream and the way he woke her was beautiful and the theme that life goes on is a wonderful way to bring all the loose ends together and move forward. Jarod and Miss P remain a part of each other, they are playful and have some hope and as long as their is hope, their is life for them. This is good as it gets...I enjoyed every word. Keep sharing as I look forward reading your stories.



Author's Response:

Thanks for reading and for the lovely reviews, Jules. It's great that you enjoyed every word and I will absolutely share if I ever have time to write.

Title: Parameters

My computer is giving me headaches but lol, this was great. Like that Nick found his sister in much the same way she found him with Olivia. I think it was wise of Jarod to set parameters for Miss P concerning the investigation but like that she went up angrily and they had sex anyway but I agree with Miss P about Alex and it turns out that she was right about his MO. So glad that Michael didn't rape Miss P and it looks like she might end up with Jarod.

Title: Reckoning

How the hell did I miss the update? Well Mirage what can I say that hasn't already been said? The way she was lying there trying not to cry was so sad..I could see that in my mind as I read and I could imagine her actually doing that. Dark Jarod became sweeter but still dark-ish and very deceptive so I am pleased that he didn't get tototally soft, lol. So I've watched too many MTW movies, lol, whatever but he's better when he's darker. I'm pleased that he killed Tanaka and made Michael the patsy. Great ending too that he'd answer to anything she calls him after all the times he corrected her in story to not call him Spence or Agent but Jarod, lol. I love what you did there. Not many stories can keep up the pace and intrigue throughout but yours did in every chapter. Sad that it's over but Devil's Advocate is shaping up to be dark so I have that, lol. Keep sharing! waves.



Author's Response:

Thanks for reading and all of the lovely reviews, Dark one. Jarod will always have some amount of darkness and deception, the guy has kept Catherine's diary how many years? Oh, MW movies are so dark & it's always a "Larry" isn't it? I can't say he's better but MW is much more convincing as bad arse than he is as "good" guy. Oh, absolutely I will continue sharing (when it's not beach weather, haha).

Title: Apprehension

Darn comp is still crashing. Great details and characterizations..but it's you and you always do those things pretender perfect. I like how you write the relationship inperfect with them arguing but real..and ebil...guns, cuffs and point pumps indeed lol.. Rarely does my attention remain glued for an entire story but you are talented. there are never typos in YOUR story!!!



Author's Response:

Ooh, Jules, thanks for that. I do so like being ebil and face it: Most relationships are imperfect to some extent. Wrong. There ARE typos in all of my fics, but no one's perfect. *winks* Thanks again for all of the awesome reviews, and good luck with your PC.

Title: Lucidity

had to read this one twice wow Mirage! "Torn between desire and duty, Jarod once again stood on a line that once crossed would be forever crossed" and then some epic sex, my friend! DOn't you want to change your mind about coauthoring a fic? First, I like how Sydney was with Parker, gentle and so Sydneyish, second, the Jarod - Parker fight, you like them figthing, and third the way she swallowed and nearly choked on her pride and Jarod's warning and he was right in front of her! Very good.

Title: Hope on the Horizon

A coming to terms with himself is what Jarod needed and you nailed his behavior, the way he tries to help others but never sees his own flaws. I hope he'll correct things and they can move forward. Soo happy to see that Parker is still herself, strong, willed, capable, I think you are gradually steering them where I hope they will go. Great chapter ending.

Title: And The Truth Shall Set You Free

Paroxyms? Had to look that one up lol. You do well moving the story along, something I, as a writer, have difficulty doing and shut up, your characters are fine. I know you say you struggle with them but it doesn't show in your writing. The real struggle is the hooking up of Jarod and Parker...it doesn't happen soon enough for me but after years of hurting each other, I guess it wouldn't be easy if I were to think realisticly about it. Nice of you to point out how Jarod used Catherine to advance his arguments with Parker so true. I like what Jarod told her about love being unconditional and not contigent and her thank you was not syrupy at all.

Title: Body of Evidence

Lyle is like a cat that plays with it's meal, a mouse, for hours on end. Sometimes he eats it, sometimes leaves it to die but it's like years of torture for the mouse. Olivia is wonderful, you create some brilliant original characters in your equally original stories. I can't tell you enough how I like the idea that Jaord's voice was there with Parker and kept her alive and fighting. And too, I liked when Parker impersonated an Agent and bribed the fat cop with donus lol, are all cops are fat in your stories? Want to know the secret she has!

Title: Captive Hearts

Janeane is a trip with her weird sexual lifestyle, lol, funny phone conversation too. It was a nice comedy relief where needed and before the darkness that came during Jarod's watching of some horrible treatment that Parker survived. Very vivid detail, amazing writing. So Parker is aware of her feelings for Jarod and of Jarod's feelings for her so that's a good sign but will they ever stop bickering?

My comp has been acting up but now have it hopefully fixed. I have much reading to do. THat was a hell of a kiss! Jarod takes a stand and leaves Parker standing there! Evil cliffy, my friend. Yuk, I hope Michael Patrick didn't rape her. Lovely phrasing and what typos lol?

Title: And Then One Day

It's hard to say 'goodbye' to Nemesis, it was a great story, exciting from the begining to the end, with best proportions of love, hate, pleasure and pain. I hope that your muse will appear with something new very soon!



Author's Response:

I somehow missed these last two reviews. *slaps forehead* I wasn't intentionally neglecting you or Anna.

Thank you, wow, that's quite the compliment, Kama- one of the best ever, as a matter of fact. I'm thrilled you found it exciting from beginning to end. And I had hoped that I had struck a nice balance of emotions but can never be sure.

Maybe it won't be goodbye forever.

The muse has vanished so I'm immersing myself into reading and reviewing the many fics here at Missing Pieces which is extremely important to the other authors and especially in this small fandom. Perhaps I'll be reading one of your fics soon? Yes? Cheers!

Title: Reckoning

I'm happy to have gotten to read the resolutions to both stories, but sad now they're both over and I've got no more Mirages to look forward to!  Oh, the conflict.  And thank you ever so much for your compliment in response to my last review - that just had me preening all day.  :)   I've been trying to convince my Muse (all covered with dust, and also in a retirement home like Mr. Parker) to come back out and play again, but she seems conflicted between a Pretender-fic, and trying to straighten out the House/Cuddy mess on "House".  Or some bizarre crossover.  Anyway, I really appreciated your kind words.  :)

And touche to Michael Patrick!  Ha ha!  Your line about the lifers liking a man w/manicured hands reminds me of a line in a Brad Paisley country song, talking about men "with deep spray on tans, and creamy lotiony hands, that can't grip a tackle box".  And R.I.P. indeed to Mr. Presnell, an all-time great character actor.  Parker went through the ringer in this story - tortured not once but twice, hunted & falsely accused, but I guess she came out ok in the end - family intact/safe, name cleared, and an amorous fellow Pretender to sex around with.  I also love how Jarod keeps repeating things when he's confused!  Too funny.

Speaking as a Florida resident, a cranky old coot would blend in just fine down here, especially if he was driving 15 MPH with his blinker always on.  :)  I don't have a problem at all with Jarod taking care of Sammy Tanaka, and foisting the blame on Michael.  In fact, I'm kinda proud of him.

*waves bye back*  Enjoy your vacation, but do come back chock-a-block with more stories, yes?



Author's Response:

Hello, Jane, and thanks so much. I didn't know you were a writer! Now, I'll have to go searching for your fics, haha. Well, blow the dust off that Muse of yours and jump back in. The water's great! Write both. Or yeah, a crossover. That would be cool too. And you are so right. What a mess they've made of things over at camp House. Must have been a bad dream. Or House is really in the tub bleeding out after attempting to remove those tumors? Still sitting in the car with Wilson contemplating?

Oh, never heard that song, haha, but I'll have to google and listen. Indeed, Mr. Presnell was an amazing actor and singer:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c20jAK1GcFQ

Yep, poor Jarod, I like him confused and stuttering- he's so fun to play with.

Florida? Hello, neighbor. *waves* I'm near Savannah (at the moment) and have met many sweet old couples passing through from Chicago and New York en route to Florida with the intentions of retiring someplace warm (and it's definitely warm, haha! Sweltering, in fact.). I was thinking of them when I wrote that bit.

Oh and great! I wasn't sure how well it would go over with the readers to have Jarod take life but he's been around long enough to know that sometimes murder is necessary. Sometimes it is.

Lady Muse is kicking around some ideas. We shall see. And I hope you will jump back in as well.

Thanks!

Great work. But DID HAVE TO END!! All good things do they say...Don't you just hate it when a good story ends! You did an absolutely wonderful job with this, the tapestry and all the threads were to say the least - very colorful, imaginative,  suspenseful. Your dialogue was inventive yet remained in character for each. I was glued to each word and loved each chapter.

I think the difference some may note as abrupt ending is in the ending you did tie up the threads but you didn't take 3 chapters to do it and you could have gone that route. There was dialogue mostly between Jarod and MP not between all the characters continuosly through the chapter. You tied up the threads without a definite ending... but most of the shippers (I was naive enough to think shippers meant we had an awful lot of export business people on the list. naive or is it stupid??) will plot that ending with romance.

I can't tell you enough how much I enjoyed your story. And please take a bow... you earned it. Big Time.

I am soooo looking forward to your next romance with J/mp. And I do hope to see more.

Thank you

 

 



Author's Response:

Thank you, nightowl. Yes, it had to end. Lady Muse made me do it. I hate when a good story ends but at the same time, I can get rather pesky when an amazing story remains unfinished. *hint hint* Expect another review in the near future. I've been meaning to revisit your fic again anyway and give you some proper reviews. And now I have plenty of time to read and immerse myself in fan fic.

Oh, absolutely, nightowl. Initially, I was going to have Jarod futilely searh for/chase Parker for a full ten chapters (seriously) and although that would have been SO fun for me (I love when he's frustrated and inept, punching walls and popping pills) it would have definitely dragged out the inevitable- I'd still be writing. You all got the gist of his suffering/aggravation in just a few chapters and that was good enough for me.

No, no, not stupid at all, nightowl. I had to look up "shipper" and "slash" and several other terms when I first discovered Pretender Fic.

Alright then, I'll take a bow (*bows*) for you, nightowl. I'm once again wowed that you (or anyone) enjoyed this thing. Lady Muse is kicking around some ideas so there could be more.

I'm (everyone is) definitely looking forward to your update and I hope we'll be seeing that soon, if real life allows. It would really be the highlight of 2011. You can do it!

Thank you for reading and reviewing, nightowl, as always.
