I need more of this right now. Thank you for not making this chapter chick flicky. They talk like women not school girls and I love that. Stella cares that her friend is protecting herself with protection. That is awesome. It's perfect and they are all real and the characters are all fleshed out and just like I remember them. I like how candid everyone is and no one's being full of sh!t. I know it's called the Pretender but I don't like posers and pretenders. What can I say? This is refreshing as hell. Thank you for Stella too. She is briliant. I hope you'll show the dinner Parker and Jarod have and not leave that part out. I want to see how they progress. I don't think it'll be easy. How could it be?

Mirage!
How are you?
It's been a bit of a day and I chanced coming to this site in case you had updated a story. I'm thankful that you did.
This was hilarious! Stella is a great character!
As always thank you for keeping Miss Parker and Jared alive!

Parker's remark about dental dams lol. I love that you keep it real and keep them in character and have comedy in this but you also talk about condons and dental dams and revelant info that needs to be openly discussed with no taboo or shame. I can't stop you. I'm so addicted. I will always return to you forever. The stories are all top notch and this one keeps getting better and better.
I'm so addicted.
More please?

Stella rules! I love her. She dazzles seriously and brings so much to these characters I know and love. How empowering that Miss Parker says she doesn't regret anything. But yeah, she's going to feel a little weird about sex with Jarod after that whole lifetime of not touching him thing that is really hard to ignore and she was trained not to touch him.... ummmm except to tie his hot a$$ up and take him back to the centre so yeah. I know you think Jarod is hot right? Winks. I'm kidding. He can be annoying I guess so yeah point to you Mirage. Did he say 'trust me' too many times? Or was the "believe me" thing? Trump does the 'believe" me thing so I can see the problem there. But you still know Jarod is a good guy right? Anyhoo You nailed all the complexities and still left Stella a sympathetic friend who has MP's back no matter what. Unconditional love... oh I love that. I wish there was more of that. MP calling Stella Boomer and the entire conversation.. hello kitty socks. I love all of it. You Rule.

More of this please? Don't get me wrong. I love the dark Jarod stories but this is amazing. Just when I began to wonder if you could only write dark stories you surprise me with this. I know you've written a few other more normal stories. I guess you've really only written two or three really dark stories. It seems like more sometimes tho. Excuse my rambling. Jetlag. This is amazing. That's all I wanted to say. I'm going to lie down now.
Author's Response:
Ah, yes, haha, I get this A LOT. I've scribbled more not-entirely-the-King-of-hellJarod fics than spawn-of-SatanJarod fics. His baseline is rather dark, however. This is a man that stole an organ from a convict who was minding own business serving his time in prison prior to being broken out of prison-- which is a felony. Jarod committed a host of felonies in that one episode alone. This is a dark series and I do tend to scribble dark fic.
No worries though. I hope you had a nice rest.
Thanks for reading and reviewing.

"remind me not to put you on speaker phone: lol. Jarod is so funny and Parker's deadpan responses are funny. I like how she don't act shook at all by anything he says. She's all you can talk while eat. I'm glad they're gonna have dinner. Finally. The characters are all perfect the things they say are brilliant. It's like watching the series all over again. Thank you for that. Congrats on this.

That's my favourite Chopin piece and it's so orgasmic and so fitting for Jarod. I love how you modernize my favourite series and my favourite characters. You write them HOW they are and I can see them and I love it. Please keep keeping them alive for me. You're everything Mirage. This is everything. I love you bunches.

It's always exciting to see Mirage back in recently added section again. I love this, their interaction is so real and it's like being there with them. This chapter was too short and that's my only complaint. Can't wait for more!

I'm loving Jarod's candor. I always have. You are a wordsmith Mirage one of those authors I will always keep coming to over and over. I'm reading Circles of Hell again... lol but don't be too angry. It's amazing it's really disturbing tho but it's plausible. I can't get anough Mirage.

Welcome Back!! You are always sorely missed. Miss Parker having Jarod audited is the most Miss Parker thing ever and I love it. You are the master of dialog and leave me wanting more. More. Now. Please!!
Reviewer: Christoph Signed [Report This]Date: 04/11/19 08:05 pm
Jarod is hilarious and I'm so glad you've kept him that way. Jarod has also grown up ALOT and had some time to realize he'd made some mistakes and... if I'm honest that would have to happen way way way before any kind of trust too because our boywonder Jarod has done some really f*cked things to Parker in the past and Parker probably puts in the context of the game and that's how he played it but I feel better knowing that Jarod is more woke and is willing to work to earn her trust. Parker says nothing. She doesn't say she approves or think it's cool that he tries to earn her trust she just asks him who he is. I love his answer "the same pain in the ass" awesome. This is Pretenderlicious. so many feels and so many shippery pangs. I need more. You are a GENIUS.

OMG! Woot! Jarod wouldn't be Jarod if Jarod wasn't candid about sex and the "who are you" and then him replying with "someone who is..." is just like the series and yes it SHOULD be like the tv series in so many ways because this is fiction based on the TV series so thank you THANK YOU THANKYOU!!! These characters are... the characters and just like they are supposed to be and I love Jarod's confession. Oh my HEART!! Shipper heaven... even though you aren't a shipper. Thank you. More please please please?

A missing piece for missing pieces indeedy Mirage. That was a huge confession for Jarod to make and it's the only thing that makes sense and I appreciate and enjoyed the comparisions between walls in construction and walls that Miss Parker has. More. Please?

It's steamy in here. Thank you for writing, for sharing your work, keeping these characters alives and in character. You say you don't write smut well. This isn't smut. It's hot erotica and you write it well. Thank you for not using tasteless slang but also for not writing other things that make it difficult for the reader t know that sex is actually happening. NO kidding. There are stories where the writer is so vague the characters be dancing or eating or anything else but the write clams they were having sex. I don't know why people can't say what they mean. You keep it real without the bullshit. Thanks for that. I hope there will be more of this story. You wouldn't leave us hanging?

I made a mistake in my review. I would love to hear your thoughts on the Island episode. Didn't she seem strange and afraid, et. ?
Author's Response:
Hello, Shy. Ah, the Island episode. I have so. many. thoughts. I wish I didn't. My opinion at the moment, which is entirely inconsequential, is that maybe she was finally being herself with him in Scotland and there was nothing strange about it. I suppose it isn't exactly normal to treat people the way she typically did (snarl, glare, hiss, spit, threaten to shoot, rinse, repeat). He didn't seem to believe her actions were strange or out of character. I wondered if he would inquire about concussion; she was, after all, struck in the head prior to that near-kiss. He didn't even seem to be considering pulling back and asking her, "how fucking hard did you get hit in the head?" I think she spent a lot of her childhood afraid (afraid of getting caught with the bunnies, afraid of Raines, afraid of seeing the corpse/Faith that she demanded Jarod help her find) and I think Jarod never stopped seeing her as that little girl. He referred to the sarcasm/glaring/snarling as a facade. And if he was correct, and it was all facade, it stands to reason that what we thought was strange in Scotland was normal, and what we thought was strange is what Jarod saw every single time he looked at her and maybe he never stopped seeing that little girl. I suppose that could explain why he tried to help her, why he didn't treat her the way he treated Lyle. Or not. I don't know. Ask the creators.
