Holy wows! I love it. I love all of it. You are the best and the one I always come back to. Your stories are so engaging and have this mood and energy that feels the same as it feels when I watch the DVDs, that feeling of home, only you've given them character growth and are progressing them along through the story. Please continue. I can't get enough.

That was a fast update young lady and as always of pretender caliber, packed with action and fast paced. Top notch writing all the way. I can't wait to see how Jarod and Miss P work together and how she'll repay him.
Author's Response:
I'm curious, too. Thanks for reading and reviewing.

Hey awesome you updated so fast! phew things got heated really intense with those 2 just like on my DVDs I love it!

You better not keep me waiting long. I love the pace of the writing and the updates. 3 chapters all reading and waiting for me makes it feel like my birthday! You should be writing the novels. I'll never stop saying it.
Author's Response:
Well, now I have to keep you waiting. Haha.
You should really stop saying that thing you say you'll never stop saying. I'm exactly where I want to be in my life, and I'm happy, and I enjoy full creative control. These are things to consider. I don't even use my real name. I could be a sociopath (no, really, I think I'd be great at it). Anyway, thanks for the r&r.

You're on the few authors I keep coming back to, one of the few talented, and stories like this are why. Will there be romance in this eventually? Either way, I want more.
Author's Response:
Ooh, I don't know about romance. Mm. We shall see.
Thanks for the r&r, twisted.

Exquisite as always, Mirage.
"Mr. Woozy." "Patchwork" of horrors. Those are references to the Wizard of Oz works, aren't they? I love that you included them, a little nod and homage, and it fit in so subtly and naturally. Now I'm wondering what other Easter eggs I've missed over the years. I also love that you pay homage to canon and provide continuity. You reminded me of the picnic scene that I'd honestly almost forgotten. Little Parker said she hopes the man she loves makes her lightheaded too. Now she's hanging out with Jarod and is experiencing vertigo but her mom is suggesting it's not just the boat causing it. I love your insights into the inner sense and how it works and how Parker is sitting there while Jarod cooks but her mind is engaged elsewhere. Jarod senses she doesn't feel well and that something else is going on and cooks her dry toast without drawing attention to it. I hope she hasn't been impregnated the way Catherine was, and thank you so much for this stand Parker has taken to not forgive and finally realize that her father basically raped Catherine to impregnate her with Ethan. It was always strange that Parker would shrug off something that traumatic and tragic and keep trying to please her father after that ultimate betrayal. This is real character growth and I agree with everything you said about lines being crossed, the taboo of estrangement. It's funny that this is considered a family show but it's centered around a dysfunctional family that is killing Parker. The writing is real and raw and I think maybe you can relate in some way. I can relate too. You really know the characters and where to put them. Please continue.
Ciao!
Author's Response:
That is weird. I was four or five-ish when I last read those books. It sorta works, I guess, and it's not a major leap from Catherine (and Parker's) lightheadedness to the Mr. Woozy and-- yeah, no, my brain is weird. Thanks for the r&r.

Always brilliant, Mirage, and this one's particularly evocative. Your insights into the inner workings of these character's minds is ...astonishing. It's overwhelming like it can be while watching the series. So many intense emotions pass between Jarod and Parker sometimes and you truly capture that like I've only seen captured on screen between Michael and Andrea. What the hell are you doing in fanfic? I will ask that and then ask for much more of your work. Please? I love your writing. You're an amazing story teller.
Author's Response:
Astonishing? Er. I don't know. It's fanfic, y'know. Thank you for reading and for the extremely generous review.

Ohh I read your response to my other review here where I asked you which version of Jarod you found hot, sexy and erotic....and you think that scene with Jarod playing piano was.. what??.you didn't say if it was sexy or erotic just resonant, unexpected and percussive.... and you said the other guy's vomit mitigated the impact...the impact of what? Please explain. He wasn't even partially naked. There was no chest hair or anything. He had all his clothes on. He looked sweaty and his hair wasn't combed and he... what impact? Please explain it all for me. What?! AND please please please keep writing. I just keep jonesing for more.

Oh, yeah, this is actually stunning work. You really know how to keep the momentum going and I love the rythymic style of writing you've developed.

It's actually plausible that Broots would suffer this way. He kept saying he was having a breakdown in one of those movies, and we know how protective he is of Debbie and children in general. It's also plausible that the Centre would want to protect its assetts by wiping the memory of employees on their way out. Brilliantly plotted. You have another chapter already waiting for us. This one's really clicking along. Thank you for sharing your natural gifts.

Top notch, Mirage. You're a master wordsmith and story teller. The action and intringue really pulls me in. Kill Broots? What? I can't not read the next chapter.

Ooohh uh. Dyyyamn. I'm sitting here trying to figure out what I love more about your stories. Is it the stellar story telling, the lyrical prose and writing, or the freaking on-the-nose characterisations? I've never seen the characters behave more like the characters since watching thte characters on the series... I have a paid subscription so I can watch The Pretender and read your stories and now I stare off like... they are the same when you write them. It's scary and I love it. You are my favorite author, the one that keeps me coming back. You keep the series alive for me and I'm grateful. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Please never stop writing.
