You have made my entire year fabulous by doing this. OMG.
"mankebab." OMG. I would pay Michael T. Weiss good money to quickly do that scene while crying out "don't compose a man kebab baby." I want the ring tone. I'd set my alarm and have that ring tone wake me up each morning. Every time I get angry I'd play that so he could talk me dowm from punching someone.
You know how well he delivers a line. You know he could do it.
Like, oh god, that is my new favorite line. I know he was only thinking the mankebab line but I'd love to hear that. I want to know how he would say that for Jarod.
Don't worry. Don't worry don't worry, I won't ask him, I won't say a word. I won't mention fanfic or you or this story or mankebabs or skewers.
You're worried, aren't you?
It's ok. I promise I won't say a word. Please continue this. I've been dying to know Parker will recover herself and her life and if Jarod will ever pay for what he's done. You write it so well, realistic. I can never get enough.

I know that I'm in for one big time hell of a ride. Of course the subject matter is hard and that's a given. I had a hard time watching the Risque Business episode of The Pretender.
The Perdition ending of FON was my least favorite ending of your choose your own ending 3 chapter choice set and I understand and appreciate you giving us 3 endings so we could choose. I know you did that as a gift to readers who wanted happiness for Jarod and Miss Parker. It's just so dark.
I'm excited to see where this will go.
More please and thank you young lady.

Yaaay heey! I've wanted this for long. I triied to bribe you with Maker's Mark whisky but you had your scruples and said 'no thank you, one day I'll revisit this' and FINALLY!!!
ONE DAY HAS ARRIVED!
I so didn't like the idea of Jarod having Miss Parker all this time and you probably didn't either. This is so exciting. I just can't even Mirage.
Shook. Happy. Excited.

I don't know what to review. I don't know if I will like this right now at this time in my life. I'm sorry. I'm so so sorry. Please don't be mad at me. Please never be upset about opinions.
Your writing is eloquent and it's always in character and well written and the stories you tell need to be told INCLUDING THIS ONE and there's always a reason that things have to be said.
A. BUT DarkJarod is totally terrifying. You were right all those times you said that Jarod was already dark in the tv series. EVEN Darker, dark like he was in Perdition and the earlier chapters of FON is too horrifying. He scares the shit out of me Mirage.
I don't usually have a problem reading even graphic rape.
I think it's because you had his speech pattern, dialog, mannerisms, facial expressions, body language and everything about him too on the nose. You do that with all of the characters and it is terrifying. It's like being there in the scene. I could see him do all of the horrible things he did. I could hear him say it all. I could see his face. The story needs to be told. It always has. You tell it so exceptionally well. I'm too scared to read the rest of this right now.
B. With the rapistTrumpAntichrist soon being inagurated into the presidency in the US with his eyes set on my country Canada and all of the evil celebrity men... looking at Neil Gaiman now... making news for all of the wrong reasons I don't know if I can handle this right now.
I expect you to continue anyway please. Please keep writing this. Don't let my review slow you down. I know you won't.
You have to write what wants to be written. I understand that.
Others here will need you to write what I know they must be sometimes feeling about the antichrist rapisttrump. They will relate and take comfort in not feeling alone and that is what art is suppose to exist for, to comfort, empathize, to say "I feel the same." I read so much of you and I know that you understand how I have felt. This story hits too close to home sometimes if you know what I'm saying. You make me know that I'm not alone.
I may not be able to always read this one and might not be in the mindset to review.
I beg you to please continue your other stories too. Blindsided and Lucanae first please, and then more of Peripeteia and The Return. A Heroe's Heart is still incomplete too. Oh, more. Please more of those. You are brilliant. Horrifyingly brilliant. It's a compliment that you scare me. Not many people can write in a way that is so real that is scares me.

Daaaaaammmmn baby girl! When I first found your writing I was afraid you weren't active, but you are totally active.
This punched open. The beginning is just wild right from the jump. Crazyamazing! Jarod's refusal to play doctor is bang on.
He wouldn't want to do that, and it was a trap anyway it seems. Jarod doesn't want to be like Jarod anymore, not like that anyway. My only hope is that this goes longer than fifity chapters.
I want a nice LONG long long long long story.
I know it's not YOUR fault that the The Pretender stopped making new episodes and never really ended or continued satisfactorily but I have expectations now. There are only like four authors here who are active at all. I expect you all to keep writing. Do it. Don't argue with me. I love this first chapter. I need more and more forever. If you weren't going to write you shouldn't have ever posted so you're here and you might as well keep going. *****WINKS*****

My mind is officially blown! 2025 is wild already. It's gonna be even more lit now. Mirage is back with the darkness. DarkJarod is baaaaaaaack!
I never believed you would do it. I know you seemed really very incredibly strongly opposed to touching Forces of Nature again. Jarod is scary already. He's dark already. Then leveled up when you wrote Forces of Nature. Perdition is a terrifying chapter. All of the dead bolts went clicking into place and the entire story took on an entirely different meaning.
You really burst out of the gate with the first paragraph. You've got that thing. The thing my favorite authors have. I do love action.
I love Austria, too. I love skiing there. I love that gondola ride up. Did Parker by any chance ski the harakari? The suicide slope? I love that one too so I hope she did. I'm glad she isn't some barefoot and pregnant trad wife, growing her own meat and slaughtering itself or whatever.
Those ski poles. Just wowsa. I can see her doing that, designing her own, making them as dangerous as possible, trying to mankebab someone.
Sydney is such a god damn shrink in this. It's so plausible. By the Parker was carving ice I know this one will have some twists and sharp turns. I can't wait.
I'm so stoked for this!

The story is off to a strong start- there is something cinematic about your writing. Here it reminds me of the opening sequence of a James Bond movie, using an exotic location and fast-paced action to reacquaint us with the main players.
Question: this story is meant to continue from the "Perdition" final chapter of Forces of Nature? I think so but would like to be sure.
The elaborate sting, involving multinational law enforcement, which I assume was set up by Broots, and Sydney's explanation of Broots' mindset in general, seems to be setting up the possibility of a "darker" Broots. It is an intriguing twist and if anone could make it work you would be the author. But I'm not trying to help build the roller coaster, just buckling in for the ride.

Woow. Forces of Nature continues. Human nature truly is hideous and nothing is more hideous.
I was on the edge of my seat with this and it's only the first chapter so that should tell you everything. You are a masterful author and story teller.
I can't wait to read more.
Thank you for continuing with this.

oh and I'm never looking at my ski poles again the same way ever. skewer. mankebab. I love Jarod's "don't compose a man kebab, baby" oh, I want to see how they are with each other. I'm glad she's not a stupid TRADwife or stepford wife or any of that crap.
Jarod is gonna want his equal, the woman he fell in love with and that's the badass godess miss Parker. THank you for not changing her or him. This is perfect.

Firstly, you're not still in the Santa Monica area are you? I know you had a thing and that you have family there. You specifically mentioned Mulholland, and Malibu, too. Your Aunt that drags you to parties and beaches to meet celebrities is there too? Something about orange county and Santa Anna? I remember the conversation. I hope you're ok. The destruction is nuts. I thought it would be earthquakes. Wow, can't really process it all.
Be safe my friend and fandomly!
Now on to it:::
I never thought I'd live to see the day when you FINALLY wrote us a sequel.
Bribery? It's a pity that you were so unbribeable. I quote you now::: "Even if you offered me all of the money in the world I wouldn't do it. Not now. It doesn't feel like the appropriate moment. I'm sure that some day I will have to revisit this, for better or worse. It's difficult to see the monsters win and escape accountability, but sometimes they do, and, for now, Jarod is one of them."
I'm super stoked that that day has come!
AT LAST!
Thank you. It's brilliant.

I always knew Forces of nature was a thriller and horror epic. Human nature being the worst part of any nature.
With Jarod the intelligence makes it moreso plausibly.
I always thought it would be horrific moreso if he went darkerest.
He would be unstoppable.
I have a curiosity. I wait impatient and anticipate.
This is already thrilling me Mirage.
The gratitude i have is unspeakable.

I'm certainly stunned right now young lady.
You launch us into their lives by making it clear that Jarod successfully fled the states with Miss Parker and she appears to willing and that drives home the point that his "therapies" have been successful too.
Zachary?
Another dead child? Is he dead?
Oh, I had concerns.
Zachary would be an adult now if I assume correctly that it's been 17 years?
I'm still so invested in this saga.

I wasn't expecting this so soon after your conclusion of the Unforseen series . I wasn't expecting a dark Jarod return after so many happier normal Jarod stories.
I just accused you of warming up to Jarod and now you do this?
Mirage you are not easy to figure out.
I find this intriguing and action packed, well written. You check all of the boxes as always.
I'm stunned by the dark direction again.
I'm It's reasonable that Jarod wouldn't want to delay anything by saving the child. It was all a set up it seems. A trap. Smart to do that, use Jarod's flaw to catch him. It seems he no longer has that flaw
Sydney is such a scientist. Staring, astonished. So very Sydney.
Brilliant.

It does seem appropriate now... the way the wealthy class gets away with everything (guilty on all counts, but won't be punished or held accountable in any way-- another strawhair, blue eyed--- it isn't lost on me) I thank you for writing this and I know we've talked about your ideas for this. I can't wait for you to write it all. I have been waiting so long for this.
I also think it's appropriate because I need somethig right at this moment and The Pretender and fanfic has always been my safe space. I had to evacuate from the willdfires in Cali and I don't know what will happen now. I take a lot of comfort in art. You and some others here are keeping me from going nuts right now. It might sound cheesy but I've always run away to hide in other universes, books, movies, paintings when mine got too upsetting.
Your universes are so intriguing, exciting. I can see Parker skiing and focus on that for a while.
Thank you. Art is the way we survive and heal. You are creating art here. You won't believe me. You don't have to believe me. I just wanted you to know. I have to say it anyway. Please never stop writing.
