Title: Chapter 6

Work has kept me busy. Working from home sucks as much as working at the offfice almost but at least the idiots I work with aren't here lol,

Proudly resisting and trans af. So yeah I love Stella. I'm resisting too. I'm not trans or gay or anything interesting but I am definitely resisting the GOP and trump crap. I love how you talk about bigotry and hate and how the snooty haters brought MP and Stella together, how women stood together to survive and built each other up and built this friendship. I love it. I don't know what I love more tho, MP and Stella being best besties or the verbal beating MP gave Jarod near the end of this chapter. Holy $hit!!! She ripped him a new one!!::::::::::::

"I don't want a damn thing from you," answered Parker crisply. "And certainly not another empty apology. You're not sorry, Jarod. You're only perplexed that past actions have produced annoying inconveniences. You burned a bridge and now you need that bridge to reach your son; rebuilding isn't looking promising. That's not remorse. You weren't sorry about the hundreds of distractions, fool's errands, disparaging my family. You're not sorry about— Tommy," whispered Parker in a strangled, brittle voice.

"Nothing could be more cruel or manipulative than sending him to me, giving me something that you knew damn well the Centre would never allow me to keep. You had no fucking right to interfere in my life and certainly not to that extent. My family and career were heinous legacies, compulsory crosses to bear. You, however, were under no obligation to be pursued. You could have faked your death the day you escaped the Centre rather than opting to play mind games. Jesus," she groaned, "you might just as well have fired a goddamned bullet into Thomas' head the day you directed him to Blue Cove. Make no mistake," Parker continued tremulously, equal measures of pain and rage in blue-grey eyes standing with tears that were forbidden to fall, "it's your fault Thomas is dead. I'll go to my grave feeling responsible for his murder but it's your fault"

I mean... my god! Every word she said is true. I've never seen anyone let her confront Jarod about that crap he pulled. Thank you for this and for all of the writing. Keep going please.

Did not see that one coming Mirage. I could see it all though... like I'm there watching. Thank you for keeping these characters alive and doing it exceptionally well.

Title: Chapter 6

Why should she? Jarod is a bastard! 13 years with no communication? He doesn't deserve her. He never did.

Thanks for the update. As always I love the way you write the original Pretender characters and the ones you create!

You are singlehandedly keeping Miss Parker and Jarod alive.



Author's Response:

Yeppers, Jarod is a bastard. There are many other writers also keeping them alive- I don't deserve any credit. The kind words are appreciated, however. Thank you so much for reading and reviewing, Twisted.

Beautifully done Mirage. You are the master of the craft and your original characters are so fleshed out and wonderful. You always leave me craving more. Please make it soon.



Author's Response:

I'm the master of nothing, but I appreciate the sentiment. You're terribly kind. I'll update as soon as life permits. Thanks for reading and reviewing, Christoph.

Title: Chapter 6

I have to say thank you...I'm kind of crying. You understand and say things that....it's like your words are hugs, comforting...if that makes sense. You GET it. I'm one of those millineals who was ostracized by blood....not for being gay or bi but for other reasons. I was without a job and I was alone and scared. I wasn't wanted in the family anymore because I told the truth about something that the family didn't want me to talk about. Sexual abuse...  In many ways, I "came out" too but I'm straight and not trans but I can sympathize. I had to rely on people that weren't family. Music was and is a refuge and a uniter. I love Amazing by George Michael and giggled when I saw that. God, I love that man and miss him so much. I love the Trans AF and Proudly Resisting part too. I fucking hate the pussy grabber. I don't like sexual assaulters....and he bragged that he is one. You write amazingly well and speak from the heart and do justice to the characters. I love Stella. Please say there will be more of Stella.

 



Author's Response:
No one was ever supposed to cry. I feel wretched. I wish I could offer some sort of comfort--

You're not wrong; disclosing survivor status is similar to 'coming out', it's a decision to free ourselves from a prison of silence and live in truth and there are incomprehensible and absurd repercussions and it's senseless. None of it was your fault. It wasn't your fault- please know that. It's not a crime for someone to disclose that they were a victim of a crime, for Christ's sake. Some people, particularly our families of origin, must be just-- entirely bereft of common sense and empathy. Pfft. It's damn infuriating.

I'm glad you had someone to rely on and I hope you've found your tribe- or if not, that you're free of toxic individuals and healing.

Yes, I believe that music is a uniter and an absolute refuge and I'm enormously grateful for it. George Michael is missed (so is Jimi Jamison, Prince, Bowie, Tom Petty, Cornell, etc.).

Stella isn't going anywhere.
Thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts, Lisa. I wish you peace.

More please? OMG!! I love the way you talk about music. It's so true. The honsesty and empathy when you describe music as a uniter. I love how you write these characters too it's so true to their natures and canon. Stella is the best!! More Stellas in the world please!!

Thank you!



Author's Response:

Stella is here to stay. I'm afraid there aren't enough Stellas in this mad world- we have to create our own. Thank you for reading and reviewing, Sam.

OMG I love all those peeps singing and thank you for standing up for millineals and for trans people and for being an ally and for this pretender perfect 2018 fic. your insight is crystalline. Thank you. Thank you so much. i love everythign about this.



Author's Response:

Haha. No one has to apologize. Some readers are more aggressive than others and seem truly enraged that I have to run and take care of my body and do- um 'alive people' stuff. I hate adulting as much as the next person and I don't like money at all but I have a mortgage and I adore hot water. Scribbling fanfic doesn't pay for those things but if it did, I swear, I'd write constantly.

Thank you so much for reading and for all of the kind words, O Dark One. It's much appreciated.
