1. The Missing Piece by Mirage [Reviews - 60] starstarstarstarstar (3332 words)

Story notes? My dog ate them?

Notes? They were left in my pocket and subsquently eaten by washing machine.

3. Truce? by Mirage [Reviews - 10] starstarstarstarstar (2554 words)

Notes? Mm, they were drenched in coffee.

 

4. Welcome Back, Jarod by Mirage [Reviews - 7] starstarstarstarstar (1784 words)

Fitting title no? Mm?

5. Help by Mirage [Reviews - 6] starstarstarstarhalf-star (3061 words)

9. Unfinished Business by Mirage [Reviews - 8] starstarstarstarstar (1574 words)


Petuary you might ask? I was a bit curious (among other things) about it myself when I woke up at a quarter after four with the word on my lips (the internet has since assured me that such places exist).

Note: Crimson Sphere is one of the fictional terrorist rings that Sergeant Major Muse (formerly Lady Muse) dreamed up (for The Return series). For those of you who love the longer chapters: maybe next time. Email reviewers: you've been rather busy and I appreciate your feedback; I will respond to every email and every review.


No pets were harmed during the writing of this thing.

Unbetaed (or however it's spelled).

10. Tension by Mirage [Reviews - 12] starstarstarstarstar (4637 words)

11. Demons by Mirage [Reviews - 11] starstarstarstarstar (1623 words)

I guess this little tale wasn't complicated enough- that's no longer an issue. I borrowed some lyrics for this (they aren't mine either).

Warning: Kyle also uses slang (tsk-tsk).

12. Recompense by Mirage [Reviews - 12] starstarstarstarstar (5174 words)

I wasn't going to post anything so soon after the (numerous) horrific events (and there simply are no words; there is only hope); however, a rather kind reader from the lovely city emailed me and asked me to update. I couldn't say no.

13. Traffic by Mirage [Reviews - 12] starstarstarstarstar (2488 words)

Fact check: flash drives were invented in 1999-2000ish, so naturally, the Centre was already using the things (Jarod probably invented them ages ago) and Parker could very well have pressed one of them into Jarod's palm during that infamous limo-hand-crushing-pleading scene.

16. Gone (Part III) by Mirage [Reviews - 12] starstarstarstarstar (2544 words)

A reader asked for music during the Parker-Jarod-ness of the story: "Lots of different music." I deduced (no doubt incorrectly) that the reader wanted different genres, decades, artists, etc. and the only reasonable way (in a normal universe) to achieve that was- well, you'll see.

18. Gone (Part V) by Mirage [Reviews - 12] starstarstarstarstar (2772 words)

19. Gone (Part VI) by Mirage [Reviews - 8] starstarstarstarstar (1842 words)

The ghost of Little Miss Parker continues to bedevil Jarod (he sorta has it coming after all those years of tormenting adult Miss Parker).

21. Gone (Part VIII) by Mirage [Reviews - 14] starstarstarstarstar (1895 words)

To all of you who've said Jarod (during the tv series) didn't frequently sweat/perform manual labor: this one's for you. The poor man. I almost feel sorry for him. He, however, rises to the occasion I think--- no, no, not that kind of rising; drag your minds out of the gutter.


Speaking of gutter—
