Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1

It appears that the last sentence of the first paragraph has been truncated ("almost killed- " who?), but aside from that, I really enjoyed the Kyle/Jarod interaction. It's not a stretch at all for my mind to believe that Kyle is alive and well and living in Miami (and helping people just like big brother).

I love the idea of a secret communication between Kyle and Jarod via winks, etc. and also your explanation of the punch, which is plausible because Kyle aka Weston hits his own mother in an earlier episode for the same reason. Oh, I've wanted to see a Burn Notice / Pretender cross over for so long and even entertained the idea of writing one but you've done a much better job here than I ever could have so congratulations on a job well done and thank you for sharing.

Title: Chapter 3: Chapter 3

Ah, fantastic, Leonie! I'm so glad you wrote AND posted your fic. It was a great read and it read very fast. Ooh, you nailed Lyle- gorgeous but so bad, haha. And you actually made me feel a bit sorry for poor Jarod (something that rarely happens). Also, I believe that no pretender fic is complete without the inclusion of some Brootsie, so yay, you! My only other thought is: Where will you take us next? I want to know what Miss Parker will do now, how well she'll interact with Baby Parker, if she'll evade the Centre permanently, and- well, you get the idea.



Author's Response:

I'm so glad you liked it! I have already written 7 chapters in total, I'm gonna upload the next one today! I had it up on FF.com for some time now, but I like this page so much better^^
I don't know where it ends yet or even how long the story is going to be, but I will update regulary... or as regulary as a student can :)

By the way, I'm german, so please excuse any mistakes I made/will make!

Title: Chapter 7: Chapter 7

Very good, Leonie. I love that Miss Parker gets to be a dancer and how comfortable she is raising a child. She may carry a gun and act tough but we've seen how maternal she can be on the show. I'm very curious about where you're taking us. Will Jarod find her soon? Hmm? And then what?

I'm not familiar with FF.com- *looking at that website now in a different window and not liking it * I love this darker theme so I really hope you'll continue to post here.

I completely understand delays in updating. Please, don't apologize for any mistakes, I saw none; I don't even see my own mistakes. *smiles* I'm looking forward to the next chapters.



Author's Response:

Yeah, Fanfiction.net is not for everybody. It's huge and you can find stories to a lot of series, but through that it's also very unpersonal...

I have just one assignment left and then I'll continue writing. Just got my head full right now :)

I think when it comes to her brother (or her own kids) Miss Parker wouldn't have any problems being a good mom.

Title: Chapter 8: Chapter 8

I am thrilled that you haven't abandoned this story; I have missed it. And oooh, the plot thickens. What do I think? Well, Ithink you should write more, Leonie. And quickly. It's odd; I am unnaturally curious about Jarod (except when I'm writing about him haha) and his action/reactions (to the choices Parker has made) and that- - in of itself- - says something about your ability as an author- seriously, you've got that mysterious-Jarod-intrigue thing going on. *shudders* Nicely done.



Author's Response:

I have to thank you for your support, it really means a lot to me that so many people are reading this. One more is up now and I'm trying to write more this week :)

Even though Miss Parker has always been my favorite character, I love the whole bunch, so I will try to include all of them!

Post Ep for 'Til Death Do Us Part.  Jarod calls Miss Parker one more time, but she's been doing some thinking.  Game or not, she's tired of playing by his rules.  Now she's making up her own.

Title: Chapter 1: 'Til Death, She Could Wait

Lovely. Succinct. Very well done, a tattered rose.

I've echoed these same sentiments in conversations with online friends so you can imagine my reaction (*nods*) as I read this. Jarod stalks, harasses Parker and it's makes me very angry- angry for Parker, who doesn't seem to care that frankenrat is pulling the strings and manipulating her. And she never listens when I scream and toss socks at the tv.

In short, I loved it, especially the resounding "Silence." at the end. It's a shame this didn't happen on the show. Instead, Parker became more and more trusting when Jarod was really just as manipulative as the Centre ghouls. Ah, well.

I hope you will continue to share and that you will forgive this probably scattered, half baked review. When I unpack these boxes and feel oh..less out of sorts, I may add to the review. Thanks for sharing.

 



Author's Response:

Woohoo for avoiding EPIC!Fail (I have very low expectations of my own work.)

 

I'd poked around the fandom enough to know I'm not crazy and alone with those Parker/Jarod issues, which is very reassuring.  I don't think I'll ever be able to completely leave that vein.  I mean, he never even acknowledges that she failed to shoot him a few times, and called off the sweepers right after Kyle died the second time.  He just snarked her out in the Bank and waved her mother's letters around like a complete ass.   And she ignores it all.

 

Hope the boxes go well - I always find they carry the weight of impending something and the satisfaction of creating order, though the impending bit tends to win out.

Title: Chapter 6: Chapter 5

I finally found some time (courtesy of insomnia) to read and review this. I wanted to read this fic when I updated but I was swamped with insane RL stuff. I want you to know that I was not ignoring.

So! I'm loving it thus far. It's very fast paced. And I really like fast paced fics. You've given us the right amount of detail and it gives the story and the transitions between chapters a nice, very smooth flow.

Also, I think your Jarod is rather like-able. And any time Parker gets to hit Jarod (and in the face no less)- well, that is ALWAYS a plus.

And bonus points when she actually draws blood. In fact, you can have her hit him several more times if you want, haha.

On a more serious note: Don't stop here. The story is intriguing. A mole leaking info, Parker an Agent and Jarod taking an active role in bringing her back, etc..

I'm looking forward to reading the upcoming chapters.

 



Author's Response:

Thanks for reading and really appreciate nice review... :) 

Completely agree on part where Parker has a chance to smack Jarod (wink)... considering all the taunting, teasing, half truths and withdrawal of information...

Will try to keep up !

Mm, this is very well written, allfireburns, and obviously well thought out. It's Pretenderesque, has all the elements of an episode: the phone call, the surprise visit, dialog. The characters are well done. Indeed, it's all there. It's a perfect snapshot of a moment our favorite dysfunctional duo might share at some point and I enjoyed every word. I would love to read more from you. Thanks for sharing.

Mind Rain by missparker87
Rated: PG starstarstarstarhalf-star [Reviews - 19]
Summary:

UPDATED in 2023 for language correction and chapters distribution. Jarod asks Miss Parker to meet to finally get things straight between them. When they confess their love, they realize time has also come to destroy The Centre. It's the beginning of a journey that lead them to discover pieces of lost memories in a spiral mind rainSet after IOTH. Recommended for: MPJ Shippers - People fond of flashbacks. This is a story that begins where we left Miss Parker and Jarod. It's about memories and past, but also present, and future. I hope you enjoy it!

Title: Chapter 9: Chapter 9: Fatherhood

Very nicely done. Wow, I can just imagine the look on Jarod's face upon hearing the news. I'm eager to know what those two will do now that they know the truth. I anxiously await the next installment.

 



Author's Response:

Hey thanks for the nice comments Mirage!!! I'm very happy you're reading this. I'm actually over with this fic, even if I'm updating it more slowly because I had a beta-angel who's helping me with the translation! Anyway I'm going to put a few new chapters on line during the next days. It's getting more and more intriguing, and you're right. Jarod's face might have been priceless to see. And it's not over yet, the best (worst?!) is yet to come! Thanks for reading!

Title: Chapter 21: Chapter 21: Wake up

Lovely, MissParker. I'm still reading and very much enjoying. You know, this chapter wasn't sappy at all. It was perfect. They are so cute together and obviously have feelings for each other. Yes, together. Jarod's concern for her and the baby is sweet. He is just absolutely like-able when you write him.

 



Author's Response:

Mirage, your revies are so much appreciated... Well I know for a non-shipper this chapter might be too emotional, but I guess Parker's would be the only voice that would wake Jarod up. And you know how sweet he is, he always thinks about other people before than himself, so I guess the first things he would ask about would be Parker and the babies' condition... I love to see him as the sweet generous Pretender we all love...:)

Title: Chapter 22: Chapter 22: Zane's Harangue

Yes, of course, we like the story. It's good to see the pair engage in playful banter. I'd even say that they were flirting. Mhm, they were. Agent Zane tied loose ends up rather nicely I think. Again, I enjoyed Jarod's concern for his pregnant huntress. Well done, Miss Parker.



Author's Response:
I guess everything you said may be read here: 
 
“Your story was prepared in detail, Parker…we’ll teach you well before your deposition…I didn’t want the trial to spoil your pregnancy…”
“Since when do you worry about your huntress, boy genius?”
“I’ve always made this mistake, Miss Parker…”
Zane didn’t understand that banter, but when she saw them both smiling and sharing a tender gaze of affection, she realized they were joking on the basis of classic skirmished between lovers.
 
I loved to think about Zane as an intelligent woman, she let Jarod go at the end of tP 2001, so she is a good person. And yes. Mp and J were totally flirting ;) even after all they've been through I guess they would keep their attitude towards each other and would continue their strange expressions of the game that we all love! So to me they are TOGETHER but still having fun like in the past!
 
Once again thank you so much for your review!

Haha, "Yakuza boy"-  love it! You must continue with this; I have to read Jarod's reaction. In fact, I can not wait to read it haha. And how weird is that going to be for Parker? And for Jarod. And will he be married too? I'm so curious now and it's so odd; I'm usually not a fan of crossovers, can't even imagine how to begin to write one but this- this is fantastic, Leonie! I saw no mistakes, so please do not apologize, dear. Please ontinue. And quickly! ~M



Author's Response:

Thanks for reviewing, its always so rewarding to hear others opinions.

uhhh yeah, I've already written Jarod's reacion, just give me a day to reread it and I'll put it up!

I just couldn't resist when I saw Andrea Parker on DH... I had to change some facts about Jane, but Pretender side of the story is more important. I always wondered where Miss Parker would end up far down the road if it wasn't with Jarod.

Title: Chapter 3: Found

What do I think? I think you are doing a fine job and I hope and suggest you continue writing the story. Your way. As for a kick-*** MP? Well, Andrea herself said (in an interview) that we've seen "more vulnerability" over the years; we've seen her cry, shoot people, get sloshed, meltdown- it all depends on what life throws her. I find that your jeans and sweater Miss Parker works quite nicely- that's the great thing about writing this fandom: Parker can be tough, yes, but we know the walls can fall down.

Is there anything that would make the fic more interesting? I think it is interesting as-is. Besides, interesting is all a matter of opinion anyway. Go with your gut.



Author's Response:

OMG!  Mirage!  I am so not worthy!  Thank you for leaving a review!  I have been a long time admirer of your writing and stories (dark as some of them can be) often times reading with my eyes hiding behind my hands!  But I'm glad you see the potential in my writing.  I tend to be a pollyanna-esque writer.  So most of my stories will be sappy and syrupy with a kick-a** MP and less whiney!Jarod.  

This fic was my first effort so I wanted to test the waters a bit to see what would happen.  I never know what the fandom wants because it has not been as active as it once was.  And I agree that interesting is a matter of opinion for sure.  But I am one of those needy people that need to know that people like my fic *sad begging eyes*.  

But again, thank you so much!  I will definitely keep writing.  Now I just have to split time between two fandoms.

Well done. I love the exploration into the friendship (something the creators denied us), you did a good job detailing the foundation, providing us with some history. This is definitely one way it could've gone down.

And I completely agree with you: Thomas IS a great guy; of all the things Jarod has ever done, his putting Tommy and Parker in each other's path was my favorite.

 



Author's Response:

Thank you so much Mirage! I must say I was really glad to read your review, it was such a pleasure! Yep, I love that little detail the creators put inside the show. Maybe they thought it would go unnoticed, I don't know. I just think it was the sweetest thing J ever did for Parker...And then all I had to do was to write down the idea I had... Thanks for reading!

Oh, Faith, I love you for the strength and common sense you've given Zoe. I agree: she deserved an ending, one that does justice to her and you've given us that here. Thank you for sharing your talent and please, continue writing. The grammar was perfect. The fic was perfect. A definite 10!

Ah, Mirage! Always the right words to encourage me! I'm glad you liked this chapter (starting with a Zoe-centered chapter was kind of a challenge because I know she's not the most popular character!) I'll post Jarod's chapter soon and I'll try to write my multi-chapter fic (I have the general idea, some scenes are written but I'm spending a lot of time with my baby boy, so less time to write...)

Title: Chapter 1: Chapter 1: Missing Pieces . . . Missing Link

You're off to a great start, KS. Admittedly, I'm not the biggest fan of fics in which Parker has multiple babies underfoot but this is YOUR story and these ARE the circumstances.

She certainly seems miserable and I can't blame her. It's Miss Parker; she doesn't have to be alone. I'm wondering why she didn't tell Jarod about the children. I trust you will clarify in the coming chapters however. He's going to be so angry.



Author's Response:
