j'adore le caméléon!!
Part two of The Return series.
I'm in the minority in that I think Nia is the best choice for Jarod. Zoe is too much trouble and Rachel is promiscuous. I'm happy that he told the truth right away, he's Jarod and honorable. It was the right choice. This is again extremely well written. You continue to hold my short attention all the way through. I am reading your other fics but have disseratations and law study with my two jobs as well that occupies much of my time. I will review you. The chapters are short and read so fast but I understand that you probably have real life to juggle too. Thank you for sharing your musings with us.

As a former medical student I can say that you got it right. You are descriptive and precise, we know what they are doing and what they are feeling and I'm glad I'm not Parker. How terrifying that must be! You leave just enough to our imaginations when the occasion calls for it. This is plausible. Jarod has gone too far before taking a man's kidney without consent to suit his philosphosy and in his mind he has justified his actions with Parker. A child! Can we assume it is Parker's child too? Or Nia and Jarod's child but no that timeline wouldn't be right. I wait impatiently and faithfully for your next chapter.
Thank you, Archange. I hope you're liking this.

A crime scene, a chance meeting, two people transcending the lives chosen for them. Jarod POV. S.M.U.T.
Brilliant! I am no great fan of smut or cookies but I have to say that Transcendence is intriguing. Your writing is consistently exquisite Mirage, the plot is plausible, your original character was fleshed out and brought to life. I want to point out that you wrote Jarod in POV. You are a female but you conveyed textual tone, masculine tone and fleshed out Jarod. I'm glad that Jarod called her number on being a coward. I agree with twisted that you have skills and Steve and Craig would be lucky to have you on their team. I saw one typo "have should have" you meant to write only one have I think. Even with the typo it's perfect! We want more! !e want more!
Hi, Archange, and thank you for reading and reviewing and for pointing out that typo. There are two typos at least. The other is orbit (should have been orbits)- so, I'm an idiot. We knew that already. I'm no fan of smut either, or romance (cookie dough is pretty awesome though) or Jarod. Good news girls: there's more for him to go around. Yes, I am a female and have written smut in Parker's pov and it's- well, odd to write: "Jarod advanced on me" or "Jarod took my hand" or "Jarod and I" - where Jarod is concerned, I intend to leave me, myself and I out of it and especially when the genre is smut. Frankly, it's downright weird! I digress (don't I always?). It's a million lightyears from perfect but you are perfect for saying so. The muse is pleased and will write more. Not this fic, however. This is complete.
Reviewer: Archange Signed When you care enough to send the very best
Christmas like can be expected on the pretender. I love it.
Reviewer: Archange Signed Part IV
You don't disappoint. Welcome back. When I think I'll give up on this fandom you pull me back in. I love your writing, descriptions. You are the best. I can't wait for more!
Thank you, Archage, for reading, reviewing, and for the warm welcome back. This is the only series/fandom I've ever considered writing about; I know exactly what you mean when you speak (type) of the pull (it's relentless). The best? Ha. You can't mean that. I appreciate the thought just the same.
Reviewer: Archange SignedChapter 6 is amazing Mirage! Thank you Danke from bottom of my heart! It's very intense and better than watching the show. Your descriptions are wonderful. Please don't keep us waiting to long. Very sweet note about not hating Jarod or anyone else...we know how you mean you are nice for not naming names and respecting "Mr." as you call him. Tasteful.
Author's Response:
Thank you, Archange, for reading and reviewing. I won't leave you waiting too long, I hope. Well, no, I'm not sweet. I simply don't like using the names of the players. This is fic, it's about fictional people, not the players. Thanks again.
Reviewer: Archange Signed YESSSSSSSSSSSS! The story was overwhelmingly emotional in parts, but that ending knocked it out of the park Mirage. Did Parker just realize she's in love with Jarod or that Jarod is in love with her or both?!!! Please make it both!!! It's so inevitable. Can't you see that it's inevitable? I know you're not a shipper for them but they belong together!!! I think you don't hate Jarod or Michael...just wanted to put that into the universe. I think you like everyone well enough. You are always nice to me. But I hate that you are indifferent but in a way I'm glad I'm not reading how sexy and perfect Jarod is all the time ....or ever in your fics... because that's clearly most author's opinion when I read that in other authors' fic, and not the Miss Parker's, and I love that you don't let your own personal views interfere. BUt I want you to like Jarod and Michael...I don't know why. I read the other reviews and I do think that your opinion of him went up when you recently read the interview where he expresses liberal views and blasts the stupidity of an ex US President. I could tell by the way you came back and responded to the link to the interview transcript that someone wrote in your review and the way you wrote that he was right...you are hard to figure out. The mystery is cool though..you are fascninating. You are my favorite author. I wish you were writing the novels but I guess I'm glad your muse has total creative control. Your stories are better. Thanks for sharing your talent and if you want to answer me by email or don't want to answer some of these points, it's totally ok. I'm just fascinated and curious.
Reviewer: Archange Signed Full circle- with a twist
Short stories, full books, and poetry. There is nothing you can't do. I love your style and your crafting of the characters and plot. This was a difficult story that needed to be told and you do everything well. Dialog, plot, characters, descriptive work. Every facet of writing perfected. Intriguing as always Mirage.
Thanks, Archange. There's plenty that I can't do. Drawing- not even a straight line EVEN if I use a ruler. I'm serious. Writing- we should call it random scribblings. I'm no writer. I appreciate that you think I am, however.
Reviewer: Archange Signed At last!
Finally we get a happily ever after. You are brilliant...your dorothy parkor would be proud. We all have a sense of humour.
Thanks, Archange. No, no. Dorothy Parker (God rest her soul) would sling her laptop across the Algonquin (and probably kill dozens of other horrible writers who had the misfortune of being in the path of aforesaid slung aptop) if she read my so-called writing.
Reviewer: Archange Signed
Jarod is implicated in a spate of homicides.
I will miss this being updated but I am glad there are other of your works to read. My English Is not so good in writing. My friend is fluent and is not here to help me this time to write a review. I love this. Thank you for share your works.
Reviewer: Archange Signed Powerful writing Mirage. I had some problems with the web service and was so impatient to read your fiction. I am happy to see that you are still here and still writing for us. I'm blessed. Your hands are capable of shaping these stories to Pretender perfection. You convey Jarod's desperation, as well as Parker's resistance, and every aspect of these characters. You know these characters better than anyone. I understand that you always thank your readers for reading and reviewing. Now it's my turn to thank you for writing and updating. This is a must be 10! Please keep going.
Reviewer: Archange Signed I know I haven't been on for a while! I'm disappointed by the official Pretender novels and the re-do. I thought the Pretender was fine the way it was. I rejoice in my heart because Mirage hasn't changed. You get better and better in your craft. Terrific new chapter! I loved Rachel's reaction. That's exactly how she'd react and the way you talked about Jarod's transportataion...lol! You are an amazingly talented author. I love your descriptive work, the sky, the parking lot. I can SEE everything you write Mirage. Thanks for your sharing your talent with this fandom! It's a shame you aren't writing the novels. Please don't ever stop writing. You're the only reason I come here.
Thank you, Archange, for reading and reviewing. I hope you're enjoying it.
Reviewer: Archange Signed please please don't forget about this one
Author's Response:
I won't, Archange.
Reviewer: Archange SignedPez pancakes and spam omelets lol. Jarod WOULD do that. I love everything about your writing. Characters dialogue plotting descriptions all of it and the way they are and you have that certain thing that makes a writer a writer and damn you're amazing. I always love how you take something from the show and expand on it. Jarod's pez and spam love is just one example. Yes he would find a way to incorporate pez into everything else and I'm tempted to try them out so if you've got suggestions on how to make pez pancakes and spam omelets do let me know. I love pez. I love this story. More please? Oohh it has to be Jarod Miss Parker had sex with. Please!!!
For pezcakes I suggest a basic 'light and fluffy pancake' recipe (and maybe bear in mind that pez are godawful sweet; reduce or omit the amount of sweetener the recipe you choose demands).
You have the option of stirring pez dust into the batter for a 60s (or was it 70s?) (I wasn't alive back then so I can't say with certainty) tye-dye design. You can even design a cute rainbow pride pezcake. Or do both. Jarod probably would. Because he's scary and crazy and if he's returned to the Centre, then, by God, he's going to have a host of health and teeth issues (to keep his abandoment issues company) when he gets there.
Be certain to torment the people you feel most, ahem, "connected" to while preparing pezcakes. Feel the Jarod flow through you and embrace your inner sociopath; sociopaths, after all, need love, too (this isn't a Samantha Fox tune).
Amazing. I love your work. So intense and beautiful. I'm on the edge of my seat in fear here. You won't kill Miss Parker off? Please don't. I want them to all be safe and well. So much drama and suspense. I'm so scared! I thank you for keeping these characters I love so much alive over the years. You keep The Pretender and the dream alive.
I also thank you so much for your reply to my review with the pez pancakes and spamlettes... your recipes and comedy were GOLD. I laughed so much. I printed out what you typed and I look over it and laugh some more. I love your review replies. You're a beautiful soul and so sweet. I did what you said exactly and followed your instructions and added pez dust (not by crushing the pez under a car tire) I did it the Ocee way and I embraced my inner sociopath and smiled a lot like Jarod does. Thank you for everything.
Reviewer: Archange Signed I will miss this being updated but I am glad there are other of your works to read. My English Is not so good in writing. My friend is fluent and is not here to help me this time to write a review. I love this. Thank you for share your works.
Reviewer: Archange Signed I noticed no issues or typos. I'm too enthralled and impressed with the story and writing to notice. I hope you will always keep writing forever. It's such a treat. Thank you for sharing your talents with us.
I can assure you that there are typos, but you're rather kind. Too kind in fact. Thank you for reading and reviewing.
Reviewer: Archange Signed Reading you is always a breath of fresh air. That sweet scene of surrender where they are both exhuasted, tired of being dishonest and hurting. The needed something and leaned on each other and like they really leaned. I love it. I've never imagined a more perfect way for them to finally come together physically. They were so miserable and couldn't cope anymore and I love how they did it in silence. There were not many words spoken just his apology and I guess he was apologizing for thinking they were better apart and hurting her. They never needed words. But His tears omg. I love the way he loves her. You are so totally freaking amazing. I love you for writing this. This was the most beautiful physical sex scene I've ever seen or read. Amazing. Congrats. More please?
Reviewer: Archange Signed Love it all. I have many questions for you. How do you type using a phone? Are you using a phone?? Seems like it would be hard. What is your least fav thing about the Pretender?? Least favorite line from the series episodes?? least fav scenes? thank you if you can answer it's ok if you can't and thank you for writing. please never stop writing
Reviewer: Archange Signed A past transgression jeopardizes Sydney's life.
I wish of you to write more. foer us. Grand writing.
Reviewer: Archange Signed Magnifique!
You have a command of the stories and characters that is rare. You are the most gifted author! You have mastered the craft of writing and storytelling and always leave me amazed. I dare to ask for more.
Hi, Archange. Meh, no, I'm not the most gifted anything. I know I'm not supposed to argue with reviewers. I'm supposed to thank you and move on.
Thank you for reading and reviewing.
Reviewer: Archange Signed This is brilliant. You are a brilliant author with an amazing command of language and characters. Please post more soon.
