Exceptional writing. Top notch all the way Mirage. I want more. I can't believe Steve and Craig haven't snatched you away from us. Their loss.

Woot woot! Thank you Mirage. This is so relevant what Jarod has been through and just 2 weeks ago, Linkin Park, Taylor Swift. Having a pussygrabber in the oval office isn't helping anyone....it's the year of the rapist.I guess stories like this are always relevant. Your writing style and voice is super amazing. No one and I mean NO ONE writes these characters in the character the way the are on the tv show...which is what I want... Michael, Andrea, Patrick, Jon. Big thanks for keeping them real.

You rock sweetie. Keep rocking and keep writing. Thanks for updating and for sharing your talent with us. You are my favorite genius. Peace and love.

This is still as terrifying as I remember it being. Something about darkJarod always brings me back and there are no "Raine's forced drug experimentation" for Jarod to blame it all on.

This story needed to be written because people don't expect certain people to commit this crime. They don't expect the millionaire, the hollywood movie star, the former guy who actually bragged about because orange koolaid melts the brain. The don't exect the football star, the coach of the soccer team, the pastor, the priest, or even the sweet boy next door who was always helpful and who "never raped me."

You don't glorify it either. And most importantly, you don't have Parker begging him to come back. She wants nothing to do with him. She has to let him back in her life because of the forced spawn. You show how every domestic abuse situation spirals from there on. I've seen it happen. I recently witnessed something exactly like what you've written here. I work in a police department. This is why abortion needs to be legal, accessible, and free... everywhere and not just in Israel.

This can happen to someone even as strong as Parker pretends to be (we know she really isn't that strong).

People like sweet Jarod can do things like this to others.

It happens every day. I think you're raising awareness. I don't know if that was your intention. But it's a chilling story and it's plausible, and I think everyone should read it.

Thank you for writing this and writing it well.

The song that was interrupted had to be something by Air Supply only because Jarod joked about the band with the Junkie biker dude in one episode. I think a power ballad would be great and it is a "much older tune" so yeah def. Making love out of nothing at all or something.. "but I'm never gonna make it without you do you really wanna see me crawl" and then Jarod unplugs it. I love that we can decide. I love this fic too. I didn't see any of that coming and wow, to hook Kyle and Miss Parker up is so perfect. I'm glad he's alive. He was killed too soon, BOTH TIMES. If you have to kill him, do it way later please? Keep this coming. I love it. So vivid and beautiful. I can see my characters and look they just like Andrea and Michael.

OH my GOD to read how they kissed with their EYES OPENED!!!! Even if it happened only in Jarod's mind. OMG! It sounds like something they would do. I know why Jarod would. He has to be careful. If he's never made advances in the tv series there must be a reason. You keep it real. I'm glad SOMEONE still does. More please?

Damn. Just wow and damn. My mind is still going crazy. Mirage! I don't know how I didn't see this before! I'll say it again. You need to be writing the Pretender novels. You know these characters, you know their thoughts, fears and you write them and their voices better than anyone!

Now you know we could never hate you when you are so wonderful. Don't be modest. You've earned bragging rights.

"I won't be her-not even for you" "YOu never stopped being her" OH my swoony heart. For someone who isn't a fan of Jarod you sure know his every mood, look and speak. The story was perfect.

You aren't a JMP shipper? I think that is good. Not a fan of Jarod is also good.

You see the real Jarod I think... I think the fact that you aren't a Jarod fan is what gives you a unique outsider perspective. Where his huge fans see good looks and someone who is perfect you see what he really is and what he could become (a Lyle, Kyle or MP) and you haven't ever said anything about him being handsome in any of your fics. You are a realist.

Too it's like a beauty (MP) and the beast (Jarod) twist with you and when you were first writing Forces of Nature ....I was too scared to read it but back then I wondered if you could see Jarod as anything other than a monster. I thought that was what he was to you, that he was that skewed in your mind and that you really thought him a bad guy all the way.

I wanted to meet you back then to see if you were okay and not writing with a straightjacket on from a padded cell...I'm sorry but it is all true but back then no one had ever wrote him so evil..no one dared go there lol but you totally act more normal than anyone.

You were a radical pioneer. It was because it was new and different but now it's like "oh yeah that could really happen and Jarod could be just so bad if the conditions were right". Even the creators have said he is a sociopath! So there that is vindication for you.Not that you need it. You kept on doing your thing when many people would have stopped writing.

Now all this time later you have proven that you can see Jarod as many things you say he has the potential to be anything and I probably took FON the wrong way having not read it but I am going to read it. You see Jarod the way he really is and that's what is important. SOme writers change these characters to turn them into themselves or more like someone the writer knows and sometimes a character from a different show but you never do that.

You keep jarod the way he is suppose to be, the way he is when Michael T Weiss portrays him on The Pretender. I like to see and hear Michael. He is the Pretender for me.

I see you aren't comfortable writing Parker pov sex with Jarod because of the Me, myself and I that you have to write lol when you are writing Parker pov....but we know Parker's voice and we know that you don't mean YOU yourself with Jarod.. Lol Mirage so it's okay. You can transcend that. But would that even be a bad thing? I'd write Parker pove just for that, for me.

I wish you would get past that issue hangup because I wish you would write more Parker pov. Of course, you write Jarod pov true to his character but I like Parker pov because I am a female...and I know you are a female too but you are not or do not seem to be attracted at all to Jarod...and sometimes I still want to meet you and ask you why is that Mirage because HE is hot. Are you crazy or what? You're female, straight and young. You are the same race as Jarod and rumor is from the same country as Jarod too! You should like him! He is your kind.

You must have eye trouble. ;) That must be the score! Anyway I can hear him in this and I could hear Parker and I love this but I still want more Parker pov !!! Get past the hangup and write more Parker pov. You are still my favorite Pretender writer so please don't make us wait too long for more. If you could continue this that would be great Mirage. ((big hugs))

More Parker POV. Please. Sequel this with Parker POV. Let's get her side of the coin. Thank you for doing it and I know you will. :)

Ahhhhh. I alwasy visit this again and again. It's my favorite Christmas fic hands down of all time, all genre, fandom. Love it. I'd like a sequaal.

Intriguing as always Mirage. You reel us from the first word  and don't let go until you are done and you are not done yet! You can't be. Stay and write some more. By now you should know you are an amazing author and I saw no typos. I think you should be writing with PretenderSteve and Craig if you want the truth of the matter plain and simple. It must be hard to keep interest and to write the characters in character and you both exceptionally well. 

Thank you for this pretender fix, for continuing to share you incredible talent with us. I don't  know what I'd do without you. I'd probably watch reruns of house or something. Nowhere else can I get my pretender fix except from you and my old pretender dvds. Please give me more. I will beg you. I will pay you. Whipped cream and strawberries on top!

Mirage Mirage Mirage. You keep getting better and better. I love this story. The best return if you know what I mean, and way better than reading the re-something else I spent money on that you didn't write but that you should write. You make it all so real and beautiful. Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

There are no words. It's so face paced and action packed. I love it and I want more. Now. I read all 5 chapters and I neeed more. Please.

MORE! I wish you were writing the Pretender novels. DOH! That is a no brainer! You are the most awesomeest!

Aww Cate. I love Cate so much. I can just see the eagerness popping off her. I can easily see you with children. You capture them and everyone else so well. She wanted to walk barefoot through them all > like the geese. That song. Oh wow. Amazing. You're damn good. Ok but I'm concerned about Parker. Did she just come on to Jarod to distract him? And what? That is so out of character for you. Parker wanting Jarod is unusual for you so Im suspicious. It is fast. Xander just left her. I know you will explain everything. I just want you to do it last week lol. If you can go back in time.. while you're there, undo the election crap. I have a disabled niece and I'm so pissed that the SOB mocked a disabled person. Can Jarod please kill Whitman? I love this Broots. You do right by all the characters and the series. Thank you so much. Please give us more.

SO good of Major Charles to kindly put Parker in her place so to speak and give her some perspective. There were times he didn't know if his family was alive and she has hers together. Thank you for showing that she is still selfish in ways and childish. I know she's also got some problems to work out but she can do that safely and has help with Cate with no pressure from Jarod. It's a gift and she doesn't realize that. Always in character. Please keep going. You're one of the very very rare and too few truly talented authors who can write a plausible story and keep the characters in character without losing my interest who actually finishes their stories. You are the best of both worlds. Don's stop here please!! You are my favorite!!!
