Fire at will? lol. This is so awesome girl. I thought one thing but then something else happened. This is light and humorous. I'd like to read more. Just sayin.

I remember this gem fondly. It's a conclusion that isn't. I read both chapters and I would like to know how these two crazy people are doing together.

"Sorry, Jarod, no refunds. It's the Centre after all, not some over sized, monopolizing giant of a store. There were no customer service representatives waiting with artificial smiles to apologize for Jarod's unsatisfactory experiences." Perfect.

I don't know what to say. I can barely breathe. Mirage. The writing was mind  blowing. It's brilliant. It's amazing! You always blow me away. I don't know what I did to deserve a writer of your caliber writing my favorite tv series and writing these characters I've grown to love the way they were on tv but I did something right! I hope you'll stay. I know you can better, write novels like a mad woman, write circles around everyone else. I'm greedy. I want you to keep contributing here. This fandom needs it. You are the reason I come here. The reason I'm still a fan of this series. You keep me coming back. Please don't leave. ONe more request***** Please don't let Parker die. Let Jarod work on her. You know he can save her. He has to! I will beg.

I was reading the reviews just now and your responses. You said the tension seems mostly Jarod-generated but doesn't that mean Michael T. Weiss generated? Or do you separate the two? I get so curious sometimes. You don't have to answer. I study sociologoy and anthropology. I asked uncomfortable questions. I'm awkward. :)

I'm going to properly review this but now I just want to give props for this chapter. Girlfriend, you don't like Jarod? Most people can see he's sexy. I wonder if you sense what you're dealing with here in him or if you feel nothing because I'm like Michael's costar was on Jeffrey always like 'oh my god there HE is', mouth hanging open and in awe and I'm curious how you react. You've actually seen Michael in real life. Were you like 'omg'? Did you stop and stare, feel anything? Please tell me you didn't throw up? lol  Did you realize at the time that many women would have traded places with you and probably asked him to bed? Did sex cross your mind at all?!! lol Once in a lifetime opportunity Mirage. You could have claimed it was research for your fiction? Think about it?! Not that you need to research. You nailed it honey. Anyhoo! Very profound the way you illustrated his similarities to the Triumvirate and his ability to split himself ie be concerned for Parker's feelings while preying on her feelings. He's a gorgeous pyschopath, inn't he?! You reveal his darkness without a physical action ie he doesn't have to be physically or sexually abusive not that I'd have a problem reading abuse. It's been a while since Circles and Forces. Just putting that out there. Your wording showed tact. There are too many quotables to mention. Thank you for continuing to write Mirage. Thank you a million babes. Welcome back!

The PERFECT pretender xmas tale.  Sequel? Jarod's going to know she killed Raines and he's going to have questions. Please make it so Queen!!

You will never know how much respect I have for you as an author and woman. ..and a Pretender fan. You kept the fandom alive and you still breathe life into it. Thank you Mirage for this and every chapter. What a proud accomplishment and an amazing contribution to a fandom in real and true urgent need of good material to read! Hugs!

Something? Girl are you kidding? This is EVERYTHING. Very exquisitely done too. I've read a lot of these, been here for a long time. There's nothing better than this. Imma need a cold shower now. Thank you for giving me what I will probably never live to see happen. Now I have seen it. I googled condos using your descriptions,

It's so perfect. They came together so beautifully. I hear their voices when I read you Mirage. I hear Michael and Andrea and Jon and all of them. Thank you. Thank you so much.

It keeps getting better and beter and I keep wanting more and more. It's so addicting. I would like to suggest fan art or screen shots from the series.. not just on the cover of the story but in chapters and all through the story. Don't get me wrong. You write visually and illustrate with words but I also like to see Jarod. I'm too big of a fan of his and too big a fan of your writing. I'll go away now. Sorry.

Yah! I knew from the first sentence that this was going to be one of the best chapters I've ever read You didn't disappoint me. I'm a parent and I know how hard it is and I won't shame Jarod and Parker for not wanting a child. I'm so glad they found this refuge even if the sofa they're having sex on is hideous. Misfits is appropriate. I thank you with all of my heart for doing justice to these characters who are really like family.  This was really special Mirage but no it wasn't sappy or cheesy. They needed each other. Ahh. My heart. It doesn't matter if you're a shipper. I'm thrilled that you're keeping them alive. Please don't let them die.

This is terrifying Mirage I just want you to know. It's brilliantly written. You are wordsmith and an amazing storyteller and narrator. You know the characters and where to put them and how to use them. You do it all wonderfully and describe it and make it all plausible .... and omg I love it but omg that is why it's so terrifying and I want more. Is Sydney going to live? I know you love Sydney. I hope Jarod will come to his *@!&ing senses and help Parker find Sydney before it's too late. My adrenaline is like... boom. More. Soon. OMG.

Aww Mirage. You illustrate with words. I love it. Please don't stop.

Mirage you have made my week. So much to love and so perfect. More please?
