I've been reading this and emailed reviews but I just want to thank you again for keeping the characters alive. No one fleshes them out as well as you can and you've brought them into 2018 brilliantly. Stella shines. So do you Mirage. More please?
Author's Response:
There will be more. Thank you for reading and for the lovely review, Melinda.

Stella rules! I love her. She dazzles seriously and brings so much to these characters I know and love. How empowering that Miss Parker says she doesn't regret anything. But yeah, she's going to feel a little weird about sex with Jarod after that whole lifetime of not touching him thing that is really hard to ignore and she was trained not to touch him.... ummmm except to tie his hot a$$ up and take him back to the centre so yeah. I know you think Jarod is hot right? Winks. I'm kidding. He can be annoying I guess so yeah point to you Mirage. Did he say 'trust me' too many times? Or was the "believe me" thing? Trump does the 'believe" me thing so I can see the problem there. But you still know Jarod is a good guy right? Anyhoo You nailed all the complexities and still left Stella a sympathetic friend who has MP's back no matter what. Unconditional love... oh I love that. I wish there was more of that. MP calling Stella Boomer and the entire conversation.. hello kitty socks. I love all of it. You Rule.

Let me tell you why I love this.
You have Stella, a poc, a transwoman, a lesbian, and she loves Parker unconditionally, she loves Parker's children unconditionally, she validates Parker, she supports Parker WHILE also calling Parker out on any bullshit like "you knew he was Jarod when you had sex with him" while also being compassionate and sympathetic. She is the best friend I've never had and have always wanted. Stella and Parker found each other and connected because they were both the outcasts. Parker with children and no father and Stella a lesbian trans poc.
I think there's a real struggle for Parker to want to be who she was back when she was pretending to hate Jarod AND to still be worthy of Stella's friendship. I think Parker doesn't know who to be. You have done an outstandingly amazing job of displaying that identity crisis, the crisis of conscience.
You also have Parker being accountable, which shows enormous character growth on her part. She said it wasn't a mistake, wasn't an accident. Jarod danced her to the door. Parker recognizes all of that.
My favorite characters are all grown up and mature and I love that. I can't help but love the addition of Stella.
Please write more and please update all of your other novellas and works. You're amazingly talented, really gifted.
Thank you for keeping the dream and fandom alive!

Yay!! Parker did accept Jarod's invitation! I had hoped she would. I love the little evasive game she's playing. She doesn't give away anything except for that one little moment when she comforts him by touching his hand. Ooh!! Uh-uhhuh!! Mirage. You are the crack cocaine of fiction and I'm jonesing for another hit already. Hook a sista up.

Woot! That was a most righteous ass whooping Mirage.
Lyle is so Lyle, goading and encouraging Jarod but even Lyle seemed to dislike Mark. It's so weird agreeing with Lyle but when he's right he's right. Jarod is Jarod too. all of the characters are as they should be.
We have seen Jarod get violent before in the Ghosts from the past episode
He beats the crap out of Bartlet the racist. When he gets angry it is like a switch flips.
I can't wait for more. please soon?!

She's asking to Jarod to help her help Broots which I think caught Jarod by surprise. He's still in love with her I hope.
