*can't stop reading.

I'm drunk on brilliant grammar and still in this storyverse/not back in reality yet.

Woot! You make my month! More?

If this is going the way I hope it's going I'm going to love it more than I already do. Glad Jarod is alive. He's annoying sure but come on? Annoying is better than dead. I'm loving every word. You should be writing the Pretender novels. I'll say it again. It can't be said enough. I noticed she called him "Agent" and she did that in Nemesis too. You said it was to emotionally disconnect herself and she's doing it again huh? That has to hurt. I love Jarod's apology all the same. He's too sweet sometimes. Longer chapters would be perfect. This goes so fast. I love that there's another chapter waiting for me after this one. :) So happy. Thank you.

Oh Jarod getting called out on his charm and pretending skills. Hell yas Miss Parker. I love this. Damn you always make her realistically strong like she was on my dvds and damn straight she'll be all like 'no fucking way am I having a baby conceived by coercion like mom..even if it is jesus the chosen one's' Way to go Mirage. THe ending here... he always seems to eventually find a way to reason with her.. .she tacitly agrees and doesn't go out and seems to see that he's not so beyond reason himself. I love it. You write them perfectly. More soon. 

That's my favourite Chopin piece and it's so orgasmic and so fitting for Jarod. I love how you modernize my favourite series and my favourite characters. You write them HOW they are and I can see them and I love it. Please keep keeping them alive for me. You're everything Mirage. This is everything. I love you bunches.

I'm actually glad Miss Parker had an abortion. I used to be antichoice/ govt. control but I was brainwashed in a cult ...religion... if that makes sense..but now I know better.

They haz the sex omg.  love it! need more!

so if there was one thing you could ask Michael t Weiss what would it be?

And have you ever noticed their exchange in wake up episode when they are at the bar...and just before she says "have a drink with me" they share this weird look with each other and he just looks so odd that I'm still trying to figure out what that meant? He looks so different during that shot....do you know what I mean? any insights?

please keep writing. i love your writing

Dark. So so dark and canon. Can I say how spot on perfect the characters are all written and fleshed out? You are the master. Your original characters fit with the ones we know. They are well developed and real enough to touch.

I had a shiver of excitement when Jarod entered and quickly subdued Lyle and resuscitated Miss Parker. Jarod vomiting and losing time was a stroke of genius. I think Jarod would be physically ill after seeing Sydney dead and after seeing what Lyle did to those woman. Jarod feels things deeply and takes this personal. He would blame himself for Sydney's death and everything that Lyle has done because he's the one that bought this Miss Parker's attention.

While you wrote this respectfully and we didn't "SEE" the rape you did something else that...wow. All I could say for half an hour was "Oh my god Oh my god."I still have chill bumps all over me. I haven't felt this emotionally upset by literature since reading Circles of Hell.

What you did began before Parker went back inside for the second woman. The way you talked about now and experiencing the future.. future "nows" and still having a foot in "then" you are saying it doesn't end really and rape isn't something people ever completely get over. There will always be the memory and no matter what the violation happened and nothing will change it. You said it all without saying the word rape. We know what happened without you describing it.

I was reminded of Circles Of Hell and Miss Parker trying to clean herself inside and outside. No one else writes about rape this way. No one else wants to tell the dirty truth. The truth is hard and sick. It can't be easy to write it.

You did that same thing again through Broots at the end, how a person would be changed forever after that. You make it so real and it's terrifying. It's amazing writing and it's disturbing because it's real.. it's so raw. It makes me worry about you. You go way deep... like you go to some other dimension.. a really dark and scary one. This is why you're my favorite author. So congrats on this and thank you for not writing rape like it's a little speed bump that can be forgiven. There's no driving on and forgetting. Thanks for giving us this haunting and scary missing piece of the Pretender puzzle.

WOOT! My namesake and Jarod are throwing the stabby words at each other, both are scared, Parker's got some guilt, Jarod feels she's betraying him. Those kids! They're all in character! Lordt!

I was afraid you were going have her help him escape, or they were gong to escape together, or he was going to escape alone. They can do any of those later but there's gotta be some Centre creaminess mixed into the yummy blend of dark roasted darkness you're brewing for us. Thank you for doing the hard thing.

I was worried that you had left us for another fandom. Please don't leave us. Write more. Update everything. I could read you all the time 22/7. I love this tv series and you keep it alive. Don't ever stop. I'm forever grateful to you.

I can read this over and over. You say so much with so few words.

Heeyy!! I thought you were gonna gloss over my review of Lucanua but yay you !!!You really answered and still didn't answer 😂 but I understand what you mean and why you wouldn't want to get up in his face and some fans are rude and entitled. Very well articulated and I love reading your thoughts too and everything you write. You'd be so cool to hang with ...you just vibe with everyone.

I love this chapter.  Jarod should have beat that bastard's arse!

I can't wait to read what happens now!!

More. Miss Parker commands it. Love this!

Ohh uh-huh I love it. You do justice to my namesake... and to my tormentor. Thanks for entertaining me. What would I do without you to keep them all alive?
