A lot of !s???!!! You haven't checked your spam folder probably.. I've screamed and have offered to pay you already...hundreds of times to continue this. Lol I'm so glad you continued and I'm sorry it's ended but it didn't end really ..it just began. I love it. I will still give you money if you tell me where to send it ??!!
I love how Parker has moved on and has killed the bad people!
It's Miss "god forgives I don't" Parker so it's fitting she would approach trauma differently than Jarod
I live that three are together again as should be .. a beautiful beginning...I already want a sequel!
Thank you so much for writing and sharing!

This is THE BEST!
I love it so much.
You really capture the friendship those 3 share and I love love love that Angelo knows Parker cares for and loves him so when she tells him to be careful, drink water, and eat. Oh God I love the growth and that Angelo loves a file room.... Isn't that just Angelo? To love a file room?
Oh the nostalgia is real. Brilliant work, Mirage.
I want to say I hope you're doing well, you haven't updated us lately on your personal life.. and I know you only shared that with us because we kept wondering where you were we do all really care.....caretaking for your significant person.. you're so young to be dealing with so much pain and potential loss. I know it is so hard. I hope you have a wide support system. Do you? I'd feel better knowing you do. I'm glad you have The Pretender fanfic to give you something to do at his bedside.. you're so young. You have us. You definitely have me to lean on.
If you need anything or a sympathetic ear I am here.
Thank you for writing and for sharing.
Take care of yourself m'dear.

Stunning work, so touching and moving. I love the closure in this and that the childhood friends found each other again and are together and happy.
This might be my new favorite.
I love it. They all have a second chance somewhere nicer to start all over.

Hey, there you are!
I love this simple beautiful life for Angelo where he can be who he is and still be safe and that's definitely Mexico! I've been in the city Valloladid and it's special. There aren't many touristy attractions there, and the pace of life is so nice and laid back, there is no crime there, and the residents are so friendly.
I love that Parker is reconciling with her past actions and accepting responsibility. This character growth is what I wanted for her during the tv series run.
This was an important step.
I have a feeling Jarod will be joining Angelo and Parker. So touching that they are all back together again and finds out peace

Ahh goddesses..
I love how Jarod leans in to tell Parker it's okay if she doesn't know how to feel and omg Angelo!
"Friend's journey back to herself almost complete" oh so much love. I grew up watching this series every day after school and omg you nail it.
I love this !
Thank you to moon and freaking back!

I love that the three of them have returned to their childhoods..so e big time nostalgia pretend feels here.
I feel like weeping. There's joy and beauty. There is love and friendship.
I've always wanted those three to find each other and leave the hell behind.
They have here
Mirage you've made a grown man cry.
I'm thankful for it too

Miss Parker bringing home the truth with some friendly snarky. I love that she called the centre a shit hole tehehee awesome.
I can see them standing there looking at the light and then turning to see where Parker was and if she was ok. You captured them and their childhood and it's like time didn't change them here. I live that the friends are reunited in a better place with real freedom. I love that Angelo and Parker have a simple and satisfying life and I think Jarod is sold on staying too now. A happy beginning. 🥰🥰🥰🥰 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗 🤗 thank you so much for this it's my new favorite story.

Woot, I've been waiting for this for years and I'm thrilled that it was all worth the wait.
Angelo finding Parker, going to be with the friend who has been hurt the worst in recent times instead of Jarod who doesn't have PTSD. Angelo always seemed to go where he is needed most on the TV show and as long time fan and addict of all things TP I appreciate and love your eye for detail, nuance, and characterisations.
I love that the friends found each other again. Beautiful. This really is magical Mirage.
Thank you for writing

Oh my god! First, don't apologize and you are not incompetent. 😚
Second oh my god I love this story. The gang's all back together again!
Angelo, Jarod, and Parker regained their childhood friendship and childhoods too maybe at least somewhat! That is the amazing and us what parker , the hero of this story, is thinking.
This is so heartwarming! It's so genius to have them off on adventure the three of them like old times. I have tears in my eyes! Oh, I love angelo. I know you do too. I still remember one of my favorites of yours 'In Color' where he sees colors!
I'm so upset that this has ended but what a brilliant ending and really a beginning for them!
Resolution to all the problems. I love it. Thank you for this final missing piece. So on point!

OMG! So amazing Mirage. I love your writing. The way you bring them in gahhhh I'm envious. She puts her hands on the table kind of aggravated and Jarod just covers her hands... so simple and so beautiful. I need more. I got some questions about The Pretender in general if you can asnwer them.. like why did Jarod run if he was a genius and could have exposed the Centre? I already emailed you but no response yet. Please. Or check your email..

Please say it's not all there is to this. I could go on reading this for hundreds of chapters. I want more and more. It's nice to see Jarod a little behind the curve and not sure of himself. It's more realistic and fitting with what's happened. more please if I have the right to ask?

Ah- well, there won't be hundreds of chapters. There will at least be one more. Thank you for reading and your lovely reviews.

Jarod is like a jack hammer that won't stop hammering away at Miss Parker. He was like that on the show. Insistent and passionate. You didn't change him. I can almost sympathetize with how exposed she must feel around him and how he doesn't quit until he gets at the true heart of the matter. Him issuing the challenge "you can't kill the little girl unless you kill me" and her response that it isn't fair. I saw someone say your writing is emotional and I didn't know what that meant until I got all the way to this chapter and all your words crushed me. The characters are emotional so writing about them must be emotional. I feel sparks of this or that and fury when Miss Parker is talking about videos those traffickers made her watch. There was anticipation when Miss Parker felt Jarod nearby and some laughter when she called him an asshat. When the writing is well done it is emotional. I can feel Jarod's confusion about everything too not knowing why he feels or what she has done to him but really Jarod has done all of this to himself and Miss Parker invites him to do more. I hope this isn't the end yet. If it is thank you for sharing your gifts with us. I have thoroughly loved this story and won't forget it. It meas so much that the series is still living here in this corner of the internet. Thank you.

Kirkland took a weird cocktail of drugs and alcohol. He's stressed and seems genuinely concerned. You assure us he's the good guy in this and I thank you for that. The Italian island is beautiful. Your descriptive work is spot on. I can tell you're a traveler. Justice is hard to find. The world is darker than ever now. I like how Jarod wanted to let the death go and then couldn't. I like that Jarod took care of her, that Parker chose to go to him. The writing continues to be consistently brilliant.
Author's Response:
Kirkland is one of the good guys. No, I actually haven't traveled extensively and haven't traveled at all in quite some time. I love earthlings, their cultures, languages, beautiful places, new experiences (who doesn't?) but I sorta feel guilty if I can't reach the desired destination on foot or by bike. And it sucks so hard that all of the places I most want to see can only be reached by plane. The world isn't all that dark; certain people in the world, however--
Thanks for reading and reviewing.

Miss Parker tries to lighten the mood. Jarod doesn't seem convinced. I don't blame him. The realization that comes for Jarod when he discovers what we've all known since season one when she shot the envelope instead of him. He WOULD be rotting in a Triumvirate prison if she'd ever really wanted to capture him. It was immersing the way you took us into that trunk with Miss Parker. We get insight into Jarod's simulations. Stunning work Mirage. The end scene brought a new tear to my eye. No one can stop her. Not even Jarod. I'm glad he laid his soul out to her.

Nothing could be gut wrenching that reading Miss Parker is dead. You had me worried but you redeemed yourself quickly. Jarod didn't give up. You took us on an international journey and gave us a snapshot of the culture. I have cardomom on the grocery list. I'll be treating my wife to a recipe I found after reading this earlier. I wasn't as offput by the intimacy as I thought I'd be. They had respectable, tasteful relations. I think it was time.
