First rate writing. People leave each other but the love doesn't always leave too and in these circumstances this makes total sense to me. Parker didn't walk away because she didn't love Jarod. Jarod didn't stay away and respect her wishes because he didn't love Parker. Love can mean giving a person distance too. Thought-provoking work as usual and always incredibly profound.

Top notch Mate! You're an amazing story teller and author. Nice name that Willow. I read that the Bidens just adopted a cat called Willow today and I reckon it's not a coincidence cos don't most Americans read fanfic hehee? Even respected world leaders read here and are inspired to name their pets after characters here.

Oh my godesses I can't even right now but I will anyway. Mirage, I love the way she told him, the way he didn't pick up on what she was saying like he also didn't realize he was shouting I love you at her. He's still dealing with so much and almost lost Sydney and Sydney's the reason he nearly killed Lyle and I think Jarod is experiencing a crisis and I love it. He's so used to knowing everything and how everything will go and being in control of everything and all of the consequences and now this has challenged everything he thought he knew. I love it. It's so plausible, too. I love how you challenge everything, too, and keep me riveted on the story. It's amazing. More, please?

This is beautiful. What I love most about your stories is how much soul and heart they have in them. It's so sad when a series has no soul and what I loved most about the tv series is all of the soul and heart in the episodes and characters. It's the same feeling when I read you Mirage. Thank you.

Exquisite, Mirage. This story is tight and still has the same tight grip that attracted me to it. I love how well this is written, how sharp the characterisations are, and all of the usual pro author attractions. More than those things I love your knack for subverting tropes and societal expectations, the way you take your pen-sword to the social norms, these psychological deep dive studies into the human mind. You show no fear when you explore mental illness and you excel in the creation and character development of your own original characters as well as the ones we already know. Parker tapped Jarod's foul toss out of the entire park by shutting down what we've seen him do on our screen too many times. He helped Kyle, Ethan, and has excused his own crimes but wants to hold Lyle to different standards. He does play favorites. She's one of his most favorites. Falling in love with her has made it possible for him to excuse so many bad things she's done. I think he's his own most favorite though, and I love Jarod, so, this is coming from me, ultra fangirl. I'd still hit that. Please continue when you can. Thank you for all you've already shared with us.
Author's Response:
Aw, thanks for the rather generous review. Please lower your expectations. Lower. Lower. A little lower. Seriously, thank you for reading and reviewing.

Holy wows. Willow is amazing 🤩 . I love how sweet she is with Jarod and wise too. Lyle is lots like my cousin during mania phases of bipolar, it was really hard to deal with him. Jarods dislike of Lyle is so on poin and I like how you cover so much so well with seemless transition. This is so addictive. Please post more soon and please please update your other stories too.
Author's Response:
Aw, thanks. I think I like the character, too.
Oh, my thoughts are with your cousin. I've never been diagnosed with anything (seasonal depression is over in the corner mocking me right now "wait until November, bitch"), but it's a lot more difficult, I imagine, to experience and struggle with those sorts of illnesses.
Um, well, yeah, Jarod doesn't like Lyle, and probably never will. He will simply have to tolerate him maybe. I will post more. Thank you for reading and reviewing.

Aces Mirage! My ex girlfriend is a huge Michael T. Weiss fan and she got me hooked on the show and broke my heart. I think she left me to pursue a crush on him... but I still love the dvds of the pretender and I've been reading you for many years. You've written another page turner. I wish you'd update more often and write many more novels. You've got the characters down and I can see and hear them when I read you. How do you always write something original I don't know but I hope you keep writing and sharing your talent with us.

Well, that's not fun. You seem to be reacting appropriately, staying cool-headed- good vibes etc. Keep doing that.

Fabulous work as always Mirage. You keep the pages turning for me and I could repeat myself and talk about the perfect characterisations and transitions and all of that brilliance but I know you know what you're doing. Keep doing it. I'm hooked hard.
You still haven't got that selfie with Michael T. Weiss? Have you met him? I think you have and you are holding out. You could update his on how he's doing if you have met him recently jus sayn. I read your response to my reviews. I'm glad I don't bother you by talking about him and it's true what you wrote that it's a testement to him and his ways that I want you to meet him and that I can't shut up about him. Have you seen him lately omg!?! he looks so much older and so much different and still really totally good looking but with gray beard and gray hair and doesn't even look like Jarod much anymore.. and do you like that more or less? I know you once said you didn't like Jarod all that much, his duplicity or something and all. I'm just really curious. I'm glad you're not freaked out by him and all. and all. So yeah. keep writing.
Love you and your work. MORE!! NOW!!!

I love MP's gouge about Jarod liking to watch. I didn't catch that one the first 10 times I read this. I love your writing. You know these characters too well I think. MOre please? Can they please have sex finally? I know they had some oral sex in the past but I want them to have real sex. I know there are other stories you've written with them having sex and you had to hold your nose and just write it anyway tho you didn't want to but I want them to have sex in this universe too. Please.
Author's Response:
Well-- mm, oral sex is real sex. They might engage in intercourse eventually ugh. I hate writing that stuff- er, technically it's the vivid imagination aspect of writing intercourse that I dread. We shall see what happens maybe. Thanks for reading and reviewing, Felicia.
