"Mm more like reamed my ass" keeps echoing in Parker's trademark snark 😂... I love it lol 😂 I read that in her voice. I hear them say these things 🫨 🫨
Sydney was hard on her and the way Jarod sympathizes....ahhh beautiful ❤️ I shuddered 🫨 🫨 when Jarod whispered "I'm sorry" into Parker's hair, behind her, omfg Mirage... it's the tiniest things that can be so powerful when written a certain way and you dear have that special magical ✨🪄 certain way.
Delicious 😋 🤤 I'm craving more.

Oh, man, the way Parker knows that Jarod knows, and the way Jarod was acting all innocent like he doesn't know. He was asking to see her because he was trying to help her, without sedating her. It doesn't justify his actions but... this is so like an episode of The Pretender. I can't justify Jarod's actions but I can understand them but also Parker has a right to make her own decision but also theose decisons were going to get her killed but also... life's more complicated than the black and white I guess. You capture that perfectly and The Pretender. Don't stop here please. I love this.

LOVE this. "Indifferent peahen" omg I remember there was a little peacock walking around when Parker, Syd, and Broots were in the hybrid tracts so lol I love this.I'm giggling all over myself. Your descriptive work is amazing. I can tell exactly where Parker is and I was so hoping Jarod would join her.
She was in a SKIRT. Ok I'm imagining those short little skirts she wears and button up blouses. Jarod is behind her, holding her, while she's in a SKIRT. My brain is exploding Mirage. Jarod is all decked out to the nines in a damn suit like all of the upper corporate employees wear, like Lyle right, and hoding Parker who is wearing a SKIRT. But he's behind her holding her. OMFG!
You weaved their clothing choices into this reallly subtly and thought I woudldn't notice didnt you didn't you DIDN'T YOU? Her skirt slit is even longer now that she torn it so she's basically not experiencing the comfort of all fabric between herself and Jarod.
Jarod's "I'm Sorry" and her real name whispered in her hair while he's holding her with one arm, and withdrawing a needle SLAYED me. I am shook Mirage. I am shivering Mirage. Shivering.
I demand more.

Hello there dear, this is spectacular. They do teach to drop straight down and all of the attackers either grab the victim over both arms or either under both arms. They don't advise when the attacker has one arm over the victim's arm and the other arm under the victim's arm.
Jarod would know how to counter the defenses and shut it down and not let his prey escape. Fortunetly for Praker he's on her side. It was hard to watch.. or read.. I actually see what you write as I read so it's like watching. It was hard to watch her fight to escape, to feel so frustrated and defeated and trapped. Jarod knows how that feels. You wrote that and I'm glad you included that. You show that Jarod isn't doing anything that hasn't been done to him. He even taught Sam to feel that way, to feel the same way he felt so that he could succeed in trapping Parker.
I almost expected some comedy in this but it never turned to comedy. Jarod's "I will" [let her go} "when you lose consciousness" is really sincere and he's trying to assure her that he will obey. You lean into that seriousness. They were the most painful moments already . Doubt clawing his mind the way she clawed at his flesh.
I've never seen something like this written out so eloquently. It does seem graphic but nothing obscene happens. It's just Jarod bieng Jarod only this time he's being Jarod with Parker and I think I understand how difficult it is to write something like this. I know what you mean with your warnings. I appreciate your sincerity.
I feel excitement now, like I'm waiting for the next episode of The Pretender.
Please update when you can. Until next time Mirage,
Ciao!

OH MY GOD. Jarod whispering that he's sorry and whispering HER NAME in her hair as he's withdrawing the needle and putting his arms around her. Hot. I get that it's happening all at once. He's probably stopping her from hitting the needle he just removed and then really quickly putting the other arm around her. He waited until her back was to him.
He couldn't do it while looking at her, while she looked at him. No, he couldn't. He couldn't even stand to see her break down in that cemetary on the first year anniversary of Thomas's death. He had to run then. He didn't want to do this to her. Oohhh but he had to do it to save her. Man I can't get enough. He probably practiced injecting to see how well he could do it without her feeling it. Ooh I love this.
I can see and hear it all happening. Please keep going.

Major Oomphs Mirage!
I was like Jarod's being kind of weird. He's kind of tearful and agitated and also sympatheitic and the dialog just seemed he was being sort of indecisive and maybe even fearful. Yeah and that was brilliant of you to show all of that and make me wonder.
It's all clear now. He was planning to sedate her the entire time. I think he was hoping he could get her to come along with him willingly. He was putting it off, trying to get an opening, fighting off second thoughts.
Love love LOVE Parker's internal dialog throughout all of this too.
"or his apology not fucking accepted" lol that is SO her.
Oooh and this

Oh God I get so tingly knowing that he is dressed in a suit and she is dressed in one of those skirts, both in corporate clothes...oohhhh.
And he whispers her name into her hair and says sorry as he holds her and injects her...omg so arousing and he is so tender with her.. she doesn't feel the injection.
I need more. Please omg write faster.
Reviewer: Jen Signed [Report This]Date: 18/02/26 08:11 am
Ohhhh I'm beaming, my heart soars, all the pretender feels are hitting hard.
Jarod's, "yes, well, that's never exactly..." oh, god, I can hear Michael T. Weiss when you write Jarod.
Parker's, "and just how exactly do you propose..." oh man, I can hear Andrea when you write Miss Parker.
I can hear all of the characters when you write them. How the hell do you work such magic? It's like you study them or just.. you just really know them.
It all just clicks, all the gears are gearing...Mirage. Funny that I don't know YOUR name either, not the first or last name. You're really a fan of the series, aren't you?
oh god.
Jarod's dark. I didn't always want to admit that either. Violated a man's autonomy, even if the man is a prisoner, is a felony and it's wrong. And doing it in a motel is even worse. It's so like rape. That prisoner was in prison serving his time. He didn't even know he had a kid. That woman he had a kid with knew she was pregnant and lied to her husband for YEARS. But she comes out smelling like roses.
That was wrong of Jarod. I see that now. Jarod's really dark. He's scarily dark. You were right along. But you still like Jarod a little bit don't you? I've read your replies to reviews. Do tell please.
And hurry up and write more. Please?
Reviewer: Sydney Signed [Report This]Date: 18/02/26 04:43 am
Stunning work Mirage.
Jarod is always some amount of dark, but he has good intentions or at least I hope and it's obvious he's pretty torn up about having to hold her against her wishes this way. I can feel how excrutiating it is for both of them. She's gone completely wild trying to escape, completely stopped being in control and is underrstandably in full panic mode. She doesn't beg or plead. I think she knows that would be futile too.
Jarod's tearful about the entire thing, and both craves Sydney's assurances and is still angry with Sydney about the past also understandably so.
I love this and I crave more already and I just really can't imagine what will happen next. I hope to find out soon.
Reviewer: Kat Signed [Report This]Date: 18/02/26 02:21 am
The continuity is important. Jarod recalls the bunnies..we know it's painful memory. He did self harm with a Christmas ornament on the episode not even a mouse after watching that DsA and stopping it on the part where she runs away. he had to be thinking what might have been if there had been no interrupting.
You show him struggling with his decision, the emotional part of it and I love that. We don't get to see what all effort goes into all aspects of preparation on the tv series.
It takes my breath that he had to imagine holding her again and their past moments together to get through it here and follow his plan.
The emotions here are perfectly written. It is unpleasant. It is just like Jarod to do this. He doesn't hurt her physically. I'm glad. I want more right now. Pleasee 🙏🏻
Reviewer: Archange Signed [Report This]Date: 17/02/26 08:41 pm
I mean, yeah, it is Jarod and this tracks. The thing I have to remember is that he doesn't want to do what he is doing but has run it all through his mind and this is the only outcome MP can survive.
He's taking away her agency and she clearly wants him not to do that. That isn't new for Jarod. he sedates people, he held that one woman hostage to protect her from Sammy Tanaka and he violated Luther prisoner guy and stole his kidney. And all that stolen valor in military positions he didn't earn.
Jarod can be unpleasant.
I have to say that you're an exceptional author and story teller. and the way jarod returns to the past for comfort ooohhhhh. I'm excited for more young lady!
Reviewer: Jake Signed [Report This]Date: 17/02/26 06:37 pm
OMG I've been waiting and hoping you'd update.
This is amazing and yes it's Jarod and unpleasant but also delicious. Really painful to have to hold her that way and parker must be in pain too and is obviously so frustrated and angry to be held that way. she is probably feeling betrayed by him too. Ooh the dialog is so on point and so are the characterisations. I want more and more. Make it so!

Lyle! Lyle said what now? I mean. Hold up. Is this his redemption arc? I'm here for it if is and I know that be unpopular and you might even disagree but now hear me out ok?
Kyle got his redemption arc.
He broke out of prison, put a cig out on an innocent cab driver's tongue, terrorized Harriet. I don't mind that he terrorized that abusive dad at the gas station but the rest is bad stuff. But he got a redemption arc and became a hero.
Ethan got his redemption arc.
He planted a bomb and was going to murder hundreds of innocent people celebrating peace. But he still got an redemption arc.
So why not Lyle?
Why not?
Do you disagree?
All of the red files are so similar, all trained by the Centre, all deserving of a redemption arc.
But that's just my opinion.
I'll continue to read this wherever it goes. I'm addicted so I can't help it.
You're just that dang good.
