Look at you bringing the happy ending home.. or happyish. I'm glad they didn't have sex. I love smut don't get me wrong but I love this. I see that the readers were pushing this one along. I wonder how many emails you received, so you gave readers what they wanted all along. I think that's sweet of you. I also am glad that you do what you have to do now and let the story write itself. Trying to please everyone must have been hard for you. It sounds impossible to do that. You handled it all with grace and pleasantness. Bless you. Thank you for this beautiful story. It's amazing.

Parker is becoming what she once ridiculed. Minivans. I love that. I always thought she could be taken down a notch from the superior feelings. She didn't mean it. She's really afraid and vulnerable and uses the gun because she's afraid. You capture it all perfectly.
Reviewer: Jana Signed [Report This]Date: 09/02/24 12:58 am
Ohhhh. Parker is so bad ass and still it's a facade. Just like the tv series. I love this story so much. Your writing and style is amazing.
Reviewer: Jana Signed [Report This]Date: 09/02/24 12:57 am
I need more and more. I don't want to finish this because then it will be over. :( I love this so much. It's so exactly what I wanted.
Reviewer: Jana Signed [Report This]Date: 09/02/24 12:55 am
I keep worrying that something bad will happen, something more. I hope Parker will let Jarod love her. On the tv series she is clearly so afraid of him and a relationship with him. That gun always there. When he grabbed her hand in IOTH ni that car at the airport in Scotland she looked so terrified and shook.. and she cried some too. I can't wait!

Ompffffff! Jarod is so ... yummy Jarod. Parker is Parker. I love that I can SEE the characters and what they are doing. Really action packed and fast paced and I love it.

Oompff!

Can't get enough.

I don't know how you do it so magnificently and really pull me in and not let go. So addicting. I love how in character they are all and the same intensity from tv.
Reviewer: Jana Signed [Report This]Date: 09/02/24 12:46 am
I love how we get right into it with doubt being cast and just like on the tv series Parker and Sydney wonder if Jarod has snapped. THey thought he was addicted to drugs again in the Junkie episode and are quick to believe the worst so that was in keeping with what we know.
I love this chapter so much.
Reviewer: Jana Signed [Report This]Date: 09/02/24 12:35 am
Not this time. Freaking Ocee. She sends Jarod to an unclothed Parker and then interrupts them before they can get their freak on.
I think it was fitting to leave them clothed in this one.
"The story," she said with a shrug, "wouldn't have ended this way, if it had been up to me."
"It is up to you, and," Jarod knitted his brow, "who said it ended? You didn't think you could get rid of me that easily, did you?"
Perfection!
All the feels. Thank you for all of the feels.

Oh boy. My first thought was Jarod would freak out about the truth about his dad but he doesn't want to freak out while Parker is still going through that hell and he's concealing and restraining his own reaction. He's a pretender. He knows how to do that. Yes, yes, Parker leading the PTA, choosing to be a mother. Oi, but that word. Never. Oi.
Reviewer: shauna Signed [Report This]Date: 14/01/22 05:50 am
Jarod is so doubtful. Parker doesn't want to eat but wants to go home. I love how in control Parker is even in the weakened condition, making threats and I think she'd follow them through.
Reviewer: shauna Signed [Report This]Date: 14/01/22 05:45 am
Ooh, welp, Jarod isn't wrong. She will get used to having a loving father but I think that would take some time. She's so used now to being dependent and having nothing. Yes, Jarod will manage getting into her house just fine because he always does and always has. I love that cute moment. My heart fills with joy that she told Jarod to stay. Shippery feels Mirage. Shippery feels.

Where the hell are my clothes. Classic Parker in full classic Parker mode activated. You write this so naturally. The power struggle was expected. Parker doesn't like that imbalanced power structure, with Jarod in charge, and it's hard to blame her. This is a tight story.
Reviewer: shauna Signed [Report This]Date: 14/01/22 05:39 am
I could feel Jarod's hopes sink when the phone rang. Ugh. I feel that. So many more Pretender shippery nostalgia feelings when Jarod sends that signal to Parker that it's really him and not his clone and that everything is ok. Parker is so bad ass to the end in this chapter, using all of that adrenaline until it was gone. She wanted to kill Lyle so much and I feel that, and Jarod would have let her and maybe helped her but he needed to move her to safety.
Reviewer: shauna Signed [Report This]Date: 14/01/22 05:35 am
I wondered that too. The Centre had eyes everywhere and could read the concern on her face for Jarod but no one ever questioned it in the later years. Only once in the early season was she T-boarded and never again and no one inside the Centre noticed her worrying that Bartlett would kill Jarod. Ooh. Lyle kissing his sister is not good and exactly like Lyle. I'm worried.
Reviewer: shauna Signed [Report This]Date: 14/01/22 05:30 am
Syd's answer is to relax and that sounds like Syd, anything to keep Parker from killing Jarod.I have a bad feeling Parker's plan isn't going to work out. I love the character growth, that's she is actively protecting those she loves, including Nate. She is trying to protect him and that means giving him up. The Centre is no place for a kid. Ah Mirage I'm getting all the nostaglic Pretender feels.

I haven't read this before and don't remember hearing so much about it so I'm curious. I'm glad I clicked. It's bloody fantastic! I like this style of writing. It's got all of the snark I've come to love from Parker and Jarod as usual is being cryptic. Everyone is in character. Really curious to know what's going on here.

Mirage slamming the brakes? That is so unlike you!! This is not the Mirage I know and love and blush while reading. You seem to be mostly testing the waters here and following the wishes of the reviewers which is nice but I do love how you've evolved and listen to the muses. I love that you ended by saying there was no interruption by an Ocee kind of person this time and leave it to our imagination but I also love how you leave not much to our imagination now. You do write PG but I do love your R rated stories. You're the best of both worlds. You could sequel this. Hint.

Ben and Parker extoling the quailities of minivans to soothe her ego beacause she used to mock minivans on the show. It's good to see her become more normal, nearly dying and losing everyone has humbled her. That's good. It makes her more likable. THis is definitely one of my favorite stories by you so far.

Miss Parker has all the balls in the world. You'll get nothing.. except a dead employee. I mean... damn baby girl!! I love this story. Why haven't I ever seen it before now.

Jaw dropping relevation there. You're a brilliant storyteller and the characters are just as I remember. Will Parker be ok? I'll click the next chapter and find out.
