Title: Exile

You handle Centre politics with ease. So strange to see Jarod in control. It's a good look for him.

Miss Parker redeems herself but doesn't really. We know she's a softy.

Title: An Ace in the Hole

The comedic strokes emphasize the gravity sometimes as well as lend some much needed humor. The process seems like an art. If that's true you are Michelangelo.

Jarod is badly hurt. Miss Parker is confused. That is so far a constant picking up where the series left off. I appreciate your respect for the original series. It is the best.

Jarod and Miss Parker are so Jarod and Miss Parker when you write them. I love the following. So telling in their storyline and history.

"She asked. "What am I missing?" "Missing." Jarod repeated with a hearty chuckle. "Miss Parker," He laughed- laughed at her, the bastard, "you are not missing anything." He explained and then smugly clarified: "You know exactly what I want you to know."


"Nothing." She murmured.

"Very good." He nodded. Bastard. How dare he patronize me!

"Good?" She hissed. "How is that good?"

"Come, now, Miss Parker," Jarod admonished gently, "Nothing was enough for you back when it was all your father ever gave you. Nothing was more than enough, in fact. I've watched you cling to nothing, to absolutely nothing, for years. By now, you should be accustomed to it, accustomed to nothing." He fell silent for several moments, and then added, wistfully: "I suppose we should both be."

Title: Flight of Fancy

This was so much the cautionary tale of doublecrossing Jarod even if Miss Parker didn't have terrible intentions. You must have been considering this for some long while Mirage. If Jarod had ever wanted to hurt her he needed only to walk in and do so. He can be anything and anyone and this illustrates that and slams an exclamation mark behind it. She thought she was going to die at Raines's hands and learns that Jarod is the one in control. The way you describe how Miss Parker can't remember the question she asked when Jarod answers her is magnificent.

Title: Help

The hi-tech elements and the explanation of the ruse were all brilliant as was Broots's communication with Jarod. The ending though, again... masterfully executed Mirage.

Jarod's nonsexual physical contact with Miss Parker was unexpectedly erotic.

Title: Welcome Back, Jarod

Except while watching The Pretender and your writing I've never the characters behave so much like themselves. You wrote what you saw, the behaviors and you made it happen. I like Jarod's exaggeration, that he knew it would both boost Raines's ego and apall Parker. Raines would think of the early encounter and Parker needed to have an authentic reaction to avoid suspicion. I can imagine that even later all the evil characters would be thinking not of the possibility of his escaping but thinking "What the hell? Jarod was nuts!" and that's probably what Jarod wanted them to think. Parker played Cox perfectly. Epic chapter all around.

Title: Truce?

Stunning chapter. Your chapter notes are hilarious by the way. It's refreshing and heartwarming to see Jarod carefully explain his disappearance and when his words failed the actions succeeded. It's telling. Again the closing words at the scene's ending are masterful. So profound. You leave me wanting more.

Title: Silent Treatment

What stands out is how well Sydney and Miss Parker pick up the cues and play off each other. He had her back before when he was blinded and they are dear friends and confidants. Miss Parker has that same interplay with Jarod in later chapters where they interpret silently. You leave us again with a massive cliff hanger that I found surprising. I heard you weren't a shipper. I'm glad you're not but I appreciate this understanding you have of the direction the series was taking and that you realize the connection shared by Jarod and Miss Parker and don't allow your own feelings prevent what seems natural when you write it.

Title: The Missing Piece

Whoa. This was an epic ride! I've completed this and am current with your updates and didn't know if I should review each chapter on its own merits or as a whole. I'm going to review each chapter. The read count won't hurt you and it seems to be the way it's done around here. Straight away I owe you an apology. When I first heard about a fanfic I had low expectations but you blew my mind with the stylistic features and descriptive work and a rawness that is sharp enough to cut bone. I read this and knew immediately you were revisiting the woman who arrested Jarod and was stoked. What a stroke of genius to show us how these people who had their lives changed forever by Jarod and Parker. I love that you love this show enough and that you know this show well enough to pay this homage to the minor characters and not just the major ones. This could easily be an episode of The Pretender. For me it IS an episode of The Pretender and that's the highest compliment I can give. I love this series! That final sentence cements your epiceness: "He hoped—and feared—it was."

LOVE that there is really a haunted Island and that Parker went there and it was her way of letting Jarod know she was still alive. So in character and your dialogue and descriptive work are all beautifully and professionally done. I want more. Please?

Title: The Missing Piece (Part III)

This is one of the best stories I've ever read. The Italian haunted island idea is intriguing. I searched online and it really exists and is like you described it. The way you write is amazing. You describe things so easily it seems. You talked about the earth reclaiming and you've become the authority on these characters. Please continue and please tell me Jarod will find Parker again alive.



Author's Response:

I'm glad you like the Island and the fic. Thanks for reading and reviewing.

Title: The Missing Piece (Part III)

I think you are way too humble listing your stories as general. I hope you'll list this as drama, romance, and humor too, and you should add your own category 'tingly feelings' like only Michael T. Weiss could evoke because you make me feel like I'm in the story with them and that tension and weirdness between Jarod and Miss Parker... even you have to admit that the actors do an exceptional job convincing us and YOU do an exceptional job of conveying that in writing. I always get the visual and the emotions and I feel those emotions. You're good. You're the best. Kirkland spiking his mylanta with rum is... I can see him doing that. Parker was abducted on his watch and he's a good FBI agent and a good man and Parker is the hero and I get his concern for her. You make it clear that it's concern for her and not his own career. I love Kirkland. You create these original characters and they are unforgettable. The thing I'll always love most about you is this gem said by Jarod.. "It's true that I want you to stop; I want you to stay. More importantly and precisely I want you to make those decisions." Oh my God Mirage. You know that makes me fall in love with Jarod. And you're still NOT a shipper??!!!! How is that even possible when you write these things?"!!  Miss Parker has to fall in love with him too. How can she not???!!! I need more and this kind of perfection is so worth the wait..



Author's Response:

You are too kind. No, I'm still not a shipper.

Thank you for the lovely review, needlepoint.

Mirage YOU never disappoint. You're a wordsmith. So eloquent. Rarely do I see quality and quantity exist together at the same time but you've achieved both with your body of work! How do you get these characters so pitch perfectly in character while managing to be succinct and plausible? I can see that you're naturally talented and skilled. You've always been a brilliant story teller and you keep getting better and I keep wanting more. I will always be thankful to you for sharing your talents with us.

Title: The Missing Piece (Part III)

Bravo! I'm not a softy but I appreciate that they didn't have sex in this chapter. As much as some of us want the story to go in that direction and for Jarod and Miss Parker to grow closer and have sex again it's obviously complicated. Not to mention that she came to him battered and we know Jaord. He's relieved to see her alive and is feeling nothing else but that same boyish affection for her. He patched her up with a doctor's detachment.

I wouldn't have minded a detailed play by play of medical procedures but I know you probably don't care to do that and you have already in several other stories and you did it well. I know you're capable of writing him as a doctor and describing the medical procedures in detail. I think you probably prefer not to. Some of the ladies have an aversion to Jarod as doctor. Some of you have an aversion to Jarod in general but hey I'm not naming names.

Your indifferencence to, and maybe partial dislike of Jarod doesn't show in your writing fortunately. You are a savant and virtuoso. You know where to put the characters and you know where the plausibility limits are. You know when to give us the realistic hardcore sex scenes and you know when to pull back and let the situation be what it is and I'll stop there before my review begins sounding any more similar to that old Air Supply song lol. Things are complicated for Jarod and Miss Parker and that's what so many fans find intriguing about their relationship. It's been forbidden and strained but I hope they will have a semi happy ending. I like the direction and you haven't disappointed me yet.

I'm glad Kirkland was a good guy. Cuban cigars sounds like a nice retirement. Can I thank you for giving them quality dialogue that follows what we know from the series? I look forward to reading more. Until next time.

Parker's not the only one NOT exonerated if you're following along with real life lol and politics. Thank GOD you're taking my mind off the real life bs.

Things got really tense there when he asked about Dante and what was up with her lip? Is she hiding something from Jarod? I can't wait to see what the next chapter brings. Please continue.

No no of course Parker isn't going to do what Jarod told her to do. That's why I love her so much. But I love him too for caring about her. Oh Mirage you know exactly what you are doing. You know these characters so well. The idea of Jarod watching her sleep for so long .. so many shipper feels in my heart. He has to find her... alive please. Please?

Miss Parker is so proactive and would take charge of her health but Jarod can't help but to want to help her. I don't blame any woman for having an abortion for any reason and especially in cases of rape. I like how bravely and frankly you talk about abortion and about rape... and about everything. Some people don't say what they mean and it makes it hard to understand what is going on in the story. You choose the words and say it plainly and boldy. Jarod's tenderness with her at the end and his tears...oh he hurts so openly and isn't ashamed to show his tears. That's the Jarod I know and love.

Title: Gone (Part IX)

Margaret is so likeable and maternal and just omg! Parker gave him her mum's St. Anthony and a flash drive during that limo scene in Scotland. I love you for that. ""I didn't realize you were religious," said Margaret, sheepishly.
"Neither did I," Jarod said, explaining succinctly, "It's from her."

and I love this too

"It's no coincidence that I found you one month after Carthis, Mother. You have Miss Parker to thank for that." 
 
Haltingly, Jarod confessed in a low, clipped tone, "I never did."

 

Jarod's regret is so real and profound. Oh my heart!

Damn. You know about welding too? You make the guy stuff really cool too and fun to read. So much tension between Kirkland and Rachel. Nice. Plausible that Jarod would collapse even hours after the injury. People do that. Leave the hospital and think they're ok and then die. I remember being so worried that you'd kill him off. lol.

Kyle's reaction is priceless. Ethan's observations are very telling here and it shows us Jarod's pain and panic. He's still concussed and clearly out of sorts. I'm glad he was able to pull it together finally.
