Gotta ask... how's the arm? Did a doctor ever figure it out? I hope you're ok .. especially by now.  You not only wrote amazingly you did it while taking pain killers and in pain. You are the boss!

She called him a liar.. he'll always bother her. he lives to do it. I love that she comforts Jarod the way Sydney comforted her, just taking his hand. I love that Jarod thought she'd left already and then...ahhh comfort. Beautiful.

OW!! He didn't know about the baby. Oh, it's tragic and beautiful. How do you do it?!

tehrhee washable AND waterproof.

You really painted that scene spectacularly and I'm dying at "headmaster of Babylon"  and you should know I don't usually read a story twice. This snatched me in! 

This is another thing you do with. your descriptive work. describing Rachel's thoughts, how she knows she is flaking but can't stop herself from doing it, and this feeling of being used soured her against Jarod, she feels spurned and used up. You make me feel sympathy for a character I've never liked.

seriously living old school Brandt ..dang my reading is being interrupted. The way you word things, the world faltering, Jarid finding it all impossible..so brillz!

Zina rules. You write them all real enough to reach out and touch. Rachel has feels for Jarod. I guess most women and men do tho so makes sense. The post 9/11 world changed so much. of the landscape, in the law enforcement community too and that makes it harder for Jarod too. You write it all so smoothly.

I'm going to do you the respect of giving you a complete review even tho you don't ask for reviews. It was a stroke of genius to begin in the world outside of the pretender and meve outward to show how our characters get involved. This is my second read through so I know now that the characters were going to get involved one way or the other eventually anyway. I love Brandt, can't help but see Brian Dennahey as the detective and a tall skinny young Benedict Cumberbatch as rookie. Amazing amazing work Mirage.

I definitely don't h8 u�💯��💕🎊🤩🤗

You really showcase your talents here bringing every character alive as I remember them and bringing your originals, too. I'm in awe at your ability.. You're a wordsmith. You're a virtuoso. I can't get enough.

Oh wow you do keep me surprised and happy. How in the hell do you write them ALL exactly in character all the time? Amazing as always. So good to see them ride off to the pastry shops together. Sounds happy to me. I love this and love you for writing it. Thanks a a gazillion! Congratulations 🎉 too!

You really know the characters. Everytime I read your fics I'm just really wowed by all of it, all of the parts, transitions, and all and how the characters *ARE* the characters. Sad to see any thing you write end but happy that they are happily going to get pastries and relieved you're still writing, and not going anywhere. I rely on my daily Mirage boost and hope you'll always write and share with me. Thanks and contgrats!
