My name is Dark Angel and I'm an addict. I became addicted to fanfic many years ago and I can't stop reading.

I last used... just now. I had to get my fix. My Mirage fix.

I need more already.

You're my favorite author so hurry and write already.

OMG! I love it Mirage. You're definitely my favorite author and ... I won't say anything about the certain actor. So I hope you aren't mad or anything. Will I score points back if I say that I obeyed your request not to share you on social media? I know you don't like social media so I don't share you there. Ok? I've been good.

Keep writing please. I need more of this in my life. I'm going to read some of your other work today. I thought you were awesome with all the characters and I gotta say that I've never seen Sydney so well fleshed out and in character. I know you excel with Jarod and Miss P but it's when you get Sydney sat down with Jarod this way... brings back good memories. This is now a good memory. It's like watching after school again. Big sighs. I love you.

So much to break down here... first that you have Parker remember Jarod's words from Carthis.. and then to have Sydney talk about Parker's odd behavior after Carthis and you don't lose sight of what already happened and sweep it away like it never happened. They have history that they build and build on. The Pretender tv series had a good thing going. I don't like that that was tossed out the window with those "OFFICIAL" novels. So that's another reason I love your work. That and you're a damn incredibly fantastic author.

I like the human sacrifice mentions and how it tied with Carthis and that it ties with the bloody blade. We should never have forgotten that people were sacrificed for the Centre including Miss Parker's great great family.

I love how Major Charles and Miss Parker get along and even joke about which movies are like her predicament. I like that Sydney thinks Miss Parker believes she had some of Jarod's "JUSTICE" coming to her. I love that Jarod had to be sure Sydney would on board. I love that Sydney is finally going to stick his neck out for Miss Parker. He couldn't protect them both in the past and chose to protect Jarod. I want to see what happens next. Your writing is so exquisite Mirage.

I love this story. I love the parts about Catherine. I love the Sciencey- mind stuff. Sydney sounds just like Sydney here. I love that all of the characters sound and speak in character.

I wait eagerly for your updates.

Miss Parker calling Jarod an idiot lol. I love that they are comfortable with each and cozy there at the end even if Jarod wanted her to confide.

 It comes through in your writing that she is hurt by Jarod's assumptions although I can understand how Jarod arrived at those assumptions.

MP: "A bad day."

Jarod: "That lasted for 6 days."

He doesn't push too aggressively with her and I'm glad about that but he also wants an answer and I'm glad about that too. You've found the balance and it's hard to find. I think Jarod could be too pushy on the tv series but this is refreshing. Thanks for dazzling us Mirage. More please?

Yay! Mirage is back!

What a great chapter! Very visual. I felt like I was right there with the three of them.

As I have said many times before I really LOVE how you write the characters of Parker and Jarod. You bring them ALIVE!

Thank you as always!

Thank you for continuing this series and doing it brilliantly. I'm trying to decide what I love more. The story plausibility, the writing, the timeline, the descriptive work, or how well you know these characters and write them for us. I look forward to the next installment.

Congratulations on another terrific chapter. I've been reading and I'm so so sorry that I haven't been reviewing properly. I know how well you write smut and how sexual these characters have been with other partners in the past and so I think you must feel they should hurry up and have sex but Mirage the waiting demostrates Jarod's uneasiness regarding Parker's behavior in the past and how it will effect the future and their daughter and ... yeah, I feel him. No one wants to have sex with mom and dad in the same house. This is all completely plausibile given Jarod's personality and when I think of how Zoe ended up being suicidal and nutty he'd probably want to exercise some restraint. I know it's your story and I'll continue to read and review but I hope they don't have sex for a while. Everyone's in character and I saw no typos and it's so well written. Keep going please.

"Yoko I am not." lol. Brilliant stuff. You're an amazing storyteller and writer. I love how you write, your style, the way you talk about life and love. You're always respectful when you write about sexual abuse and rape and you're always honest. Parker's "you feel compelled to be you" is perfect. She knows what he does. She read the notebooks, interviewed the people. He interferes and he makes both the bad guys and the victims talk. He must feel like he's hit a wall with her. But she's honest with him and recognizes the challenges. She empathized with him here and I love that. They are growing together. Thank you so much for leaving off with the sex while they try to learn how to move forward and raise Cate. You write children amazingly well. I love how Jarod allowed Cate to decide to come out of her fort and confront her fears, and I noticed that he didn't try to push her out of her comfort zone. I know you did that on purpose and I think through Cate he will learn to allow Parker to confront her own problems in her own way in her own time. He can't push Parker like he does the people he's helped in the past. Parker won't let him because she IS Parker and you know that. We all know how she is. Thank you for staying true to the characters and the series. Thank you for writing and updating.

Margaret and Charlie too busy GETTING BUSY lol. Gold. I love that old people still get to have sex. BUT no one else in the home can have sex lol but Jarod is doing the right thing considering.

More gold right here.... Parker: "Don't worry. I didn't see. MUCH." Brilliant. Somehow you balance tradegy, horrific crimes and comedy.

Jarod being relieved that because she's not in his bed in his arms he doesn't have to worry she be halfway between sleep and awake and remember. This is so poignant... "timelines and crimes and men inextricably tangled" he is still afraid she's going to get the memories all mixed up.. and that does happen I'm told. I like that Jarod calls himself out on his crimes. Breaking, entering, sedating, abducting...all were crimes. I like the accountability and that you didn't forget about his crimes or try to gloss over it or minimize it. They will be a part of their lives too just as Parker chasing him with a gun will.

The part where she tells him people limp away bleeding when she cuts them from her life, that she has the balls to tell him if it was over, that she's never avoided confrontation is another stroke of genius. I smile like a dummy when I read you because it's like watching the dvds again. I need the next chapter. NOW. And the rest of your fics updated too.

So yeah I signed up finally cos my reviews were being deleted.. you didn't delete me did you? I left several reviews for this and Lacunae last week and they are vanished today so yeah just want you to please update. Really missing you. Don't abandon us please.

that should have said Why AREN'T you writing the novels. Dohh.

Thank god it's saturday and I have time to read. I didn't expect another update so soon so this is a welcome surprise. Death isn't funny, except, sometimes, to the dying. Julian, being a prodigy like Jarod, would find the humor in his situation. Exceptional writing and story telling. Shipper I am, I'm in love right now with the Julian/MP bits of this.

I'm also in love with the realism, plausibility. Thanks for keeping these characters alive and in character.
