"If I'd only known you wanted to be submissive" When Jarod gets salty he gets extra salty.. and scary. Speaking of scary ... it's scary how in character the characters always are. Gotta love Broots here.

:) oh wow there was a weekend?! I need to know more about that weekened. You really yank back the skin and get into the characters and this is totally how Jarod would be if he lost Syd. Desperation, fear, anger. Plus his history with Parker and that so called sexual tension but you know I never noticed any real chemistry between them and I know I might get hated on for that but they did good at showing the tension but there was no on screen chemistry.I know there was suppposed to be and so we're all going with that narrative and you nail it.  You keep Parker indifferent but we know she's afraid for SYdney and she really seemed freaked out on the Isle with Jarod. She looked so tiny next to him and cold and she seemed so demure and weaker than we are used to seeing right. Damn you ARE good girl. I'm loving this ride. The work you put into writing really shows.

It's so freaking weird how twitter pays off sometimes. I clicked a link and read your work and I'm astounded. Mirage I think is appropriate. No one knows who the hell you are! It's so wild!!

Anyhow! I found this place and I seem to be addicted. So you really are like crack or meth or whatever. I didn't believe it. I want more of this story. I don't know how this works. I guess I leave nice words for you and you update for me? I don't know what fanfic is. I know that your writing is freaking awesome. I want to read the rest of this! I guess I will beg if I need to. Please.

I don't usually say WOW aloud while reading. Or Oh MY GOD or anything. I'm not so moved by writing. I like stories but they don't usually make me feel anything. Finding you changed all of that.

"My call history," she said archly, "doesn't lie."

"Even if its owner does," came Jarod's lofty retort.

"All you have to do is tell me where-" Jarod words were clipped, his attention arrested by a heavy engine approaching rapidly. He estimated one, possibly two, Centre sedans.  Sweepers.  The squeal of tires acted as arbiter; they called the battle in Parker's favor.  Or so she believed. Cold steel caressed her temple and prompted her to believe otherwise. "Not a sound," commanded Jarod. 

Wow. Brilliant. You're a wordsmith. You're talented. I'm shocked you haven't left us for a big writing deal. I guess you could do both. I'm glad you stay for whatever reason you stay. I can't get over this one.. I keep seeing the words and I love them....

"Cold steel caressed her temple and prompted her to believe otherwise."

How the heck do you write like that? Wanna teach me?

Eternally impressed by your out of this world writing.

More please? I'll do anything for more.

Ooh oh! Oh my God! Mirage. So ok I know you are good but MY GOD sometimes you still blow me way away. Jarod vanished just like always. A weekened in Carthis. More about that soon I hope.

Very professional as always. Everyone was in character. YOU KNOW THESE CHARACTERS. It's amazing. I lol at Broots like always in the tv series and your work.

Did Jarod just make a mistake and go after Lyle thinking he had Sydney? If so that would keep him human and I'd like that. You always reveal humanity in them, imperfections. 

I love the police element in this and Parker's competence in being a sweeper and collecting evidence.

Bravo!

More please?

You always impress me. The tension in the room was wild. Mirage you have this ability to transport the reader into the story and that can be enjoyable and it can be terrifying.

Jarod and Miss Parker spent a weekend together after Carthis, but before Sydney's abduction? Well well well. I need a second to wrap my mind around that one.

I won't ask but only because I don't want to make you uncomfortable. I would like to know what occurred and where the weekend was spent and how they wound up there. If they were an item or were intimate they apparently had some trouble and didn't stick it out together. I am curious.

Intriguing. So much tension but that tension is in keeping with what you saw on your Pretender dvds.

I look forward to reading more from you.

Until next time..

YES YES YES YES! A longer chapter. YES oh oooh. The way my heart sputters up fast when they meet --- you replicate the intensity and tension from the tv series. I love that feeling. My God GIRL how the hell do you do that? You are like amazing. Do you marathon watch their interactions and study them? Whoa baby. Jarod came barging on in and I could see Parker stumbling backwards to avoid him running into her but that would have been ok. They can run into each other ;). LOVE LOVE LOVE all of it. He could hvae taken the gun forcefully, but all that time he had her mobile and she didn't know? So she couldn't call for help or call the Centre? But he knew she wouldn't kill him. God. I love that. I love the subtleties. oh ooooh It's so like Parker to carry on with work like she isn't bothered after he's gone. Need to know what happened on that weekend. Soon please. I know you won't disappoint. You never have. That's why I'm your biggest fan!!

Thank you for this. With everything going on right now in the news...shit. I needed this. I need this from you every day. I am so stressed and in disbelief and I don't even work much... can't concentrate. I think we were warned I think history is repeating itself I think some people didn't learn from history. I think it sucks to be the rest of us to learned from history and have to see this shit happen. Sooo... sorry to vent on you. Thank you from my broken heart Mirage. I can escape to this Pretenderland where Jarod and Parker get to bicker through the sexual tension and ...you capture it better than anyone. You take me away and let me Parker and let me Jarod and Broots. I get to feel what they feel. It's so much easier than dealing with reality. You saved me from going crazy. I love the way she SHE of all people backed up so he could enter the house. WOW. Wanna know what happened during that weekend. Fill us in. And let Sydney be ok cos he is one of the good guys annoying as he can be sometimes. Could you like update right now? Please.

They spent a weekend together sometime after Carthis. OMFG! Details please!!!! Thanks for giving us shippers a little something though you didn't have to. Your writing and characterisations are always solid Mirage and even without the treat you dangled for this shipper I would have read this to the end with bated breath I swear to you.

So I love Jarod's reference to Bob Dylan's song and I'm glad the times are changing. The way you wrote Jarod and MP's entrance into this, their introductions was brilliant. She had to walk backward to avoid him colliding with her and he finally knows that she won't shoot him but thinks her reason is her mother's work.

Her snark is present. I love how she is impassive and cool. Her remark about waterboarding and the "Broots soiling Sydney's polished floors" is amazing.

So much to take in and I will reread this another 50 times to see what I missed. You are amazing. I mean honestly I know anyone who bothers to deliver this quality of writing on par or even better than the tv series. Seriously keep going. I'd buy this if you were selling it. It makes me love you more that you think highly enough and respect readers enough to give us top notch writing.

More please?
