This. Oh no Jarod is in trouble now. The way the agencies all communicate now he can't hide from this.

Miss Parker shines here. I wasn't expecting two chapters in addition to all of the other stories you are writing at the moment, not to mention the short short you recently gave us that I will be reviewing next. Brilliant!

Ooooh. Powerful. You know how to yank the reader in immediately. The first sentence makes me want to read more. Another thing is you have a really great mind's eye for illustrating the words with words. What I mean is that I read you and the scene plays out like a movie in my head for me. I don't see that much in fanfic. I don't see it much in books either. I was so absorbed in the story that I almost forgot to even notice how well the characters are fleshed out and recognizable. I don't know if you climbed inside Jarod and Parker's mind or if they climbed inside yours. I think the characters have decided to live with you. It's so wild. Some of your writing has scared me and I hope that doesn't offend you or anything. Having that sweet stage front  ticket can be a blessing but when things get dark in your stories it can get scary and uncomfortable, like when I went to see the Dangerous Liasions play and our very own Michael T. Weiss played that skeevy predator. I should have sat way in the back. I was so flushed in the face that I feared I was the one people were watching. I hope the actors don't read these reviews! I will die of embarassment. I'm grateful you are writing for the fandom, for this webpage, that The Pretender is still alive and well at least in one small space in the world. Please don't let it die. It's all some of us have.

Gripping first chapter. I'm impressed and can't wait to see where you're taking us.

I am blindsided by this. Wow! Amazing.

Wows! Just read both chapters and whoa like a train they go by so fast and now I crave more and I know your little fingers are busy typing more right now... right? Right? Say yes.

Ahhhh. You're the one I always come back to. Why, young lady? Why do I always get pulled back in? It's because you capture the dynamics of all the characters so well and write so profoundly and brilliantly. I can't give you up. You've got that something that great authors have and it's rare and precious and I feel fortunate that you chose to channel your natural talents through this fandom even though this fandom consists of maybe a couple hundred people, most who are in their sixties by now! I see the younger kids on twitter talking about you and the fandom so you are defnitely doing something right to make this more than just a nostalgia thing. I'm serious. You're talented.

You seem to not hate Jarod at all. I think I used to believe you hated him and that you were't fond of Michael T Weiss either but now I think I confused you with Miss Parker. I get the not fangirling thing. I don't expect you to fawn. I'm just glad there's no hate. I know you said it in review answers that you don't hate anyone but... that's something people say and don't mean. I think the fact that you don't use emojis can be offputting and people don't know what your tone is and think you're being sarcastic. I noticed in reviews that I'm not the only person realizing that you're just normal and that because you don't fawn it doesn't mean that you hate. You said something like that before, like why does it have to be one of the other. Sorry for going maybe off topic but it's not really off topic if he's the chacaracter and actorr. Love your writing and that you continue to share with us 

Thank you.

You are a breath of fresh air.

Intriguing and terrifying first chapterr. This is my kind of start to the new year. The lights, the anger on the faces, Jarod abused by the cops... ahhh I see, hear, taste, feel it all. I need more.

Top notch mate. Short chapters but I can appreciate the quality over quantity any time. You continue to amaze me.

Miss Parker coming in completely in control. I love that Jarod and other men support her story arc in your stories and not the other way. We often see women only empowering the men but she's clearly here to retrieve Jarod for her own benefit and I love that she's attorney and sent by the ACLU. I love that Jarod donates stolen Centre money to the ACLU. I love the ACLU if ya didn't know. I can't imagine how this will move forward but you haven't ever let me down and I don't think you'll start now. I also want to say how much I love that Jarod finally got in a mess he couldn't get himself out of and with the breaking news and social media there would be no easy way out this time. I think, as in your Happenstance masterpiece that other agencies would also want him when they realize he's worked for and with them and impersonated them in the past. I hope you will continue this. I know you have many that seem or seem to me are close to being finished and as sad as I am to see them end I always want more. Happy new year.

Ooooh!! Love. Will need more of this soon. Thank you for your talent and sharing.

"Hell's intestines" lol! Miss Parker is here with her super snark and bark and I love it. She is super on point and I know how cops are definitely not Andy in Mayberry. You are truly exceptional with characterisations and character placement...and dialogue, transitions...you're just good at every aspect of this.You deliver the professional goods and know how to get my attention and keep it. I love that Miss Parker is there to help Jarod-not really help him-help herself. The chapters are so short so I'm thrilled to tears that you posted two for us. Thank you to the moon and back Mirage.
