This is just wow .. so mesmerizing and professionally written and edited, and you are actually an author offline, too. I can tell. I'd love to read any of your books. I love all of your stories here too. My favorite series meets my favorite author and I'm glad you watched this series and became a fan of it because if you hadn't been a fan ...I hate to think of no new Pretender stories, none as intriguing and exquisite as yours. More, please, and thank you. I'm really grateful that you're writing and sharing.

"Jarod believed that Eminem added another dimension to Beethoven, and that tying Lyle to Margaret's boat, towing him out to sea, and leaving him to die would be a delightful deviation from monotony."
lol. I love it, Jarod's thoughts going from one thing to another. That's the way he thinks.
I love that Jarod wanted some hustle from the app too. We've all been there trying to get our app to call home cos it's an emergency and the stupid app doesn't know the difference between regular calling home and emergency calling home. A scathing review? No one wants a scathing review from Jarod. Do they, Mirage? Do you ever worry about scathing reviews or scathing reviews from the actors? I'm really curious now. I'd be terrified to post my Pretender fics online. I think I'd die if I got a bad review from MTW. But I would like to write some. I don't know how to write at all. You inspire me so much and really make me want to try. Please post more. The characters are ...exactly in character and it's scary the way you do this.

Don't misunderstand me. Feedback is always good, and I appreciate reading everyone's thoughts. That said, I didn't begin scribbling for the reviews. And I would never allow a scathing review to be a roadblock. I'd wonder why the person continued reading, and disregarded my warnings, and what, exactly, they were expecting from something called fanfic. I compare it to expecting fine cuisine from a waffle house, or Monet in a room of a fingerpainters, or Bach in the local pub on karaoke night. Some people are intelligent enough to comprehend those distinctions. Those who aren't-- mm, welp, that's a 'them' problem, so I hope you will post your fics here. Not everyone is going to like everything, and that's all right. They don't have to. You've got this. Thanks.

My review got cut off lol π. I love the pace of this and that Jarod and Mp haven't seen each other in 2 decades. Like Mp I didn't expect Jarod to reach down and catch the offending ankle π² and his other hand is gripping her shoulder??? so that's a terrific mental image that I'll treasure forever βΎοΈ but it's all self defense on his side and nothing sexual going on. Ooh dark hair spilling across his face. You're a visual author so I see Jarod taking her gun and removing the magazine and then looking at her and she looks away quickly to hide her feelings awesome π! You don't bog us down with so many details. Many authors don't know how to say enough and some of those also say way too much You say only what needs to be said. That's a talent.I want more. Please also continue your other stories. So much variety with you. I love it.

You have my attention. Sign me all the way up every time for some Mirage. This is a tight first chapter and I'm truly impressed with your skills. It's a compelling, original plot that I've never read before and fast paced and amazingly written. This could and should be the next television episode of The Pretender. You're a hell of a story teller, and a fount of brilliance. You are writing how many fics right now? Please update them all.

Oooh, the wise and talented Mirage grabbing my hand and yanking me in again. You're a wordsmith! Listen tho, I've read everything here, my own stuff included, and you are a star. I'm hooked with your first sentence and you hold my attention and you know how to write and tell a story. But something else you do like a PRO is you KNOW these characters. Reading you is like being there and watching these people up close. This could esaily be the continuation picking up where IOTH left us so disappointed, and nevermind the reboot that was even more disappointing.
You capture the characters and dynamics brilliantly and bring the characters to life and your descriptive work is amazing. You set the scene beautifully. The action in this is bar none perfection. The chemistry is off the charts and you capture that like a boss. The movements and interactions between the characters are so awesomely written and you transition like a pro for ease of reading. I love it.
You understand the assignment, Mirage. This is classic Jarod tho "
love!! I want more. Now.
