Congratulations!

I love that the three of them have returned to their childhoods..so e big time nostalgia pretend feels here.

I feel like weeping. There's joy and beauty. There is love and friendship.

I've always wanted those three to find each other and leave the hell behind.

They have here

Mirage you've made a grown man cry.

I'm thankful for it too

My review should say *strong enough to BEAR the smut*

Firstly, thank you for responding to my emails. I know you must be busy and I hope you are busy writing.

I think Parker would react this way. Jarod being sorry he hurt her isn't going to instantly take away her pain. Sorry isn't the cure all people seem to think it is.

We see her struggling because she knows he sorry and that puts the onus on her to accept the apology and forgive and move on and you're probably cringing because I know, and I know that YOU know that it doesn't work that way. It's going to take time.

Jarod's struggling too I see and he's right that she is hiding from him. They both understand what is happening and both are still willing to cling to each for support. I really enjoyed this chapter and all of the previous ones. It's a solid story and you write it wonderfully. Please continue.

This is exquisite dear author.

Jarod's longing to tell Parker the entire truth, to have her think only good things about him is so visceral and poignant.

He loves her so much that he stops himself and doesn't say the three words because he fears it will be a burden to her.
The way he reproves himself after confessing everything else because in the end he still lied to her is so in character for him, or he believes he lied. He didn't pick up on the fact that she was dishonest. She isn't leaving. She never agreed to leave either but she didn't say she woudln't. She was still deceptive but her reasons are valid.A lot of people would paint it black or white and wrong or right but there's always more to with Jarod and Parker. You capture the heart, soul, mind, spirit, the entire body and being of the series. I'm eager to read the next chapters already. I'm becoming more impatient and trying to stay patient. I know you have a real life, job, relationships, and probably a large giant circle of people in your life who need your attention.  I read something about how you have gardens and also in your response to reviews I read that you also rescue cats and find them homes? I don't know how you find time to even write as much as you do write and I appreciate the time you devote to keeping the dream alive. This series has always been near and dear to my heart and it shouldn't have ended. It should never end.

I thank you with all of my heart. ❤

Broots is the normal one of the lot and I can see this happening because he's already said he was having a breakdown back in TP2001. Too much weird, too much bad. Too much is too much. He's bound to break. Because he's the normal one of the lot. I love the direction, your characterisations are always spot on. Chapter 3 here I come!

I love it when they work together this way, although they've never had so much time alone to do it. They do it well, and you write it exceptionally well. I feared they'd have sex and lose the plot but clear heads prevailed and Parker's already still resolving some remorse about endangering Jarod's life when they were kids. I think revisiting the past caught them off guard and it was a sweet, completely innocent moment between two people who still have feelings for each other. You handled that delicately and painted it as tender and pure. You never do what I think you might do. You've demonstrated versality again and it feels like you took great care to show they still care for each other but that it's something they can't explore right now. It can't be easy to balance the responsibilities they have now. They care for Broots, as well. Does writing feel like a high wire act? You don't seem to struggle at all. It sesms to come naturally for you. I'm thankful for all you've contributed to the fandom and beg you to write more.

Happy holidays to you and those you hold dear.

Enjoyable from the beginning to the end.....almost end. Fast paced, action packed, perfect characterisations, brilliantly executed story..

I eagerly await your sequel.

Ooh such a tiny scoop of a chapter, and every word delicious. Please update soon. I'm hooked.

Gorgeous. I've enjoyed every word so far. You really have insight into the characters. This is the missing piece I've been waiting for.

Thank you sincerely.

Gorgeous, Mirage. You're holding things in balance well, injecting a certain delicacy. What seems impossible for me seems to come so easy for you. The descriptive work is stunning. A completely captivating read and this is first chapter. I can't wait to see what else you have in store for us.

Thank you for sharing your natural gifts.

I know that I'm in for one big time hell of a ride. Of course the subject matter is hard and that's a given. I had a hard time watching the Risque Business episode of The Pretender.

The Perdition ending of FON was my least favorite ending of your choose your own ending 3 chapter choice set and I understand and appreciate you giving us 3 endings so we could choose. I know you did that as a gift to readers who wanted happiness for Jarod and Miss Parker. It's just so dark.

I'm excited to see where this will go.

More please and thank you young lady.
