Old fan of the television [(TELEVISION ONLY)] series and new fan of fan fic [(but only the original universe)]. Can't stand the new direction or the novels!!!!!
When Jarod and his clone are presumed dead and further cloning attempts prove futile, Raines is determined to find another way. He finds it in Dry River, Arizona.
No no of course Parker isn't going to do what Jarod told her to do. That's why I love her so much. But I love him too for caring about her. Oh Mirage you know exactly what you are doing. You know these characters so well. The idea of Jarod watching her sleep for so long .. so many shipper feels in my heart. He has to find her... alive please. Please?

A crime scene, a chance meeting, two people transcending the lives chosen for them. Jarod POV. S.M.U.T.
Ahhhh Mirage. I love this. This is the best thing I've ever read in my entire life. I could go for some more.
Reviewer: Lacy Signed Jarod is implicated in a spate of homicides.
Oh, I love that you have all the emotional scenes and I hoped you would and I love it all so much. This cements even more your talent and skill as an author. It seems like you're warming up to Jarod or...maybe just Michael 🤔? You keep me guessing always. This is so stunning this work, and the way you wrote the last chapter. I feel so happy that I got to read it.
Reviewer: Lacy Signed Ohh no! I'm so relieved that Broots and everyone is going to live but after the distrust resurfacing.. if ever went away and I guess it would take a long time for that to happen. I feel that the chances for a happy ending just nosedived. The story is brilliant and you're a brilliant wordsmith and the characterizations...Mirage I can't even sometimes. It's like being there watching from a front row. I want more and more.
Reviewer: Lacy Signed I hope you're doing ok? How are you? I'm not just using you for your fanfic. I care about you. You're fandomly as you always say. I like to check in, see that you're all good.
I love how you make Jarod collide with the consequences of his actions. He thinks Parker believes she's beyond reproach. He's the one with the god complex. I forget he's an asshole sometimes. You never fail to remind me. Lol. I love it. More, please?
Reviewer: Lacy Signed Girl you've been missed. I don't know where you've been but I'm glad you're back. Please never leave us. Please?!
Thanks for the warm welcome back, Lacy.
Reviewer: Lacy Signed Quaratine sucks. I have to say that. I find comfort in reading and in The Pretender and with you Mirage I have the best of both worlds. The snake analogy here and your ability to describe and tell this story and transition easily and seamlessyly it all blows my mind. Your writing and details are so professional and amazing. I love this series you're writing. This chapter is amazing.
Reviewer: Lacy Signed lol "help me move this damn thing." Thank You. Parker doesn't lose her edge just because she's growing closer to Jarod and I love that. They can be themselves with each other. I know you're not a shipper but this hit me in the shippery feels. Thank you.
Reviewer: Lacy Signed Oh goddesses Miss Parker is so funny in this. She wants to have sex but she doesn't pressure or emasculate Jarod about his concerns and the choice to not have sex because she loves him and that's becoming clear now. I love this relationship. It's how I always thought it could be and wanted it to be. I can read you forever Mirage.

Reviewer: Lacy Signed Loling at the notes above the story. Real life was on a bender then... but now look. It's even worse. I knew trump was going to mess it all up but jesus he's exceeded my worst fears! But nevermind that now. I'm here to forget real life.
I love Ethan's concern and then Jarod's suprise that Ethan's concern was for Parker and not him. Jarod was married tho and committed. He was also ok with abductcing and sedating Parker. I can understand Ethan. I love the dymanics and how plausible all of this is. You stun with your writing and amaze with your characterizations.
Reviewer: Lacy Signed So you created the chapter title on the fly? Wow. I could never think that fast on my feet. Beautiful job and I'm especially impressed with Jarod's shrink-iness and mental health words. I'd be uncomfortable trying to write some of this subject matter. You excel. You really go the extra mile Mirage.
Reviewer: Lacy Signed This blows me away. To put Broots in this position makes so much sense. Him finding a way to save his own life and protect Debbie and become the boss in some ways of Miss Parker. I love the reversal. He's so much kinder to her than she was to him but she had to keep up appearances to fool the Centre. I love this. I've always wanted to Broots in some other role besides Centre-slave whipping boy. Amazing! That confession at the end was the cherry on top. Thank you!
Reviewer: Lacy Signed Ooh I love how you illustrate with words. Your descriptive word and the detail you weave into each paragraph is inspirational. I read you in awe. You know how to captivate and make it so effortless. LOVE how Jarod reacte to Miss Parker sneaking in on him and watching him sleep. He's violated so many boundaries with her over the years but still is uncomfortable and stunned when his boundaries are violated. Big hypocrite Jarod is but I love him. So does Miss Parker. Yay!
Reviewer: Lacy Signed It's so absolutely just like Miss Parker to want to heal herself, fix it on her own and trying to remember. It's so hard to read but it happens so much in real life and the awareness is important. Jarod ... it's so like him to want to fix others, including her. These two. Ohh and you write them perfectly.
Reviewer: Lacy Signed Speechless I am. That was the most meaningful sexual act I've seen EVER. It was hot, too. It's just... wow. I'm speechless. I love it. Oh Mirage thank you.
Reviewer: Lacy Signed I'm so relieved that Miss Parker understands that Jarod has no choice about leaveing, but I also think maybe she wants to leave, too in some ways. The sweet trio are leaving isolation and we're all in it. I kind of want us all to be in it together you know. I can't WAIT to see what happens next. Please update soon. Thank you for all you've done, coming here when you don't feel well and writing for us and sharing with us. Big hugs Mirage.
Big hugs back atcha, Lacy. The Pretender fandomly is the best. Thanks for the R&R, too.
Reviewer: Lacy Signed A past transgression jeopardizes Sydney's life.
Even when you try to "snap plausibility's neck" it still seems plausible. With the funding and the support and research it can be done. I don't think it's too offensive, not when the tv series played up incest. And fans like sibling incest, and related by blood is related by blood whether father and daughter or sibling, or cousin. It's all incest. I know you have to warn readers because some readers are so uptight and so easily offended, but I think anyone reading you knows by now that you're unpredictable and write dark content sometimes, and that you're unapologetic about it, and I love that about you. Tachy in the sheets. Yep, that's Jarod all right. This is delightful. You illustrate with words and have command of the characters. I kind of hope they are related this way and defy societal norms. They are victims. Thank you for this and thank you for being honest about religion. I was told I'd go to hell when I was really young and it stuck with me, gave me anxiety, depression and other issues. It was abuse. It still happens. It shouldn't happen. Everything you said needed to be said.
Reviewer: Lacy Signed This is my most favorite thing ever that has ever been written. I love how descriptive this is and the well thought out dialog , and the characters are the way they are on the television series but more developed and mature. My heart is full of joy now. Please write more soon.
Reviewer: Lacy Signed This is fire 🔥 so forbidden that I need it like how will they handle it ..I need to know!
Reviewer: Lacy Signed _
Oh I love that you include all of the emotions that the tv series has so it is more like there was a pause and then this instead of a stop.. it's like the show never ended. I need more!
Reviewer: Lacy Signed 
Amazing. Thank you for this. You are a life saver. I'm escaping reality with you.
I'm glad you've found my scribblings somewhat useful. Thanks for reading and reviewing.
Reviewer: Lacy Signed -
Oooh wow, please keep going. I'm so stoked!
Reviewer: Lacy Signed So damn addicting! I can't get enough of you!
Write quicker please ðŸ™ðŸ™ðŸ™ðŸ™ðŸ¥º
Reviewer: Lacy Signed
Finished business.
You not only wrote an astounding missing piece and story you did it with like 82 words?! I love this fandom even more for the moments like this one. Completely in character Jarod doing what Jarod does best, basically mainlining sugar and caffeine. I can't tell if he intended to kill rapistguy this way. I'm guessing not if he was sending the taped coerced confession to someone and Melissa intercepted it. She must have suspected it was incriminating for Jarod so rapistguy must have died first and then she intercepted the tape and watched it?? and destroyed it to protect Jarod??? So she had to leave her house?? But the only reason she left her house probably is because she found out rapistguy is dead and that death freed her. Happy endings Mirage. I love them too. Congratulations! I love this. Thank you for finally sharing this with me!
