I'm trying to get this translated. I can read only a litte German and would like to read this completely and give it the review it deserves. I've heard it was good.

I've spent the morning reading this entire series through this part and will pause here to share my thoughts. Mirage, I have a lot of thougths. I think you continue to improve and don't know how when you started off in top form. The dynamics of the show are easy to understand but there are nuances that I didn't think would ever translate to writing. These are characters who communicate with expressions, gestures, and movements. We see them sit hard at bad news and even the official novels don't really SHOW Jarod's expressions and movements or any of the characters really. We see so much through Jarod's expresions on the tv. You capture not only the dynamics of the show but the emotions, movements, expressions as well. I've seen others say that reading you is like watching the tv show all over again and it is. I sincerely request more.

Their child is extremely intelligent and has her mother's gumption. She won't be thrust into a role she doesn't want. She's right, too. She is a little baby. All of this speaks to the plausibility of the story, cements the character as a real person and she is real enough to see. You end this somberly with Jarod back in full Jarod mode and I think by now we all know that you don't like that version of Jarod and Miss Parker really never seemed to either so that struggle continues. I'm curious about how all this will play out, if Miss Parker can tolerate all of Jarod, all versions or if it'll come to a head, become too much for her to deal with. The whole dilemma continues for her and for us and I'm glad that you haven't strayed from the television series. You fill in some blanks and ahhhh what can I say. Mirage, I think I love you.

You are too humble and modest. It's not fanfic. It's fiction. Stop calling it fanfic. I didn't see any typos. I've addressed your notes now I'll review this chapter.

I said already how natural they are and they are. In this chapter they continue to grow closer and become more familiar. I read this and it seems so easy but because you're not a shipper it probably wasn't easy for you. I want to thank you for doing what isn't easy and listening to your Muses.

Now I need to talk about Margaret the most complicated character. She is going to be doubtful. We saw her run from Parker in fear in Scotland so we know somethings up but you've done an astounding job of fleshing her out and developing her and I love her now, I empathize with her. I know why she's behaved the way she has. You give us the missing pieces and they fit perfectly.

Overall this chapter was Jarod in full psychiatrist mode and it's amazing how he detaches himself from the personal feelings and slips into the other skin. I was going to say a little weird too but he did this with her in the past before they were in love. I think they were in the Keys when he offered to help her remember, something about infomercials and he was talking about traumatic memories and Parker looked really put off and dislocated a thumb to escape and we know she must have really not wanted him to talk to her like that. What does that say about her? I think it says there was loads she didn't want to remember and was afraid for him to pull it out of her. I'm giong to rewatch the entire show again with your writing in mind. It makes sense.

Hmmmmmm. So I heard you don't like Jarod?? I read the first part with scenes with Jarod and Cate and kept thinking Mirage doesn't like Jarod? Really? Hmmmmmmm. Not even a little bit? Do you realize what you've written? What Jarod did for his daughter is beautiful and I'm a big muscular, bearded, tatooted ugly biker but you made my eyes get misty. She was terrified of storms and he didn't force her to confront the fear or any of that. He did it the right way and in a safe way so she knows that storms get some respect but that fear isn't really necessary. You can make fun of me and call me a whimp or a girl but it's a precious scene between father and daughter. How on earth did you think to do this for Jarod and his daughter and for all of us? It's really heart warming.

Young lady that took an unexpected turn. This is beautiful. They didn't do the rip each other's clothes off mambo. In this story with their pain and struggles right now they needed to like you said cling to each other. They are broken a bit and I can't explain. If I were you I'd be able to articulate my thoughts.

This intimate scene doesn't have the usual heat and that's good and appropriate. It isn't meant to. This came from another direction, a deeper direction. I think this was so intimate and meaningful for them that even we the witnesses to their decades long saga aren't allowed to see their entire lovemaking scene. We're like kids eavesdropping and we know the adults are making noises and doing stuff but we can't really see what all is happening in there. I'm still not going to accuse of you being a Jarod/Parker shipper but Mirage I think we all really want to. How about we crown you an honorary shipper? Don't kill me please.

Bravo. You're going to update this aren't you? I binge-read this, stayed inside when I should have been on my electra glide in the countryside. Please update.

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 

You're in top form 💪 as always. I'm an action man and you always deliver!

Cheers mate!

Young lady this is a compelling story from the first word. You're the one that always draws me back. Splendid work as always. 

This is really intense and hmmm you're not a Jarod fan? I beg to differ. You've got him down pat. You have all of the characters down to a damn science. You know them well and where to put them. You really go the extra mile with descrptive work too and describing mannerisms and expressions so that we can SEE the characters.

The pain, remorse, agony, fear, anger, mourning, and rage that all of the characters are experiencing right now is palpable, real enough to touch. I want to hug all three of them, but I know Parker would deck me if I tried.

Oh, young lady, you always yank me back here. The dialog is crisp and concise and I love how Jarod is trying to wrap his mind around all that has happened WHILE on his way to meet Parker and motivate her to stay and fully recover. Pain management and wound care alone is worth it.

I wonder now if she'll see him at home and let him help her, or if she's going to stay with Beth and Hudson and let them help her. I think it would be strange for her right now, and she never seemed to appreciate Dr. Jarod all that much. She hates doctors.

I love the exploration and that you take me where I've never thought to go, and it's somewhere fresh and original. Dare I ask for more?
