So, those of you who have zero interest in The Pretender, I hope you've noticed how I am strictly restraining myself - I only post once a day about the Pretender, no matter how much I have to say or how excited I am!
Today, I would like to talk about Jarod and Miss Parker (yes, I know you're surprised).
I was just watching this vid by StuckHereWithNoTV over on youtube. It's a Miss Parker vid to Alanis Morissette's 'Everything,' and as it started I thought, what a terrible song choice, so slow and sappy and it's Alanis. I was so wrong - this vid is surprisingly perfect, and I was amazed at how much I enjoyed it.
I think the funny thing about Jarod and Miss Parker's relationship is that it isn't the sort of thing you can see; there are no hugs or kisses on the forehead, and there are no light touches or anything like that. Through everything, even though Miss Parker is driven to recapture Jarod; even though he hates the people that she works for and even though she's really mean, he still loves her, in his way. And their love is in the silence on the phone when she answers late at night, in the distance between them when they meet, in the things he leaves behind when he runs and the way he always comes back.
Sometimes I consider that their relationship is unequal. Jarod is always the one feeding her information; he's the one with the power to infiltrate the Centre and the one who could disappear at any moment. However, she has exactly the same power, she just chooses not to use it. She loves her father too much, and she fears what the Centre will do to her if she leaves, whereas Jarod fears what the Centre will do to him if he stays.
In my head, sometimes they meet where the Centre can't see them; footsteps echoing through a dark alley; nonsensical messages left on voicemail; hotels on the other side of the world. And of course, as the director told us, Jarod clearly had a key to the back door of her house. In my head there are scratches on his back and bite marks on her shoulder; he handcuffs her to the bed and she never, ever calls in sick. And one day he'll disappear and there'll be nothing left of him but a thousand stories with happy endings and her, bitchy and bitter and fighting with her brother, and it's then that she'll show them what she can do, because she'll disappear, too, and it'll be for her, and not for him.
And then she'll find him and they'll have wild monkey sex.
On a related topic, I think that Gar (the albino Sweeper) totally suspects that Miss P and Jarod are conspiring together.
Finally, remember that awesome BSG vid Breathe Me? I love it so much when I can watch vids using the same song in different fandoms, and this morning I watched this vid, also by StuckHere, using 'Breathe Me' for the Pretender and it's cool. Not as awesome as some of her other vids, but still good.

Parker seems to trust him implicitly. She left Debbie with him when Broots was on the run.
It's nice to discuss tP with people. It seems to be a dead fandom :( (and there doesn't seem to be anywhere to post fic)

We could perhaps create a comm, and see what happens?

You do have to join to post, but it's not spammy. Last I checked there were still a couple hundred people subscribed, so it's a pretty good forum. At least one of the "old" names (Ginger) posts her stuff there, still.

Too long ago for me to remember names...except for Ness (long time friend) and Roxanne Longstreet Conrad (who I was thrilled to stumble across on lj).

Your fic, "Redshift"
I enjoyed it. I am always intrigued by Young Miss Parker stories. As well as stories which involve her mother, Catherine, and other characters who IMO, deserved so much more "Screen Time" on the show.
Re: Your fic, "Redshift"
And I'm feeling embarrassed about my neediness. It's just been about a year since I've posted anything and it's been such a struggle to get even 400 words out. Need to get over this lack of confidence thing.

I am sort of hoping that with the release of the DVDs, it'll regain some popularity.
