PARKER AND LYLE PERSONAL SPACE INVASION AALKFJASLDFKJF


ps, Jarod is a crazy pants. HE IS A PSYCHO.


In other news, I uploaded my yuletide story! And I think it is okay. So that's cool.

This is an offer for fic. Work has been slow, of late, and now that yuletide is in I'm coool. So, if you would like me to write something: character or pairing, fandom, prompt. No guarantees.

If you love Mister Lyle like we love Mister Lyle, you should totally go and download (or at least admire) Lethal and Young - A Mister Lyle Mix by piecesofalice.

The soundtrack is AWESOME and so is her artwork, and also her commentary on the selection of tracks.

OH BOBBY. He should totally stop pretending on Wisteria Lane and high tail it back to the Centre.

Which reminds me, if you've never read the fic by melanie_anne about Mister Lyle pretending as Mike Delfino, it's here and you totally should.


Do you like my new icon?


Keywords: [pretender] world on fire - piecesofalice
he will set the world on fire (burn his sister, burn her lover, burn their father)

If the fancy takes, feel free to write me some fic about Mister Lyle, by which I mean, PLEASE write me some sort of fiction gift. This week is very busy, and very stressful, and I would appreciate the momentary distraction. It doesn't have to be about Mister Lyle!

Silence in the Revelation by Pen
The Pretender/Children of Dune, rated G. Miss Parker.
I own none of these characters.

This is for zeplum. See what happens when you make a suggestion, and I'm bored and feeling down?

So, the Month of Pretender is almost over! This is sort of boo, but I'm sure many of you will be glad, since you don't care about the show at all.

This post is an attempt to interest you in the show, complete with visual aids and an explanation of the show's premise.

There are brief spoilers for the series in this pimp, but they are for the most part limited to relationships (and I'm not talking about the romantic kind).

There are pretenders among us. Geniuses with the ability to be become anyone they want to be. In 1963 a corporation known as the Centre isolated a young pretender named Jarod and exploited his genius for their research.

( And then one day their Pretender ran away )

If you've never seen the Pretender before, I recommend the following vids (two of which are embedded in this post):

These four by StuckHereWithNoTV make a really nice set to start with. Follow You Into the Dark is about Miss Parker and Jarod's bizarre, destructive relationship, and the way they care about one another even when they're not supposed to. Best I Ever Had (Grey Sky Morning) is a different spin on the same thing: it's Jarod and Miss Parker's relationship, but a more positive spin on the way they relate to one another. I Hate Everything About You showcases more of the insanities of the Centre.

I recommend all of this vidder's vids, if you've the time and inclination. They have a fantastic grasp on all the characters, and manage to convey the sick complexities of the Centre in tiny moments.

The final of StuckHereWithNoTV's vids that I recommend is Everything Burns, a brilliant look at Miss Parker and her awesomeness. This is out here so it can be coupled with Back in Black by Leochick, a fantastic Mr Lyle vid. It showcases his insanity and his awesomeness perfectly. And it's a brilliant song choice.

Zsa-zsa makes some fantastic vids. Her vid page is here. My favourite is Uninvited (scroll to the bottom to find), a slow, depressing look at Parker and Jarod, with some beautiful Miss Parker cuts.

Darling Ness handily picspammed the first three seasons (by season): one, two and three.

This is my Pretender tag in my journal; these are the fic recs I've made. K has a lovely set of Pretender links here (including some vid recs), and Tahlia's list of links for the Month of Pretender can be found here.

ETA: Genius! Ness has uploaded the credits here. They are the second and third vids.





There was that time in the Everglades I tied you to a pole. Or was that last Saturday?
