Subtly heartbreaking, and simple, and really, really good. *dances* Make me get all sappy damn it...

ah...arty seems..normal, lmfao. nah, its pretty sweet. gud riting and kee it up purdy plz?

Oh gosh, that was so sweet! I loved it! *sighs happily* It ended on such a happy note! I loved the ending so much. The poor child is happy again.

Beautiful story, it's great! I love it! Update soon!

Awesome!! I heard this read out loud on the Artemis Fowl podcast, but it had more of an effect when I read it myself. That is not meant to insult the reader of the fanfic on the podcast. I just like seeing things for myself.

whoa, awesome! the first fanfic that makes sense. good work.

(Sobbing) That...was...wonderful. (Sniff)

wow...this is just like I imagined it! Thanks for putting it down in writting.

Aww! Poor Butler! He wants a son!
That reminds me! I have to go work on my newest fic! Bye bye!
Great fic, BTW!

*growls* why are you so bloody talented? that was wonderful. as usual. please write more soon. it's so nice to have authors like you back and writing again...

Kitty! Sque!

I saw the fic, clicked on it, read it, loved it, decided to review it, wondered who'd written it, and went... Well, I already did that. :)

Oh, this is lovely. Just... lovely. The characterisation is spot on, for everyone. The subtlety of the relationships and of Butler's POV in this piece is just perfect. It's so ever so slightly sad as Butler is marginalised in his own perception of Artemis' opinion of him.

This is perfectly complete by itself, but I'd love to see a sequel based on the events of TEC - Butler dying, Butler waking up, Butler just before the memory wipe: seeing *that* expression on Artemis' face, and finding out he's going to forget he ever saw it... M.

Con crit: Erg, I can't think of anything. Wait - the last few sentences, I actually had to read a couple of times to work out what was going on. At first, when I read "even in those private moments when the two were alone", I'd thought you'd meant when Artemis 1 and 2 were 'alone' together, and Butler got to see those because Butlers don't really count in the head-count. [/confusing] I got it eventually, but it just confused me at first. Perhaps you could say "when he was alone with his charge"?

Lovely. I'm glad you decided to share.

total points, props, cookies, whatever you want to call them! WE NEED MORE BUTLER FICS OUT HERE! This one it totally amazing with none of that fakeness that some people put in...im going 2 go eat chocolate and celebrate!
