Wow. Wow, wow, wow. This is beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.
The whole time I thought it was Artemis in there. I was wondering what it would be that would turn him against everything he was fighting for... and then I was a bit confused about the magic part, and the Book part, and the clone part, most of all. But wow. Totally did NOT see that coming. I didn't even know that the clone was just a figment of Opal's imagination.
When I first started reading this story, I was apprehensive because it was in 2nd person. I hate 2nd person POV. But I think I'm going to have to make an exception to that. The 2nd person POV really helps the air of mystery and confusion and weird, bittersweet drifting. (That makes a lot of sense...) When the 1st person POV came in as well... at first I was just more confused, but that worked out, too.
You really have a lot of talent. Not a lot of people can write something like this and have it come off as thought-provoking and just slightly disturbing rather than overdone and corny. It's hard to write about characters becoming crazy without it seeming unrealistic or overdramatic, but you managed that.
I just LOVE your writing style in this! But seriously, see a shrink. How can you write something so disturbing? Then again, I should probably see a shrink of reading this and loving it... xD Just kidding.
Um... I've pretty much exhausted my nonsensical compliments, so I'll just leave you with this: amazing, one-of-a-kind, unique, spine-chilling 'fic you have here. Superb job, and thank you for writing it. You're a very, very, VERY talented writer.

P.S. Sorry for all of the probable typos. Your story was so awesome that I spaced and forgot how to type properly. xD

so... how/why did our poor little arty kill holly? it must have been pretty disasteroius to have murdered holly and trouble in one fell swoop.

gone off the deep end, eh? *rolls eyes* typical mud men...,

I really liked that a lot.
"Could there be anyone more worthy of your love, after all, than yourself?"
I think that's a question we all ask ourselves.
And I was glad that you made Opal not into a cold-hearted, insane killer, but someone who could still think and feel.
And what she did seemed to me something to redeem herself. Great job.

I like it. It is fitting in a dark sort of sense. It was an interesting concept, and also a true one.The only person Opal could love was herself. The second person tense is innovative as well. All in all, a good, thought provoking read.

wow that is really really good, I don't know if I would of liked you to use names but then that would lessen the power of the story so for now i'm content

Wonderful, absolutely wonderful fic!! *claps*

You had me confused a while there... and the Argon and Cumulus having a field day part. Though I think that was your purpose. :D

HOT **, I'm stupid. I didn't understand the fic, and had to read it three times to understand the A/N answer, and then I had to read the reviews before understanding it. Still, I'm dissapointed. I love Arty/Opal.

WOW. I ~ can't ~ believe it. You confused me so much there, but in the best way possible! At first, I 100% believed that it was Artemis who was falling in love with Opal. But then the last line went, "Could there be anyone more worthy of your love, after all, than yourself?" and it just completely threw me off. Also, there were hints earlier, but goodness! You did an amazing job!

How did you come up with this? I'm just so happy and speechless that I got the chance to read it. Opal in prison facing her clone! I absolutely know I could have never ever ever come up with something as ingenious as this, and for all I know, you're probably Artemis Fowl the Second yourself and I'm just some happy-go-lucky admirer whose IQ is negative one thousand and you're some all-knowing God I absolutely adore! 10!

I really loved it! A lot! ;D

Really, really powerful. And very confusing. I would have never thought to write something like this, and if I did I'd write it really badly. I need to read it again now, to understand it a bit better.

Congrats on a fantastic fic.

... Oh mah~ Clonecest~ .:ASPLODED:.

Just stunning. I mean, like, y'know ... And then it was lik- Well, it's really good. Don't ask me to expand because I'll confuse myself. But, yes. Highly original and such. Your style is just neat! So keep writing to make me happy. Plskthx. c:

OHmigod. At first I was like, "What? Who did Artemis kill? Guess it's an AU..." And later, "Oh, SHITE! It's not!?" I seriously was thinking the whole time, it's so twisted, this isn't right, Artemis is being mangled, it must be someone else because this is too sad for him, but who else could it be? All brilliance on your part. I've never had such a violent epiphany moment before. Hehe. Great job with the mind trick.

Great story!

Weird,but well written.

Just reread after... Ages. Damn, I wish I could give this some kind of super-favourite or something. xD Anyway, just felt like speaking up once more. Kudos on... Er... Making me review again. Definitely cooler the second time 'round, when you're not reeling over who the hell it is and getting all confused. Maybe now I'll have to go over His Son's Father again. ;D

(M! Boredom!)

Okay, it took me a sweet time to figure out that the imprisoned person was realy Opal (the human thing threw me off, I totally forgot that part of TOD)... but I didn't realise that the "newcomer" was the Opal clone until you pointed it out in the A/N's. *feels stupid*

Sorry for not being constructive, but: great fic. :-)
