This is fantastic! I really enjoyed the use of second person, which is surprising for me. Simple but elegant writing, great characterization, and a wonderful central idea. I've loved a lot of your pieces; keep up the amazing work and thanks for sharing!

Wow really good. beautiful. WHo's the girl? A new character, or one we've met before?

Aw! I love this. :) ^watery, teary, happy fluff filled smile^ :D GREAT story!

This is so Artemis, you characterized him pretty much exactly.

I loved the style and you even made this point of view very interesting and nice.

I love the thought behind it and enjoyed it emensly.

*stares* ... *stares some more* this ... this ... this.is.real! No, it is not your everyday love story but this is Artemis Fowl II. That is him! I'm ... still shocked!

This is a work of a true author. You made it so... meticulous and deeply intriguing. I adore it.

This is brilliant, has such emotion and soul to it. I believe it perfectly depicts the true meaning of absolute trust, and maybe love as well, at least for Artemis. This is such a refreshing change from Arty falling head over heels in love, stuttering, stammering, doing anything for her - that's just so not him. I also like your use of the second person - you don't find that very often; it makes it all the more touching and personal. Please write more fics like this.

That was really beautiful, too. I love the way you write ;).

The thoughts are short of short but interact with each other, so even at the end of each paragraph I feel like I can anticipate more for Artemis' lover's thoughts and feelings on the same object: Artemis, only in, sort of different ... feelings? Oh I don't know, all I know is that I loved it and I believe you are possibly the greatest writer ever.

I'm also really really interested in the "flicker"!! Is it the true love ~ feeling? Passion? Something that people who truly live out life to the happiest extent feel all the time, and Artemis, with his super smartness, can only feel briefly? And at the end, the "flicker is gone. And you don't miss it in the slightest." Those last statements have so much meaning, and all the meanings that I've come up with probably don't live up to its true meaning in the slightest.

I really really really love this one ;D.

I don't know if you got across what you were trying to say or not, but i love the story! it's obvious why you were nominated for an Orion! good luck!

Beautiful. Nothing else can describe the pure brilliance that is this fic. You are a wonderful author and pieces like this deserve awards and I am glad to see that yours had. Beautiful.

beautiful...i loved it. and suddenly...lots of things make sense 2 me, even in my relationship. thank you.

Shmaa! I feel so guilty I didn't review before - you deserve it! I see no possible flaw at all, and the emotional power of this just makes my heart ache. Love, any sort of love, is exactly like what you've described, and what you've described is bliss. =3

O, this story is really great. I really like it!

awesome I loved it it's just soul touching and I'm emotionally stunted

that was incredibly insightful. i believe i'm going to be intrigued by this concept for a long time.
