Amazing
Sr frustrated me much

That analysis of Minerva is mostly wrong, she wanted a nobel prize yes, but she Also wanted to save lives, both Human and demon ones, she just had very incomplete information, her only prior exposure to demons before capturing N1 was N’Zall, who was basically feral murderous and while clearly sapient seemed utterly controlled by his urges, he convinced her that he was a typical demon in attitude, and in fact was an elite of their specie, from that information Miranda concluded the demons would be unreasonable in their desire to murder all humans.

Now Minerva knew that with time all the demons would be pushed back to Earth, and if this happened they would then proceed to kill as many humans as they could before being taken down, this would be a bad end for both demons and humans, thousands or even tens of thousands of humans would be murdered, and the humans having been murdered en mass, would be inclined to kill every single demon, this is a bad end, demons go extinct, innocent humans get murdered.

Minerva however had an alternative plan, capture a demon before they all get thrown to Earth, make sørge existence of demons public, argue for the fact that they’re scientifically valuable and so should be studies not killed, and turn over her research on how to predict their arrivals, so they don’t have a chance to murder, and so no one hate them for murdering people, this is still a bad end for the demons, but a less bad end for them, since at least they’re alive, and no humans get murdered.

Now after meeting N1, it really only took her less than a day to begin considering if N’Zall was not a good representative of his people, and so they weren’t in fact near animals it was okay to lock up for their own and others safety, and the reason it took that long, was probably Also that she didn’t have an alternative plan, that would not end with all the demons dead.

Now the fact the faeries can take in the demons change everything, but Minerva didn’t know faeries existed, so her plan was really to earn a nobel prize, by saving a sapient specie from extinction, and saving lots of humans from murder.

She was absolutely wrong to trust Kong, but she wasn’t wrong in her plans, not with the information she had.

That time limit is supposed to be for death, fairy magic can heal Old wounds, what it can’t do is revive you after more than a few minutes, nor can it reattach severed limbs, if you have a brokken bone, the time from the would don’t matter, but the tissue in a severed Lumb is dying, so the longer you wait, the harder it is to reattach.

Personally I Think it’s less that Artemis Senior is disappointed in Artemis, and more that he now see his past crimes as regrets, and since he love his son, of course he don’t want Artemis to end up regretting much of his life in 20-30 years.

Fantastic! even more so because its completed. This was a good read worth the fav

Damn...this chapter just made the plot deeper than i expected

Incredible story, you managed to really portray the characters

Artemis Fowl was a large chunk of my childhood. I had all the books and read them regularly, still do sometimes for old smiles, laughs, and tears. So many good memories. What I haven't found much of was good fanfiction that did young master mind any justice. Till now. This was such a delight to read that I'm happy to have read it and upset that it's over. quite a quandary, no?

Thank you for taking the time to write this and posting it for others to see. So, so many gems like this aren't posted for a plethora of reasons, some real, some imagined but still hidden and never to be enjoyed. I'm glad you did. Thank you

*Slow Clap* masterpiece

Another fabulous chapter! I'd love to see another fic in this universe!

Called it!

Ugh, Artemis and Holly's conversation was SO GOOD. The briefing was so good! Everything is so dang well-done it's like reliving my childhood

Dang, that was terrifying

Dang, this is really really good! You nailed the Artmeis perspective/scenes, and the Avengers ones were good too (they felt own-brand for Avengers, it's just a tonal shift from the Fowl scenes, and I prefer the style of the Fowl ones. I also think they're harder to nail, since Artemis is such a specific and difficult character)

“Rewriting timealso, without any physical evidence people are going to intentionally ’forget’. (They’d rather believe it’s a delusion than knock out the foundation of how they think the world works)
