Very well written.

Cute and sad at the same time. Love the feels and how real this is although I would never know cause my dad's the best thing in my life other than me and my mum. They are the most precious parents anyone can ever have.

I liked how this story was both sweet and sad - and offers a plausible view of the Fowls family's dynamics before the series. Congratulations !

AWWWW That was adorable! I loved it!

I like this story but I have to say - it says Artemis has a respirator in. It's actually a ventilator and when a person is on it he or she can't speak.

Awww,
This a tally made me cry in the middle, which ussually only happens in horrible long term abandonment fics. To do it in a one-shot... well, that's impressive, but what's more angsty than a little boy striving for the love of his father? O.O *puppy eyes*

It was super nice

Don't worry, I think a lot of people aren't strangers to the neglecting father issue, I reckon Dads just don't pay attention to their children anymore(I too know this from personal experience). I really enjoyed your story, I like your writing style!
Hoping to see more of your wonderful stories soon,
Pao, your Mexican for every party!

I thought this was very well done. :)

This is truly a beautiful story.

*sniffles* this story managed to yank out more than a few heartstrings in me…

The emotions conveyed here are quite simple yet they are so raw and real that one can’t help but find themselves within the situation itself.

The relationship between father and child was heart-wrenching.

The father wanting to convey his emotions only to fail and simply ignoring them to the point of it becoming a habit…

The child always striving to be acknowledged, forced to grow faster than it should be and ending up a bit twisted and cold…

Great job! _

This is an amazing oneshot.

I loved it. And I know what you mean about the neglactive father isue. You did a great job of keeping the Fowl family in character. It was realistic and not to angsty. Great job.

That was so touching. You kept both Artemises in character very well. It's nice to see either of them show weakness. And seeing how Artemis felt before his father returned (something we don't get to see in the books) was quite refreshing. We can see how Artemis Senior became the more loving man he is now from the last part of your fic. However, I'm not sure Artemis Senior would've believed Artemis didn't need him after that hospital visit, and leave never to be found for at least a year. I feel like it'd be a wake up call to him, even if he doesn't show it.

Ohmygosh, I loved this. Dude, I wish this wasn't a one-shot.

Lol, "Your Asian for every occasion". xD

It was good. well-written, and whimsical in a good way. Characterization was very good.
