It is delightful to see this fic update. There’s a certain feeling in the writing itself thats unique. It feels thoughtful and flows very seamlessly in a way that reflects talent on the part of the writer.

Yessssss it’s good to see Juliet with agency. She’s giving off fantastic older sister vibes and I never realized how much I wanted Artemis to have that until now

I love how you did research of the city in question. Also blown away by the fact that this is the first AF fic I’ve read where I remember any new fairy swears. The original elements of your fic complement the canon storyline beautifully, and give it new meaning. Like Artemis’ decision to kidnap a fairy, not only is the motivation to restore the family fortune there, but there’s also a new desire to bring Butler up to speed with the whole magic thing (as well as test out how he reacts to and regards magical people) . It also as implies a sort of longing on Artemis’ part to connect with magical people who might be less melodramatic and murderous than the council. Artemis and Mulch’s earlier meeting definitely adds a bit of tension to the plot, the mud kid left a rather good impression on Mulch and I imagine the poor dwarf will be very confused at the whole kidnapping thing.
You’ve also shown the possibility that Artemis could have been blown up on the ship with his father, which is delightfully chilling.

I like how spooky Angeline seems in this chapter. In the beginning Angeline and Artemis the First seemed like a poor match, but it seems like they both have an unnerving side to them. Artemis seems to have inherited both of their unnerving sides

This story has a very unique feel, I love how otherworldly the mages feel. Also major kudos to Artemis for attending the meeting, taking a good look at the mages, and going “yeah no, not happening”. The mages see themselves as inhuman to the point that I’m seriously wondering if they’re just vampires with magic, and while Artemis is involved with them, he’s also very much so respects other humans, as much as he respects anyone. He’s not some lost kid who sees the mage’s society like some sort of Narnia that makes the rest of the world boring.
Love the idea of Artemis being a necromancer. Just the aesthetic is on point. Also really like his and Mulch’s interactions.

Maybe Art can make a Skeleton Troll with his necromancy?

I like the idea of Artemis selling off parts of his soul for his magic. Though, it would be interesting to know the structure behind it, since it leaves me with a few questions in my head. For instance, is every magical use an exchange for a part of himself, or just certain levels of power? Is there a workaround for it, or even a way to reverse it? With his magic seemingly focused on undeath, how would it react to Hollys, who's magic comes from life?

Just some things in my head reading this chapter. Love that it's making me question the world building.

Hah, I like this. Artemis isn't an angsty teen or a child, as so many stories portray him. I'll be eagerly waiting for the "necromancer" portion of the story - hoping you don't make him suddenly go all emo skulls and bone, or at least have a reason beyond theme - and the inevitable clash with the Tuatha de Dannan and the Fear Darrig. I imagine having access to how Fae replenish their magic might help Artemis in some way grow his own? Maybe some sort of ritual designed to TAKE as opposed to simply wield the earth's magic? Hmm, if this was on something like SpaceBattles I'd write an omake of him and Gaea in a sort of negotiation, "Give me magic or all my companies start dumping toxic waste" or something like that, just for lols.
Anyway, love the story, hoping you continue it soonish :)

Honestly great work really informed creation with a lot of twist. It is a respectable piece of work and in my mind feels like a great au to the fowl universe.

The movie was out, not extraordinary, but it is a great video fanfiction for the books.
I like your style,and i like the little psychological inputs. A necromancer (Dresden/The Spook's Apprentice style) Artemis tingle my fantasy senses just right.
Good job on the sleeping/coma scenario, a little different aproach, but the scene is a bit mainstream in ff.
Keep up the good work, and i wait for the sequel!

I'd REALLY like to read more (I really was impressed by your writing style) so I ho?e there will be sequel

I'm enjoying the story, but it feels like whenever Artemis is in trouble, magic is always a viable solution, becuase I don't know what he can and cannot do. The human magic system feels like it's been left largely unexplained.
