Artemis/Minerva

Story Details

Hi. This story is for those of you that support the “Artemis/Minerva” relationship. Please don’t start insulting me! *Squeal of fright* This is the sequel to Minerva’s Life.

Chapter One - Tragedy

Minerva gazed absentmindedly out the window of the library, twirling one of her silky blond curls around her thin finger. Waiting. She always seemed to be waiting. But tonight’s waiting would be worth it. She was going to see Artemis again.

This morning, Butler had sent her an e-mail, stating that Artemis was back. Minerva couldn’t believe her eyes. Butler had told her to meet Artemis at the library at 6 o’clock p.m.

Out of the corner of her eye, Minerva caught a glance of black hair. She whirled her head in that direction. It was Artemis! Hands in pockets, he was casually heading down the sidewalk. He appeared to be unchanged.

Minerva tossed her hair over her shoulder, and pretended to be consumed in a book. As Artemis entered the library and came over to her table, Minerva felt her cheeks turn red. Artemis pulled back a chair and sat down next to her. There was an awkward silence.

“You’re . . . you’re back.” Minerva quietly kicked herself for not thinking of something more intelligent to say. Of course he was back! If he weren’t, then why would he be sitting there right next to her? She put down her book and met his eyes. Wait a second! Why were his eyes different colors???

Artemis saw her staring at his blue eye and his brown eye and chuckled. “Yes, some queer things happened in Hybras. My eyes weren’t the only change. Watch.” He held up his finger, where there was a small paper cut, and concentrated. Two small blue sparks crisscrossed up the base of his finger and sank into the skin surrounding the cut, zipping it closed. Minerva gasped, then looked at him.

“Where . . . where did you learn that?”

Artemis smiled. “I . . . ah . . . borrowed it.”

“Borrowed it? But . . . how? I thought humans didn’t have the ability to use magic.”

Artemis started filling her in about what had happened in Hybras. He told her about Abbot, about how one of the warlock imps had been trapped inside him, about Holly’s “temporary” death, about how he’d learned to bring her back, and everything else. Minerva’s eyes widened.

“You mean that over there, in Hybras, only a few hours had passed?” Minerva asked.

“Yes.”

“Remarkable . . . ”

“And it changed some of our lives. For instance, Holly and I switched eyes when we were coming back from Hybras. Now we will always be part of each other.” Artemis’s eyes lost their focus. He was still toying around with that thought.

Minerva bit her lip in shock. She felt as if her heart had been cut open. Did Artemis like that fairy, elf, whatever she was, named Holly Short? And here she’d been thinking Artemis liked her! Minerva could not have been more disappointed. A tear rolled down her cheek.

Artemis, out of the corner of his eye, saw Minerva crying. “What’s wrong?” He laid a hand on her shoulder. Minerva dislodged his hand and stood up.

“I-I have to go, Artemis. See you around.” Minerva turned and ran, sobbing. When the librarian gave her a concerned look, Minerva tried to smile and said, “Pardon me, my allergies are acting up again.” Then she pushed open the library door, and ran out into the cool, starry night.

Artemis rose and raced after her, ignoring the librarian’s amused smiles. He finally caught up with Minerva at the corner of the next street. “Minerva, wait!” he panted. “Is there something wrong?” Then it hit him. Minerva must be angry at him when he mentioned Holly, thinking that he liked the fairy in a romantic way. But that wasn’t right. Artemis saw Holly only as a comrade, a friend, and nothing else. He’d better tell that to Minerva right now, or she’d hate him forever, and Artemis didn’t want that to happen!

Artemis caught her hand as she slowed down. Minerva gasped, “Let go of me! Leave me alone! Go be with Holly since you like her so much!”

He turned her around and kissed her.

  1. The III Prodigy Says:

    OMG!!! I LUUUUURVE this fan fic!!! It’s gonna be A/M right? Coz I don’t wanna waste my time reading another A/H. I love H/T…sooooo cute!!!

    Please update! I’ll be waiting!!! So sweet…you could edit some stuff like, in the first chapter, when Minerva asks like, ‘where did you learn that?’ about Arty’s magic, you could put instead of “I siphoned off some magic from the warlock circle and learned how to use it”, you can put ‘I stole it’, something simple sometimes does the trick ;)

    Great fic, update!

  2. xxemxx Says:

    My two favourite pairings are H/T and A/M and there both (by the looks of it) going to be here! I like the style of writing it’s not too depresing but you can see which parts are serious. Good Job update soon!

  17. Artemis Fowl the Genius Says:

    Yes, but how likely is it that that will actually happen?

  18. Artemis Fowl the Genius Says:

    When’s the 5th chapter?

  19. MInerva Says:

    When’s the 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, etc… chapter coming out?

  20. artyfowl3 Says:

    Awesome! You’re a great writer! I gotta check out more of your stuff. The only thing is I think you’re going a little fast. Just a little.

  21. artyfowl3 Says:

    Hurry up and write more!!!!!!!!

  22. minervagirl100 Says:

    LISTEN UP EVERYONE VISITS THE COMMENT SECTION!!! PLEASE READ THIS, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!! Thanx again for all the comments. But enough of that, I want to play a little guessing game with all of you who have read “Artemis/Minerva”. Post your answers here, in the comment section.

    You know how I left you all hangin’ at the end of Chapter Six - Traitor? Well, now I want you all to guess who stepped out of the shadows. It might be really easy, since I dropped about two big clues along the way. So guess people guess!!!

    Okay, so maybe this little game wasn’t really that important. But still ;) You never know what can get other people’s attention! :)

  23. Domovi Says:

    After reading to the end of chapter six a few questions pop to mind, first, why did Minerva team up with Opal, second, I thought that you were a non Minerva-basher, in fact, to me, you seemed to be a M/A shipper, third, How the heck did Opal escape jail?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
    !?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

  24. Domovi Says:

    ANSWER: Opal Koboi

  25. PetiteBrunette Says:

    Opal Koboi of course but i dont get why would minerva do that isnt she in love with Artemis.

  26. artyfowl3 Says:

    HOW CAN U LEAVE US HANGING LIKE THIS???? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!
    i need 2 know!!!!!

  27. The III Prodigy Says:

    Huh? I thought you were an A/M shipper???!!! Or will she turn good? This plot is pretty erm…unlikely, and a teensy bit cliched, since if it’s Opal Koboi, well, she’s already returned once, no?

    And the characters are a bit outta character as well. *shrugs*

    Tell me if it’s gonna be A/M, coz I really hate fan fics where Minerva’s the antagonist and the baddie.

  28. Domovi Says:

    Please tell me that this is an M/A story!

  29. artemis Says:

    HOW THE HECK CAN YOU LEAVE US ON A CLIFF HANGER LIKE THAT!! THAT’S JUST PLAIN TORTURE!! PLEASE UPDATE!!!!!! QUICK!!!!!!!!!!!

  30. Domovi Says:

    Would you mind tellng us wether this is going to turn out to be a minerva-basher story or not?

  31. lil.artey Says:

    YAY i like this story….update plzzzzzzz i and others r beggin u to update….U ROCK!

  32. minervagirl100 Says:

    Just keep reading, people. Sorry I haven’t been able to update the last couple of months. I was doing something else for school. But now that school’s over, I can focus on this a little more. And read the seventh chapter if you wanna know how Koboi got into all this and why Minerva is acting all weird. And I apologize if this fanfic is starting to sound really stupid and pointless. By the way, I am still a M/A fan! :)

  33. ilove2write Says:

    HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM……..Well I do have to say that it was good but if you look at your comments often then you should read Betrayal the perfect A/M relastionship right??? Well we will just have to wait and find out. But personaly my opinion and this has nothing to do with you is that Minerva should die plain and smpile but good job very very good

  34. Holly Says:

    moooooooooooooore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  35. artyfowl3 Says:

    I must say, your writing is both very accurate and impressive. I await your next chapter with great anticipation.

  64. Jeremy Says:

    The story is quite “gripping,” and quickly held my attention. Have you ended, or do you plan on writing other chapters? If so, I look forward to them.

  65. computerzandbks4ever Says:

    this is really something!
    the only thing is that minerva is a little ooc, but then again, no one knows much about her.

    keep going!

    i wonder if minerva herself can write as well as this
