Loading ...19. Seperation after Reunion?
“Holly!” Artemis hugged Holly back and sobbed into her hair, “Oh, I’m sorry. I apologize for leaving you to face the peril alone. I am truly sorry.”
“I forgive you with all the love of my heart, Artemis.” Holly held Artemis’ head in her hands, then looked at Minerva,–or rather, herself–”But first, we need to switch our bodies back, get revenge, and explain everything.”
“Of course.”
*Author’s note: I’m sorry to say that I can’t really add violence to this so I’ll just let you fans imagine what happens to Minerva. =] Thanx! (I mostly imagine her get beat up by Butler. XD)*
::
“Oh, it’s so good to be back into my own body again, Arty.” Holly looked at herself and inspected every source of pain, especially her eye, “Ouch, I give a really good knuckle sandwich, huh?” She touched her eye and winced at the sting of pain.”
“Yes, I know exactly what you mean,” Artemis pointed at his own eye, still a bit bruised from her last punch.
“Oh, sorry.” Holly looked down at her hands and felt Artemis lift her chin and kiss her. They stayed like that for a couple of minutes until they were both out of breath.
“Wow.” Holly said.
“Minerva’s kisses were nowhere as good as yours, Hol.” Artemis touched a finger to her lips.
“Oh, really?” Holly raised an eyebrow, “Are you sure? Because we can try again if you want…”
Artemis threw back his head and laughed.
“Now, please tell me how you managed to conveniently have a body-switching gun that was the exact same as Minerva’s?”
“Because I have a replica of everything I own.”
“Really, now?” Holly smirked, “So where’s Arty number two?”
Artemis pursed his lips, “Funny, Holly.”
::
A knock on the front door caught everyone’s attention. Artemis and Butler exchanged glances as Holly’s face paled to an extreme white.
Butler opened it to reveal Trouble and Foaly at the door.
“Hi. Hello. Sorry to interrupt but we have to take a certain Holly Short down to Haven.” Foaly eyed Holly. Holly gulped.
“Now, will you please come with us?” Trouble nodded to her.
“What is going on?” Artemis stepped in front of Holly, “Holly isn’t going anywhere.”
“Oh, on the contrary.” Trouble pulled up a piece of official paper, and read, ”‘Because former Captain Holly Short resided outside of Haven, she was stripped of her fairy powers. But in order to contact a certain Artemis Fowl the second, she called powers from the fairies of Haven as an action of the Sharing Act of Fairies, which enables a fairy in a crisis to borrow small amounts of power from his or her people. The concequence of such action results in immediante leave of its residency with the Mud Men and return to Haven, staying there forever or until his or her death.’”
*Author’s Note: Yes, I know that last part was confusing. Just wait until the next chapter before you go “wha?” on me. Thanx. =]*

This story first started in the old Fan Fiction site and when someone told me they were going to shut that down for this one, I immediately transferred my story here. Back on that site, Never Say Never had the highest hits and the most reviews. I hope that will be the same here.
Please review and/or give suggestions. I’m happy to read and reply all my fans. Enjoy this romance story and enjoy my other story as well, Disaster at First Sight. Thank you!
February 26th, 2007 at 1:04 am
Yippy! I’m so glad its back this is one of my favorite fanfics! Write more whn you can I cant wait too see what happens next!
February 26th, 2007 at 1:05 am
Thanx!

I like the story honestly. Did you ever read the Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan? Well if you did this makes Rand look decent(For those of you that didn’t read TWoT Rand has 3 wifes basically.) I mean the times Holly and Artemis carres it would make Rand and Min/Elayne/Aviendha cry.
Just don’t make so many kissing parts and I will find it a lot better.
March 2nd, 2007 at 3:09 am
Uh,how old is Holly?And how old is Artemis?Hmm…Compare their ages.More than 800 year difference.Besides that its great.
March 2nd, 2007 at 3:13 am
Actually, Holly’s only between 80 and 90. Which is about 70 years difference, not 800. Your point is still valid, I just wanted to point that out.
March 2nd, 2007 at 3:26 am
Oh,well she is still IMENSLEY old.
March 2nd, 2007 at 3:26 am
So true, did A/H like… in the book… love.. eachother.. Im behind on the books really… Still looking for fourth one and im caught up in a Ludlum book and Knife of Dreams (part 11) of the Wheel of time Series.
March 2nd, 2007 at 7:23 am
The most fluffy romance novel you would avoid like the plague…did absolutely no research, so obviosly a world wide hit. OK, forget the part about research and world wide hit. it was about a 5.5 on a scale of ten.
March 3rd, 2007 at 11:41 pm
Its realy…well…GUSHY,and….and,well,mostly GUSHY!
March 4th, 2007 at 1:13 am
Could you please write some more i want that Minerva pounded to a pulp. By Butler.
March 4th, 2007 at 2:05 am
I agree with Skaknez. please write more
March 6th, 2007 at 12:05 am
I still like it, but plz hurry with chapter 16
March 10th, 2007 at 7:01 pm
I’m extremely trying. My parents only allows me on the computer for two hours now. They think I’m on too much. (Gee, where did they get that idea? XD) And this story has been out for a long time so I assumed no one would read it anymore. >.< But I guess not. I promise I’ll have chapter 16 up by this week. Writer’s promise!
March 11th, 2007 at 3:57 pm
Minerva kinda sounds like a rat name,oh well,it suits her.
March 12th, 2007 at 10:42 pm
Hurry up and write the next chapter!!!
March 13th, 2007 at 12:36 am

March 19th, 2007 at 10:29 pm

March 20th, 2007 at 12:10 am

April 1st, 2007 at 7:38 pm
PLEASE HURRY!!!
April 2nd, 2007 at 5:55 am
Sorry! I’ve been gone for a while, haven’t I?
Sorry again!
Here’s some replys to some stories…
To Athena: no wayï¼My stories will ALWAYS have a good ending. You’ll see! ^.^
To PetiteBrunette：Thanx for the comment though I am curious…did you write this comment before the one you wrote in my–unfortunately now deleted because no one seemed to like it–story, Smart Love? I know that one was bad because I pressured myself into doing it. Please understand, don’t hate me, and keep reading my stories!
To ArtemisLuver: It seems you have been waiting and checking in for a long time and been my fan for who know how long so…I’ll add chapter 19 just for you! ^-^
April 3rd, 2007 at 8:57 pm
Thanks! But Chapter 20 is blank:(
April 4th, 2007 at 1:03 am
hey i remember reading Smart Love but just can’t remember what is about. If you refresh me a little I believe I will remember. What was my comment?
April 4th, 2007 at 1:37 am
JUST HURRY UP AND KILL MINERVA! I DON’T CARE ABOUT THE SPELLING MISTAKES AS LONG AS MINERVA IS DEAD BY THE END OF THE STORY!! WHAAAAA! YOU’RE MAKING ME CRY, AND WHEN I CRY, MY COUSIN CRIES, AND WHEN SHE CRIES, MY DOG CRIES, AND WHEN MY DOG CRIES, ROGER CRIES, AND WHEN ROGER CRIES, ARTY CRIES, AND WHEN ARTY CRIES I CRY EVEN MORE, HOPING HE’LL HUG ME! SO HURRY UP WITH CHAPTER 19 AND 20 AND THE OTHERS! Damn, I love Caps Lock!
April 6th, 2007 at 6:31 am
OMG I MUST KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!!! IT IS KILLING ME! DIE MINERVA, DIIIIIIIIEEEEE!!!!
April 8th, 2007 at 7:53 am
i like it this chapter keep going
!@!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
April 9th, 2007 at 3:42 pm
Hm…seems like a good plot, even if I’m a Minerva fan, although I’m more of a non-shipper. Still, if Arty HAD to be with anyone, I would go for Minerva. Anyone but Holly…I just can’t see it.
Good story though
April 10th, 2007 at 11:36 am
*shoots the real Minerva for no particular reason* BWAHAHAHAHAHA! *wheeze*
April 13th, 2007 at 5:25 am
ONCE AGAIN, I AGREE WITH YOU THE III PRODIGY, DONT FORGET THE ARTEMIS AND MINERVA STORY THAT I’M WRITING, IT MIGHT BE READY IN A MONTH IF I WORK ON IT WITHOUT POSTING IT CHAPTER AFTER CHAPTER, BUT IF I RELEASE THE FIRST CHAPTERBEFORE I FINISH THE REST OF THE STORY AND RELEASE IT ONE CHAPTER AT A TIME.
April 15th, 2007 at 10:30 am
plz hurry up and write the next chapter
April 15th, 2007 at 8:23 pm
Chapter 20 is blank! Hurry up! WRITE THE STORY!!!
April 25th, 2007 at 5:03 am
Whoa! I’m really and sincerely sorry, guys. I’ve been a bit busier than I expected. >.<
But I’ll add chapter 20! And chapter 21! I promise!
And if you REALLY want me to continue the story, encourage me by emailing me (no flamers) at drawingpup@gmail.com
Thanx!
And here’s some replies to come commenters:
To HollyFowl: That’s…um…confusing…
To PetiteBrunette: I deleted Smart Love because there were too many flamers and I have to admite, it wasn’t my best job either. And it was about Artemis and Minerva. Now you see why it wasn’t my best job. XD
To Foaly: I feel as if you commented only to advertise your own stories…because you didn’t really say anything about mine…
To all of my wonderful readers: THANX AGAIN FOR ALL OF YOUR SUPPORT!
April 27th, 2007 at 2:18 am
Pleez write the next chapter!
April 27th, 2007 at 9:13 pm
I had to read the last part 2 times before I got it. What is Artemis gonna do? WRITE! WRITE AS IF YOUR LIFE DEPENDED ON IT!
April 28th, 2007 at 1:56 am
ALTHOUGH I’M A M/A SHIPPER, I MUST ADMIT THAT I COULDN’T PRY MYSELF FROM THE SCREEN, IT WAS JUST WRITTEN TOO WELL FOR ME NOT TO.
April 28th, 2007 at 3:50 pm
Let me try to help you and your writers block.
Artemis has fairy technology, right? So make him chase after Holly in a stolen shuttle. Then have him take Holly back. Have them go hide somewhere where the LEPrecon can’t find them. (The Alps, perhaps)
April 29th, 2007 at 2:35 am
Thanx, Artemis Luver for your suggestion! I’ll be sure to keep that in mind.
April 29th, 2007 at 3:24 pm
You don’t have to use my ideas, though. When I get writer’s block, I write out a bunch of I deas on Paper, and cross out the ones I don’t like.
April 30th, 2007 at 10:11 pm
I capitalized ‘Paper’!
May 4th, 2007 at 11:11 am
XD Well, it is very important…
WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN??? *falls off chair in anticipation*
Don’t worry, I fall off my chair a lot. I have a cushion handy now for when it happens.
May 5th, 2007 at 3:08 am
I dyed my hair dark brown with red on the bottom. Kool.
May 5th, 2007 at 4:12 pm
um…okay…
May 14th, 2007 at 1:12 am
WRITE THE NEXT CHAPTER! WRITE AS IF YOUR LIFE DEPENDED ON IT! WRITE LIKE THE WIND! PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZ! I BEG OF YOU!
May 16th, 2007 at 2:26 am
I cant believe it. It’s like fate is working againts them. Artemis better get his brain working.
May 23rd, 2007 at 12:23 pm
I wonder what would happen with the door…
Seriously, what happens?
May 26th, 2007 at 2:28 am
A giant ax falls from the roof? Thousands of machine guns?
Who knows?
May 26th, 2007 at 9:22 am
wow!!ULTIMATE FAVE! THE STORY IS SO COOL.FAB WRITING AND IM A A/H SHIPPER COZ SHE IS COOL AND MY NAME IS HOLLIE.
May 31st, 2007 at 11:18 am
Wha’ happens whe’ holly stix ‘er ‘and out the door?
May 31st, 2007 at 8:57 pm
Poisens? Explosives? Explosive poisens?
June 13th, 2007 at 11:45 pm
omg chapter 15 is so weird
June 24th, 2007 at 10:08 am
I just love it!!
June 25th, 2007 at 11:52 pm
It’s very well written, just a little too lovey-dovey for my taste. Also, some of the chpater titles are a bit ill-fitting. But extremely good, just the same.
June 28th, 2007 at 3:52 am
This is a good representation of a good a/h ship. for that, i commend thee.
but (only my own humble opinion) i never imagined arty being that…nice. he’s emotional, romantic, and a gentleman in this story. holly has lost her sauciness, artemis has lost his calm, cold logic and clipped sarcasm. for me, that’s what i was looking foward to if there ever was a a/h ship: their unique personalities bouncing loudly off each other. Arty is logical, Holly is instinctive, he’s quiet, she’s loud, he’s a computer geek, she’s a tactical genius, etc. You’ve made it what i’ve always dreamed: them in each other’s arms, sighing happily and smooching. Which I have no problem with, personally. He’s just…too much of a gentleman.
Sorry about that. Believe me, critisism hurts me more than it hurts you. On the good side, you’ve managed to carry on a good plot through a long story, and you don’t lose our interest. That’s really good.
July 2nd, 2007 at 4:37 am
Wow, Jo (Inkweaver or Inky), I am so happy! Your comment has just made my day. I’ve been straining for hours trying to figure out what was wrong with my story or what was missing and you’ve found it!
Thank you so much for your, lacking a better phrase, constructive criticism. Now I can write A/H stories with realism and content.
July 8th, 2007 at 2:38 am
this story is the best and i mean the best of all the storys i’v read so far (which is a LOT)
even thou i think u have just made me a A/H person in stead of a H/T person….
u rock!
July 11th, 2007 at 11:19 pm
great very very very very very very very very very very very very very ah you get the point strange
Minerva very messed up Am I the only A/J supporter ?
July 18th, 2007 at 8:00 pm
is chapter 26 the last one?
July 19th, 2007 at 6:58 pm
I hope not! This is my favourite story
July 19th, 2007 at 7:02 pm
Pleez write more!
July 20th, 2007 at 2:57 am
Chapter 26 is definitely NOT the last chapter in this story. But I’ve already gotten ideas for the sequel. *squeal*
But, unfortunately, I lost it so I’ll be spending the next couple of days trying to get it back.
Cross your fingers!
July 20th, 2007 at 10:10 pm
What do you “forgot”?
July 21st, 2007 at 12:42 pm
Minerva must die! On this day of July the 21st, Minerva Paradizo shall be burned at the stake, for commiting the act of witchcraft,by decree of the King. Her ashes will be thrown to the winds and scattered across the known universe. May the King of Buttons have Mercy on her unforgiving and unworthy soul!
July 23rd, 2007 at 9:22 pm
Funny, Holly. I agree. DIE MINERVA, DIE!
(even though I am a Artemis/Minerva supporter)
July 24th, 2007 at 6:33 pm
i like artemis alone and wishing rather than with anyone. he is funnier alone. i hate minerva and i like holly and trubs. gd story please write more it rocks!
July 24th, 2007 at 7:00 pm
I think if anyone is in love it’s Trouble and Holly, and Artemis and Minerva.
July 29th, 2007 at 12:27 am
I just don’t see a Holly Trouble relationship…Holly is better off alone…Artemis is more functional alone. I can’t even remember Holly talking to Trouble much in the books…(soory to all u h/t fans!
)
July 29th, 2007 at 11:41 pm
please dicuss this on forums… geez. WRTIE MORE!A
July 31st, 2007 at 7:05 pm
btw eoin colfer has announced that holly and touble will get together in the 6th book

August 15th, 2007 at 4:25 am
I just didnt like all the kisses.there were soooo many.but that was a great story.(even if I am an ARTEMIS/MINERVA.srry,but really they go from kidnapping to kissing srry)it was really a great story though!!!
August 22nd, 2007 at 3:52 am
I think you did an extremely good job on this story!! It’s very consistant, not to mention enthralling!! I ADORE the pairing.
For anyone who’s interested, If you write a AF based romance with a Holly/Artemis pairing, you can e-mail it to me (chunkymnky014@aol.com). I’ll email your rating back to you, and the top 5 will be featured in the DA newsletter appearing in October.
September 4th, 2007 at 5:09 am
Is it just me or is there missing part. Like when Holly asks to share a room with Artemis instead of the guest room. I loved that part!!! It want dirty or anything!! Whyd you take it out??
September 5th, 2007 at 5:02 pm
this story got shorter. and i didn’t like it as much as the first time cos it is actually quite a predictable storyline but i suppose it would be hard not to be.btw u should think about an a/h ship cos it is kinda more believable to me lol and u r obviously good at writing romances i also like note. short and sweet. u r very talented lol
September 5th, 2007 at 6:18 pm
im your no1 fan CONTINE PLZ!!!!
September 7th, 2007 at 12:39 pm
Y did ya get rid of a chapeter???? it was great1!!!
September 10th, 2007 at 12:58 am
Y u shorten it and chnge a few chapters? I swear! U changed chappy 10 completely..I liked it the way it was originally. Or did the mods make u change it? Oh wel…..I guess we will all have to live with it the way it is…
September 10th, 2007 at 1:01 am
and since chappy 10 was changed so was chappy 11. PLEEZ PLEEZ PLEEZ CHANGE IT BACK!!!!! PLEEZ PLEEZ PLEEZ PLEEZPLEEZPLEEZPLEEZPLEEZPLEEZPLEEZPLEEZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’M SURE THE OTHER’S AGREE WITH ME….
September 11th, 2007 at 10:51 pm
I’m really sorry for the change but I took out some kissing, requested by way too many and since I had to scale it a little more down and away from rated R.
And I’m sorry if it’s predictable now.
But at least a lot of you already read the original Never Say Never. ^-^
September 12th, 2007 at 9:56 pm
yeah, I guess it’s better now…..
October 2nd, 2007 at 10:56 pm

November 15th, 2007 at 7:08 am
i kind of like it but i don’t like how you make Minerva seem like a cruel person. i’m an A/M shipper and i find it very disturbing. other than that it’s alright.
November 15th, 2007 at 1:14 pm
nice story….ur a very goood writer , but I agree with artyfowl3 really. I’m NOT a h/a shipper ….. actully..anyway .. Holly and artemis together like that freaks me out. Otherwise , cool story!
November 18th, 2007 at 2:46 am
Only 1 or 2 people said it was too much, and besides, the vast majority said it was great! you can check yourself!
January 13th, 2008 at 12:24 am

Sorry wuz just havin a bad day and needed to take it out on someone and this was the first story I read again so sorry
January 17th, 2008 at 1:34 am
I din’t like your story because I don’t think that artemis would act that way and neither would Holly.
February 12th, 2008 at 10:58 pm
I’ve atarted reading it now! I like it. Moderatley good.
March 6th, 2008 at 11:31 pm
Drawingpup,would you mind telling me what the old fanfiction website was?
April 8th, 2008 at 1:07 am
kay dude that last chapter was just sick
April 8th, 2008 at 1:10 am
kay, did you read the twilight series cause this sounds so much like them (in ways you will never understand
May 9th, 2008 at 4:46 am
I wish you would update
May 24th, 2008 at 2:45 am
Does anyone know where Drawingpup is? I check this story everyday in hope that she’ll update, but it never does. I check her other stories, too.
July 10th, 2008 at 11:11 pm
I think I read this on Artemis Fowl Confidential.com.
July 20th, 2008 at 9:09 pm
i really don’t think holly and artemis belong together. get minerva into the picture (in a positve way) quickly!
October 20th, 2008 at 2:45 am
Excuse me while a grab a bag to puke in. Nah, just kiddin’ Wow. There are a LOT of comments on this thing not as much as a week on the farm but it’s still like, #7 on the top tens. I am about to be a hypocrite. I like the romance stories and all, but I hate how they sometimes get too…………(struggles to find a word)…………………fluffy? No No gushy! that was it, gushy! Hmmmmmm I wonder if the Editors checked ALL of these comments….
perhaps I’ll leave a double comment just to see. Nah, I wouldn’t do that. My interpretation of what happened to Minerva? The french girl cowered from the tall man in the all black suit.
“Please don’t kill me. I have money surely I can out-buy you?”
The assassin replies “When you hire Agent 47, you hire the best, not only because I get the job done, but because I show loyalty to my employers.”
Minerva swallowed, pulling at the bonds digging cruel welts on her flesh. “Please, please.”
“Sorry, kiddo.” the hitman said. “If it were up to me, I’d make your death quick and painless, but bosses orders are to make you suffer.”
Minerva’s face paled at the meaning of this message. “No, surely not, please no.”
The man grinned nastily “Sayonera sweetheart.” He flicked a switch from a remote and quickly left. A wall-sized tv turned on and was tuned to a channel that would show every episode of Hanna Montanna. The virtual blondy began to screech out horrible lyrics doubled with her wretched singing voice.
Minerva screamed for several minutes then, she did an unspeakable act…
