Hartemis

Hartemis is the het ship between Artemis Fowl II and Holly Short from the Artemis Fowl fandom.

Artemis Fowl
Artemis II, along with his bodyguard, Butler, end up kidnapping Captain Holly Short, an Elf in LEPRecon, while she is performing The Ritual (something Fairies have to do to replenish their magic). They keep her in a cell at Fowl Manor, telling her Commander, Julius Root, that in order to get her back, the Fairies will have to pay him one ton of 24 carat gold. Root declines, and initiates a Time Stop to rescue Holly.

Artemis tortures Holly psychologically to sap the spirit so that she doesn't run away: Holly is baffled by his apparent cruelty, while Artemis feels guilty about what he's doing, but the ransom gold he needs to search for his missing father. Holly finally manages to break free and also to hit Artemis feeling great joy in doing so. However, she cannot leave the house, because Artemis forbade it and the laws of magic force her to submit to his will as long as she is in his house. After a series of daring events, Artemis manages to get the ransom, and Holly tries to convince his collaborators to abandon him, as her superiors have decided to eliminate all her captors. However Butler and his sister Juliet remain at the side of the young Fowl, who, however, agrees to give Holly half the ransom; in return she uses magic to heal Artemis's mother from the depression her husband disappeared into. When it seems that all the humans who learned of the existence of the People died Holly feels strangely saddened by the death of Artemis; when, on the other hand, she discovers that he has been saved, she is not saddened by it, but is furious at having been cheated by a human boy.

The Artic Incident
A year after the abduction, Holly still has a rather strong grudge against Artemis. As soon as he discovers that the Goblins use human-made batteries, to make illegal weapons work, Holly immediately thinks that Artemis is the human that supplies the goblins. Holly then picks up Artemis and his bodyguard Butler and takes them to the police station for questioning. When it emerges that the two have nothing to do with the battery trade, Commander Root decides to get help from the two in the investigation, Holly reluctantly agrees. However, the fact that Artemis is trying to save his father, moves Holly who lost her own father years before, and during the venture the two begin to tie up. In particular, when Holly loses a finger, Artemis finds a way to give it back to her, and when the group is forced to temporarily abandon Artemis Senior's rescue operation, Holly tries to console the boy.

When it is necessary to draw up a plan to stop the Goblin uprising, Holly relies on Artemis to recognize his skills and when she returns to emergency she helps him to save his father. Holly comes to jump into the Arctic waters to save Artemis Senior and to heal his wounds with magic.

When Artemis thanks her for all the help she has given him during their adventure, Holly seems embarrassed and happy and since it was thanks to Artemis if she got her finger back, allowing her to continue being a policewoman she gives him a coin he punches with a gunshot, telling him to keep it as a reminder that he is a good person after all.

The Eternity Code
When Butler the bodyguard of Artemis (the person who is dearest to him in the world, after his parents), is mortally wounded during a shootout Artemis immediately thinks that if he could he would call Holly to come and save him, but having neither time nor certainty that Holly would work, he decides to attract a LEP agent to the surface, for help. Fortunately, is Holly who is assigned the task, but she claims to know why Artemis did not call her on the personal line, and in the end admits that perhaps she would not have come.

Holly initially does not believe it is possible to help Butler, but then Artemis manages to convince her. After the healing, the bodyguard is unconscious, and when Holly says that she must investigate another strange fact, Artemis declares that she can help her and despite being dangerous and against the rules, Holly brings him and Butler home in flight.

Holly: Did you supply People's technology to a thug like Jon Spiro?

Artemis: ''I didn't give it to him ! He took it.''

Holly: ''Don't act like a victim, Artemis. It doesn't suit you.''

Once Artemis revealed that the criminal billionaire Jon Spiro had stolen a supercomputer created thanks to technology stolen from the LEP and that this computer detects the technology of the people, Holly gets angry with him refusing to recognize that Artemis was also the victim of the situation.

''Artemis: I'm not like Jon Spiro. He is a cold-blooded killer!''

Holly: ''Wait till you grow up. You will get there too.''

When Artemis declares that he is not a cold-blooded murderer like Spiro, Holly declares that growing up he will reach that level of cruelty too. Eventually Holly agrees to help Artemis to recover the Cube, but the commander Root who unofficially authorizes the mission in exchange for Holly's help in the recovery mission, claims to erase the memory of the people from the mind of Artemis and his associates.

While organizing the plan Artemis and Holly prick each other as usual. When her friend Foaly asks her if she will miss Artemis Holly she says no, but she is lying, as her gaze says. For the success of the plan, Artemis allows himself to be imprisoned by Spiro, and when Holly goes to free him, she perfectly foresees what Artemis will do in order not to make her discover, just as he perfectly predicts what she will do to free him.

For the success of the plan, Artemis allows himself to be imprisoned by Spiro, and when Holly goes to free him, she perfectly foresees what Artemis will do in order not to make her discover, just as he perfectly predicts what she will do to free him. As they say, this is proof that they know each other well by now.

It seems to Holly that Artemis feels guilty and suspects that he is hiding something from her. The elf's suspicion turns out to be right, when Artemis admits that the only way to recover the Cube is to cut Spiro's thumb, and then have Holly hang up on him with magic. Holly is furious and disappointed that Artemis deceived her during an operation, but in the end the boy and the centaur manage to convince her.

In the end Artemis is forced to attract Spiro to the building of a competitor company. Holly follows Artemis' plan, and saves him from Spiro at the last moment just like he had planned. The cube is recovered, and Spiro thrown on the pavement and arrest. According to the agreements, the memory of Artemis, Butler and Juliet is canceled.

Artemis at that point points out that by erasing the memories and the influence of the People he could go back to being what he was before knowing them. Holly is worried about the possibility and almost quarrels with the commander. He then uses his powers to find out from Artemis if he has done anything to preserve his memories, (thanks to a stratagem the boy manages to get away with it), and he feels guilty in questioning him in that way.

It doesn't seem right to Holly to erase young Fowl's memory and she is very sad about what she did.

The Opal Deception
When one of the goblin generals escapes Holly, she also puts Artemis among the suspects of those who might have helped him to escape, and the idea worries her to the point of draining the blood from her face.

Shortly after Opal Koboi a pixie who had contributed to the goblin revolt, trapped Holly and Julius by announcing that she intends to eliminate Artemis and Butler, and that she has prepared a trap for them too. Opal kills Julius by making Holly blame. Before he dies, Julius orders the elf to save Artemis, but she makes a futile attempt to save the commander first.

Holly finds Artemis and Butler injured after escaping Opal's trap and takes away the first one, being able to hide only him, very sure that the boy is the only one able to stop Opal's plans. Artemis when he wakes up is informed by Holly of the circumstances of their first meeting, and he fears that she wants to take revenge on him, but the elf shortly summarizes the events of the last two, and although he doesn't remember anything, the boy believes her. However, after a few exchanges of jokes, Holly begins to feel irritated, telling herself that Artemis manages to make her nervous like no other. Artemis declares himself ready to help Holly, but claims to be paid for it; it hurts the elf but eventually agrees. Shortly after the two are joined by Opal; Artemis pretends to want to work with her, and Holly gives him the benefit of the doubt, but Opal still stuns them and then takes them to a Troll's lair, to make them devour them.

Despite the desperate situation, Holly does her best to cheer up Artemis, who begins to feel attached to her. When it seems that there is no longer any chance of salvation, Artemis pretends to remember Holly, but she understands that he is pretending but thanks him for his kindness, when they are rescued by Butler and their dwarf friend Mulch Diggums. Artemis then tells Holly that she doesn't want rewards for stopping Opal Koboi. At that phrase for the first time, since Commander Holly's death, she smiles with sincere warmth.

Thanks to a reminder that she had entrusted to the dwarf, Artemis recovers her memories, and is ashamed of having kidnapped Holly, and after telling her that she remembered everything, she apologizes for asking her to be paid. Holly is happy about it, and when a few tears escape after Artemis made her condolences for the loss of Julius, he feels even more determined to hunt down Opal Koboi.

When the group finds out about Opal's project to bring humans into contact with the people, Holly is ready to turn herself over to the police to be able to inform them, but Artemis and the others manage to dissuade her, and in the end Holly entrusts Artemis with the task of devising a plan to save her entire civilization. This shows how huge the trust that Holly puts in Artemis and his intelligence.

Artemis' plan is successful and therefore Opal's fails miserably, as does his attempt to take revenge. During all this Artemis just needs to hear the tone of Holly's voice, to understand when there are problems.

Artemis: ''Julius would have been proud of you. It's up to you if Haven City is still standing.''

Holly: ''Maybe. Perhaps if I were if I had been a little smarter, he would be here today.''

Holly is still very saddened by the commander's death, and Artemis does everything she can to console her, telling her that she has no responsibility for Julius's death. Eventually Holly's innocence is proven, but she still decides to leave the police and become a private investigator, and Artemis agrees to consult her.

The new police commander, unlike Root, does not appreciate humans very much, and makes Artemis and Butler sedate before sending them home amid Holly's protests. Before Artemis passes out, the elf has time to give him a transceiver, which Holly uses to contact him as soon as he wakes up. Holly apologizes for the sedative, and when Artemis says it doesn't matter, since there was no harm, she comments that young Fowl has changed.

Holly needs help with her first case and Artemis after noticing that you never call him to greet him, asks her if they can postpone since her parents have just come home, and wants to greet them. Holly pretends to be angry but agrees.

The Lost Colony
Artemis actively collaborates with Holly in her private investigative activity. It is clear that the relationship between the two becomes increasingly friendly.

When she discovers that Artemis has briefly traveled through time, she is concerned that he may have been stuck in the past, but Foaly immediately reassures her.

Upon reaching Artemis, Holly asks him to know about the demons and he explains that the spell with which the demons had moved the island where Hybras resided, outside of space and time is running out and that soon the island will return to Earth. Most of its inhabitants will die on the journey, but by capturing the survivors, humanity will discover the existence of the People. Holly is doubtful that Artemis doesn't want anything from them in exchange for her help, but in the end, the boy admits that after all the exciting adventures they have lived, he is bored with leading a normal life. Holly agrees, since as a private investigator she didn't find the same emotions she had as a policewoman. Holly says that Artemis is the best person to rely on to prevent the existence of the people from being discovered, and even if a little annoys her, follow the orders of her friend to free No. 1 a demon who has arrived in reality from Hybras. Obviously Artemis's plan succeeds and N 1 is released, but one of those who had kidnapped him due to a misunderstanding believes that the demons have killed his older brother, and swears revenge, threatening to kill his former employers, if they don't get him a demon right away. Artemis cannot allow this and therefore decides to lure Kong into a trap, using N 1 as bait, with Holly's approval.

Artemis: Holly, do you trust me?

Holly: ''Don't ask me such a question, Artemis. I know you're about to come up with one of your absurd plans.''

Artemis: Do you trust me?

Holly: ''Yes. More than anyone else.''

This could jeopardize Holly's new career, and endanger N 1 but she accepts by openly saying that she trusts Artemis.

This plan also succeeds, but due to a series of consequences Artemis, Holly, N 1 and Qwan (a sorcerer like N 1 who had been on earth for ten thousand years in the form of a statue) end up on Hybras. Upon arriving Artemis worries about Holly's condition, as time travel can have bad effects on the body. Holly initially doesn't listen to him, but then she notices the boy's almost affectionate tone and is surprised. The group seems stuck on Hybras but Holly is sure that Artemis will find a solution immediately (obviously it is). Then when the evil demon Leon Abbott sends his army against them Holly does her best to calm Artemis, as she always does when they are in serious trouble, which the boy recognizes.

During the discount Abbott kills Holly who invokes the help of Artemis who completely ignores her. In reality the boy is upset but does not go to his rescue because he knows that he could not do anything. The spell that keeps Hybras suspended out of time is fading and thanks to this Artemis is able to change the past, knocking Abbott to the ground allowing Holly to capture him. Artemis fears that altering the timeline will have consequences, but thinks he will put up with them because the alternative is too horrible.

To Holly's concern, Arteis has absorbed some magic, and using the magic of Holly, Abbott, Artemis, Qwan, and N 1 it is possible to undo the spell and bring Hybras back to earth in the present. Artemis manages to contribute thanks to Holly and as their minds connect during the journey, the elf discovers that Artemis has caused a time paradox to save her, and thanks him. During the journey the two exchange an eye and when Artemis says that her magic has run out and that she can't fix it, Holly thinks about it, saying she is relieved that Artemis no longer has magical powers (actually Artemis still has them, he's lying).

When they discover that they have returned to earth two years after their departure, Holly comforts Artemis by saying that all the lives she has saved are worth a few years' loss. Before each of the two returns to their homes, the boy and the elf hug quickly, but affectionately.

The Time Paradox
When Artemis' mother appears to fall ill with a magical disease, Artemis makes Holly believe she was the one who made Angeline Fowl sick. Artemis feels guilty about what he has done, but he only does it to save his mother, as otherwise Holly wouldn't allow him to travel back in time. The only cure is in the body of an extinct species of lemur, and the last specimen to Holly's horror was killed by Artemis who, in order to pay for research for her father, stole the animal and sold it to a group of Extinctionists.

After Artemis and Holly travel to the past, they attempt to get the Silky Sifaka Lemur, JayJay, from Artemis's younger self at the zoo. While there, Artemis gets attacked by a silverback gorilla. Holly heals him, and then gets so ecsatic at his survival, along with her new teenage hormones in the mix, that she kisses him.

Later, after Artemis reveals that he'd tricked Holly into coming back into the past with him, she gets angry with him and refuses to talk to him for a while, being cold and hostile during the moments they are forced to communicate. After the pair make up (due to Artemis suggesting to her to call Captain Julius Root, who was alive in the time they were in), Holly tells Artemis that they were even, but his elf-kissing days were over. Opal Koboi of the past pursues human and elven in the present, to recover the lemur that could increase her magic, but Artemis deceives her and manages to defeat her. Holly reaches him after he wounded himself in the fight and takes him home after treating him. Foaly comments that they could take advantage of the fact that Artemis is asleep, to erase his memories again, but Holly vehemently opposes considering the boy a close friend of all their people, even if the centaur admits that he was joking and asks her what happened in the past, but Holly comments that she isn't ready to tell him yet.

The Atlantis Complex
Artemis develops a mental disorder called Atlantis Complex that involves extreme paranoia that leads him to distrust everyone, even Holly. Later the disease leads him to develop a dissociative identity disorder. His alter-ego Orion appears very much in love with Holly.

Although Holly is annoyed by Orion's coaxing when she offends him she tries to make up for it. Once Artemis's personality regains control she apologizes for all of Orion's "Useless babbling", declaring that he has no idea of her source, but Holly doesn't seem very convinced.

Holly appears quite worried about Artemis despite the group finding themselves investigating mysterious attacks in which they were involved. Later the two end up under mind control by Turnball Root and Artemis makes sure that Orion regains control of the body, since his mind is not subjugated. Turnball forces Holly to confront Orion and she is confident that Artemis would never shoot her. However, Orion does so, even if only to put the elf out of action.

When the emergency is over, Artemis is hospitalized and Holly tells him that even if he has committed bad actions, he would not do them again and that she and all her other friends will be by his side, while he takes the cure to recover from the Atlantix Complex.

The Last Guardian
During Artemis's therapy, he and Holly make it a habit to visit Nopal, the clone that Opal Koboi had created to take his place in the Argon clinic where Artemis is also being treated. When Artemis heals, there is a sighting of a version of Opal from the past and the group reunites at the power plant. Holly immediately asks Artemis what she thinks of Opal's new plan. Thanks to Artemis it is possible to reduce the effects of Opal's plan but not to prevent her escape. The group discovers that Opal's plan includes the Fowl house and eventually Holly agrees to help Artemis return. When Butler calls it "The Shooting Range", Holly glares at him, as Artemis' family lives in the shooting range.

Holly risks a lot to bring Artemis home and he also follows her most absurd reasoning, a sign of how well he knows her now.

Holly risks a lot to bring Artemis home and he also follows her most absurd reasoning, a sign of how well he knows her now. When she must prevent them from being possessed by the spirits of the Bersekr warriors, Holly first protects Butler who possesses the strongest body, mentally apologizing to young Fowl.

Artemis' group manages to capture Godbaw a warrior who has taken over the body of Myles, the little brother of Artemis. To convince him to dislodge Myles' body, Artemis threatens to soak him in melted animal fat and dwarf saliva - a concoction in which his soul will remain trapped for eternity. Holly tries to convince Artemis to wait but he is ready to do anything to get his brother back and eventually Gobdaw lets himself be persuaded. The group then ends up in a trap, even though they are saved by their dwarf friend Mulch Diggums. Eventually they get away with it, and throughout the danger Holly always tries to cheer Artemis.

Artemis still manages to come up with a plan, which however leads to his probable death and decides not to say anything to the elf because he knows she would try to stop him. The idea of having to lie to Holly in their last conversation hurts him, but when her friend asks him if she has a plan of her, she tells him that unlike usual he must inform her of all the details, he tells her he hasn't come up with a plan yet.

Holly eventually finds out what Artemis wants to do and furiously tries to stop him by drugging him and trying to take his place. Artemis, however, had foreseen this move and had given himself an injection of adrenaline to counteract the effect of the sedative. Soon after, he is the one who sedates Holly, who cries before losing her senses at the idea of losing her friend. Before leaving the boy gives her a kiss on her forehead, telling her to give it to Foaly and to remind the centaur to feed the cocoon.

Artemis: ''I want you to know, my dear friend, that without you I would not have become the person I am today. I was a wicked boy and you made me right. Thank you.''

- Artemis to Holly before going to face Opal.

Artemis's plan succeeds and Opal is killed failing to cast a spell that would exterminate humanity, but the spell cast that frees the souls of the bersekers also kills Artemis because she has a Holly eye in her body after the return trip from Hybras. The elf who in the meantime has recovered tries a bailout.

Holly: ''What cocoon is it Foakìly? And why does Artemis care so much?''

Foaly: ''Why does Artemis care? Present tense? Our friend is dead, Holly. Shouldn't we let it go?''

Holly: ''Let it go? Artemis didn't let me go when I was in Limbo. He did not let Butler go to London. He didn't let the entire town of Cantuccio go during the Goblin revolt. And now tell me, what is this cocoon?''

As soon as she returns home, the elf brings the message to the centaur who in the end deduces that through the saliva Artemis left her the DNA necessary to create her own clone, in which they can insert her soul, which remained in the world of the living due to the residues. of the magic that had held back the souls of the people's warriors. It takes six months to be able to decode and follow the instructions of the young Fowl, but in the end it succeeds and during this time Holly is obsessed with saving Artemis. Eventually Fowl's greatest plan succeeds and it is Holly's voice that draws her ghost. It takes a while for Artemis's memory to come back and Holly begins to tell him about their adventures in hopes of making him remember them.
