Okay, this is a song fic based on the beautiful song So Close by John McLaughlin on the Enchanted soundtrack. Listen to it. It pretty much rocks. I don't own the song, or Artemis Fowl. If I owned Artemis I would be the happiest girl in the universe.

You're in my arms, and all the world is gone.

The music playing on for only two.

When you're with me, in my arms, it's like there is nothing else in all the world. Only you, and only me. There are no ignorant, stubborn souls. No rules. No hatred. There's no one giving us dirty looks as we walk together, hand in hand. I can forget about all of that. When I'm with you.

So close together, and when I'm with you, so close to feeling alive.

You broke me. Your warmth broke my icy shell, cracked my frigid cruelty. Yet, you did not leave me broken. You fixed me up again, warmed my soul like a fire on a cold day. I was reborn when I met you. I only feel truly alive with you by my side.

A life goes by.

Romantic dreams must die.

So I bid mine goodbye.

I had given up any hope of having you. You always seemed impossibly out of reach. Agonizingly unattainable. So, I said goodbye. I branched off. Tried to replace you with that blonde French girl. God, what a mess. No one was you, and no one ever will be. But then you were there, and by some miracle you wanted me. I said hello again.

And now, forever, I know all that I want is to hold you so close.

You are all that I want. Forever and always. I hope you want me for eternity too, but, alas, if only fate weren't so cruel. My life will come and go, and I hope you can find peace without me.

So close to reaching, that famous happy end.

We are so close, love. So close! I know we are wonderful for each other. Perfect. And when two lovers have each other, isn't that all they really need? Surely, the obstacles can't be so bad if we have each other. Can they?

Almost believing, this is not pretend.

Yet, although I am in utter bliss during the time I spend with you, I still sometimes think this cannot real. How did we ever manage to get this far? What on earth did I ever do to deserve you? I was evil, a right little brat when you met me. Sometimes still I am not an altogether great person. And yet, you love me anyways. How can this be real?

Now you're beside me, and look how far we've come!

Look! Look! Look around you at all we have done! We have overcome it all, to be together. The People's rules, the ignorance, the pure and utter hate. Sometimes I think I have ruined your life. Very few of your kind will so much as look at you without revulsion burning from their eyes. But then I see your face, see the love it contains, and it makes it all worth while. Holly, we have come so far...

So close, and still...

So far...

We're here now, together. We're so close. We've fought for our love, fought for us. But the fighting is exhausting, and we aren't even close to finished. No one wants this to happen. There are human haters that will stop at nothing to rip our hearts away from us. And they will not be appeased. No matter how far we've come, we can't ignore the obstacles yet to leap. The anger. My ever increasing age while you stay perfect. Youthful and beautiful. My darling, we are so close. But, Holly, we will always be so far...

Wonderfully cheesy, eh? Anyway, my first fic. Planning on doing a series of drabbles. Reviews greatly appreciated! WOOT!
