Berwald grows up as a selectively mute boy in an environment that isn't exactly tolerant of his difference. It is only when he meets sign language teacher Liz, her husband Roderich and their strange, chaotic group of friends that he begins to truly live and enjoy his life. Love, loss and coming of age in a world that is often unkind to those who are different.

Berwald tried to let himself believe that the pretty little blonde had a perfectly respectable reason to be waiting on a corner. He was waiting for someone. He needed to cross the street. He lived nearby. But after the third or fourth time seeing him in the precise same spot, it became steadily harder to lie to himself. It's exactly what it sounds like, folks.

Set after the time paradox. Artemis and Holly consider the broken trust between them, and decide where they stand. Artemis Fowl can only be forgiven, or forgotten. possible A/H, spoilers for time paradox. Likely to be short. Took the title from a song by Stabilo. As of chapter four, this story is drawing to a close. I may write an epilogue, if desired.
