"或许你可以重新'洗洗脑子',放空一下,读个,随便什么的专业,认识一些新的人。"

一个普通的早晨,别墅的餐厅依稀能听见远处农业机械闷闷的轰鸣声。安洁琳钟爱老式南法风格的落地窗,不得不牺牲一些隔音效果。哪怕是在新世界,阶层的形成还是那么轻而易举,就算是一块小小的田地,不同的人们也对它有不同的期待与想象。

阿特米斯本意静静地与安洁琳吃早餐,没承想这份略有些尴尬的宁静还是被这个美丽的女人打破了。

"什……哦,但是这到最后只是让我体会一下权利关系的转换而已,你知道……我并不是一个真正意义上,'新的人',那些记忆……我是说知识……它们还在那里。"阿特米斯盯着盘子里欧姆蛋,手里的刀叉不知不觉已经放下,没想到母亲还在抓着昨晚的话题不放。她眼下有些似有似无的阴影,一定是没有睡好,阿特米斯想,不知道是因为他还是父亲。

这几天老阿特米斯一直在庄园,一家新兴的农业科技公司想在庄园的高地边缘开展一些实验。最近来了一些实验人员做前期的考察,老阿特米斯对他们的项目很感兴趣,最近都没有回到埃科别墅住。

一向支持丈夫的安洁琳这次极度反对这项计划。阿特米斯大约知道为什么,但是他没有参与到父母的争执中。

"你也没有真正的获得过教职,哪怕你现在去圣三一做一个普通老师也挺好。但是,作为学生,说不定你会有更多的体会,压力也会小很多不是么。学院的考评体系,还有人际关系其实更让人头疼。你朋友们的那个医生……"

"阿尔根,我甚至怀疑他作为精神治疗师的资格。"阿特米斯笑了起来。

"是的,阿尔根,他的建议也是让你换换环境。别打断妈妈,Arty,你其实明白我的意思,你最近看起来实在算不上好,不光是我这么想,我和荷莉通过话,她同样担心你,我们只是想给你提供些思路,去学校算是一个过渡,总比你现在……"安洁琳打断了儿子想岔开话题的想法,眼神中温柔又有些责备。

"我知道,我知道..."阿特米斯叹了口气,重新开始切烟熏三文鱼,"我会考虑一下的。"

像是吃了颗定心丸,安洁琳微笑着看着自己的儿子。

她总是那么相信我,即使我骗了她很多次。

阿特米斯避开了安洁琳的目光。

A/N:

这是在Arty35岁生日时突发奇想的一篇fanfic,这是一个和原著完全不同的故事,也是一个不同的Artemis。

在我看来,到第八部的时候,Arty的性格已经有了很大转变,第七部对他心理疾病的描述,也让我觉得这方面有很多想象和再创作的空间,关于原生家庭,成长环境,父母对他的影响,原著很多时候只留下一两句话,但是也让我感到很震撼。比如他对双胞胎和父母之间互动时的心理描写,包括他的一些文学、艺术爱好,让我感觉Arty其实是有点情感回避、自我封闭的状态。尽管AF系列里,他最后几乎算得上是一个"好人",但对最亲近的几个朋友真正坦诚么,我看未必见得。特别是第八部,很多心理活动的描写都让我觉得心痛。而作者让他"重生"的方式,在我看来也是有些残忍的,新世界的他究竟会变成怎样,一切都是未知数。

Chapter One

Angeline's Expectations

A/N:

After returning to this world once again, Artemis has embarked on a different life, a path he has never tried before... Do the ghosts from the past bring a complete life, or a heart full of regrets?

About the Characters:

The appearance of the fairies in this story may be relatively rare, and there will also be some new characters.

Warning:

There may be romantic relationships with new characters.

I never thought that after more than a decade, I would have the urge to write about AF again, but I really love this character. Arty has brought me a lot of spiritual exploration during my growth.

The plan of this story is a small daily-life story, which may end at any time.

All AF characters belong to Eoin Colfer~~

"Perhaps you could give your mind a good scrub, clear your thoughts, enroll in some random major, anything, meet some new people."

On an ordinary morning, the dining room of the villa catches the faint, muffled growl of agricultural machinery in the distance. Angeline has an affection for the old - fashioned, floor - to - ceiling windows in the southern French style, though it comes at the cost of sacrificing some soundproofing. Even in this new world, the formation of old social class is as easy as pie, even a small piece of land held different expectations and imaginations for different people.

Artemis had intended to enjoy a quiet breakfast with Angeline.Little did he expect that this somewhat uncomfortable silence would be shattered by this beautiful woman.

"What... Oh, ultimately, it would only let me experience a shift in power dynamics, you know... I'm not truly a 'new person,' those memories... I mean, the knowledge... they remain within me." Artemis stared at the omelet on his plate, his knife and fork unconsciously set down. He hadn't expected his mother was still harping on the topic from last night. There were faint, almost imperceptible shadows under her eyes; she must not have slept well, Artemis thought, wondering if it was because of him or his father.

For the past few days, Artemi Sr. has been at Fowl Manor.A new agricultural technology company aims to conduct a series of experiments on the edge of the manor's highland. Recently, some experimenters have arrived to conduct preliminary surveys. Artemis Sr. is highly intrigued by their project and hasn't returned to Villa Éco to stay lately.

Angeline, who has always stood by her husband, is vehemently opposed to this plan this time. Artemis has a rough idea of the reason, but he has chosen not to get involved in his parents' spat.

"You haven't really held a teaching position, and even if you were to become an ordinary teacher at Trinity now, it would be fine. However, as a student, perhaps you'd gain more insights, and the pressure would be lighter, wouldn't it? The college's evaluation system and interpersonal dynamics are actually more of a headache. That therapist of your friends..."

"Argon, I even doubt his qualifications as a psychotherapist," Artemis let out a chuckle..

"Yes, Argon, his advice is also for you to change your environment. Don't interrupt mom, Arty, You do understand what I mean. You haven't been looking your best lately, It's not just my opinion. I've spoken to Holly, and she's also worried about you. We just want to offer you some options. Going to a college would be a transition, better than your current situation..."Angeline cut in as her son attempted to divert the topic,her eyes brimming with tenderness yet tinged with a hint of reproach.

"I know, I know..." Artemis heaved a sigh and resumed cutting the smoked salmon. "I'll consider it."

As if taking a pill of reassurance, Angeline smiled at her son.

She always has such unwavering faith in me, even though I've deceived her on numerous occasions.

Artemis averted Angeline's gaze.


On the night of Arty's 35th birthday, an idea for a fanfiction story came to me suddenly. This is a story completely different from the original one, and it features a different Artemis. However, in my opinion, by the eighth book, Artemis' character has already changed a great deal. The description of his mental illness in the seventh book also makes me feel that there is a lot of room for imagination and re - creation in this regard.

Regarding his original family, growing environment, and the influence of his parents, the original work often leaves only a sentence or two, but it also left me feeling deeply moved.

For example, his psychological description when interacting with his twin brothers and parents, including some of his literary and artistic hobbies, made me feel that Arty is actually in a state of emotional avoidance and self-isolation.

Although in the last three books, he can almost be considered a "good person," I am not sure if he is truly open and honest with his closest friends. Especially in the eighth book, many descriptions of his mental activities make me feel heartbroken. And the way the author makes him "reincarnate" also seems a bit cruel to me. What he will become in the new world is completely unknown.

Plz leave some comments to me!
