Youβve been rehearsing small talk in your head the entire car ride. Alfieβs hand stays wrapped around yours, thumb brushing your palm every so often, like he can sense your nerves without you saying a word.
βTheyβre honestly going to love you,β he says for what must be the tenth time.
You glance at him, raising a brow. βYou said that before we left the houseβ¦ and before we got in the carβ¦ and halfway here.β
βYeah,β he grins, eyes on the road, βbecause I know what youβre like. Youβll overthink everything, then realise five minutes in theyβre just a bunch of idiots in hoodies. Maybe except Sabina and Livβ
βThatβs not reassuring.β
He laughs, squeezing your hand again. βYouβll see.β
The pub is already buzzing when you arrive. The low hum of music mixes with the clinking of glasses and bursts of laughter that rise over the chatter. You scan the room instinctively, taking in the crowd until Alfie nods toward a corner table. Itβs not just a groupβitβs a pack. Coats draped over chairs, half-empty pints, someone gesturing wildly mid-story.
βAlright,β Alfie murmurs, leaning down slightly. βBreathe. Just be you. Theyβve been dying to meet you.β
You give him a look that says βeasy for you to say,β but follow him anyway.
βOi! Look who finally decided to show up!β
The voice comes from JoshβChip, as Alfie always calls him. Heβs already half-standing, waving dramatically like heβs announcing royalty. βThis is her?β
You nod awkwardly, offering a small wave. βHeyyβ¦β
Chipβs grin widens. βBlimey, sheβs real.β
Everyone at the table laughs, and before you can even sit down, SabinaβChipβs girlfriendβstands to greet you with a warm hug. βHi! Finally. I feel like I know you already.β
βDo I want to know what heβs been saying?β you ask, glancing at Alfie.
Sabina smirks. βMostly good things. Mostly.β
Alfie rolls his eyes, pulling out the chair beside him for you. βIgnore them. Theyβve been planning this like itβs some kind of initiation.β
Arthur (the first Arthur, as you later learn) leans over, shaking your hand. βWelcome to the madhouse. Iβm Arthur, and thatββ he gestures lazily to the other end of the table ββis the other Arthur. Arthur H.He insists on the H, like weβre going to mix him up with a loaf of bread. We sometimes call him finchy though.β
Arthur H lifts his glass in silent salute. βTo be fair, it has happened.β
George is next to chime in, cheeky grin already plastered on his face. βSo you do exist. We thought Alfie was just editing stock photos to keep us quiet.β
Cal, sitting with his back half-turned, adds without looking up from his phone, βI had money on that theory. Guess I owe George a fiver.β
You laugh despite yourself, tension loosening a fraction. βSorry to ruin your bet.β
Isaac leans in then, a calmer presence amidst the chaos. βIβm Isaac, but you can call me bach, this is Liv,β he says, nodding to the girl at his side who gives you an easy smile. βIgnore half of what they say. Itβs mostly noise.β
βHey!β Chip protests.
βSee?β Bach grins.
As the evening rolls on, you slowly find your place. The first pint helps. So does the fact that Sabina keeps giving you little reassuring smiles whenever the conversation gets too fast, and Liv quietly nudges you when someone makes a joke youβre not supposed to take seriously.
Chip tells a dramatic story about a disastrous road trip, complete with wildly inaccurate sound effects. Arthur H tries to get you to pick a side in a debate about which of them is worse at FIFA. George keeps teasing Alfie about how quiet heβs beingββNot used to sharing the spotlight, mate?ββand Cal occasionally drops a single sentence that sends the table into chaos before going quiet again like nothing happened.
At one point, you excuse yourself to get a drink and when you come back, you catch Alfie mid-sentence:
βSheβs amazing, honestly. You lot are lucky she even agreed to come out with me.β
Your cheeks warm. He doesnβt notice youβve returned until Chip points behind him. βCareful, mate, youβre getting soppy.β
Alfie turns, caught red-handed, and just shrugs. βYeah, and?β
Later in the night, the group starts talking about an upcoming trip theyβre planning.
βYouβve got to come,β Sabina says, eyes lighting up. βItβs chaotic, but fun. Weβll make sure Alfie doesnβt forget the snacks this time.β
βOr his shoes,β George adds.
Alfie groans. βIt was one time.β
Arthur winks at you. βYouβll learn quickly: thereβs always a story about Alfie.β
You grin, leaning back against your chair. βIβm starting to collect them already.β
By the time the table starts to empty and people peel off to catch cabs, you realise your cheeks ache from smiling. Sabina hugs you again. Liv squeezes your arm gently and says, βSee? Not that scary.β
Chip yells across the pavement as you all step outside, βShe passed! We like her! Keep her, Alfie!β
Alfie shakes his head, muttering something about βidiots,β but when his hand finds yours in the cool night air, itβs warm and certain.
βTold you,β he murmurs as you walk toward the car. βYou fit right in.β
You glance at him, a small, quiet smile tugging at your lips. βI think I do.β
The night air is crisp as you all head back to George and Arthurβs flat (you also manage to meet chris there) after the pub. Everyone is joking, bumping shoulders, and Alfie keeps glancing at you like he canβt quite believe youβre here with him, laughing at all the chaos.
βHonestly,β he mutters under his breath as you slip your hand into his, βtheyβre a nightmare.β
You laugh softly. βYou love them.β
He grins, leaning close so only you can hear. βYeahβ¦ but I love you more. You just survived meeting all of them without running away. That deserves something.β
You glance at him, raising an eyebrow. βOh? And whatβs that supposed to be?β
He hesitates, cheeks warming slightly. βA kiss, maybeβ¦ in private?β
Before you can respond, Chip pops his head out the door. βOi! Lovebirds! Donβt disappear before we get a group photo!β
βAlfie!β Sabina chimes in, grinning, βYou said private!β
Alfie groans, dragging you gently into the hallway just out of frame. You both laugh, the sound blending with the echo of the friends teasing in the background.
Finally, the hallway is quiet. Alfie tips his head toward you, his hands brushing your waist. βYou make my world lessβ¦ chaotic, in the best way. I didnβt think anyone could handle all of thisβand yet here you are.β
Your heart swells. βGuess I just like chaos.β
He laughs softly, forehead leaning against yours. βYeahβ¦ but your kind of chaos is my favourite.β
And when he kisses you, itβs gentle, a little messy, and full of the quiet warmth of knowing that no matter the friends, the pub, or the jokes, thisβyou twoβis exactly where youβre meant to be.
As you pull back, still smiling, you hear the faint shouts of your new friends behind the door:
βOi! Youβre never gonna hear the end of this, Alfie!β
Alfie can just tell that it was chip shouting that and just squeezes your hand, grinning. βGood. Let them talk. Iβve got the best part right here.β
And somehow, amidst all the chaos and laughter, it feels like the calmest, sweetest moment in the world.

why is polyamorous Artemis Fowl never discussed
Iβve seen every single Artemis fowl ship and HC on here and I love all of them (shoutout to laeliana for being a goated Minerva x arty writer if you like that ship check her out) but I donβt think Iβve ever seen Poly Arty. like Iβm a multi shipper. I ship Minerva and Artemis, Alex and Artemis, and not much else because you guys are crazy and I canβt think of any other sane ships.
but the easiest solution is just. Like. Minerva x Artemis x Alex. Or Alex x Sabina x Artemis. log course this goes with other hcs like Trans Artemis because we all know these babies love Arty no matter what
I think I need this in my life
