Disclaimer: I own neither Artemis Fowl nor Kuroshitsuji, all the teapots and spoons in the world could never change that fact.

Summary: AU. Imagine if Artemis and Holly never made it back to their own time after N01 sent them back but instead they get sent off to 18th century England in which they come across a certain awful nobleman and his butler.

Artemis opened and closed his eyes slowly, allowing them to focus. The last thing he remembered was the flashes of images in the timeline as he was pulled back to the present. As his head cleared, he began to piece together what had happened. Mother is sick, cure is endangered, Opal is insane…"JAYJAY?" He shouted aloud, he jolted upwards, bad move. He flinched in pain; his body hurt everywhere, as if he had fallen from a great height. He looked up and saw a tree; I must've fallen from there. He looked down; a feeling of relief flooded him as he saw Holly sleeping peacefully, her chest rising up and down slowly, as she hugged the wriggling monkey. Something must've gone wrong when we were being pulled back to the present. Holly shifted her body to hug the floor and the Jayjay shot out of her arms into the forest surrounding them. "Holly." Artemis whispered and felt a tinge of annoyance as he was ignored. He said in a louder voice, "Holly." The LEP captain jumped up and landed on her feet in a fighting pose, ready for anything. When she realised that there were no foes in sight, she relaxed a bit and watched as Artemis stood up and dusted of his suit. "Artemis? Where are we?"

Artemis stretched, flinching again. "Are you hurt? Wait, let me heal you. Sit back down." Artemis followed orders and Holly kneeled beside him letting the magic flow out of her palms. Artemis took this moment to tell Holly about what he supposed had happened, "Well, I believe we missed out mark when we were being pulled back to the present. I am unsure of where we are or what time we are in." He pin wheeled his shoulder as Holly finished off healing him. "So how do you suppose we get back?"

Artemis tilted his head and stood up, happy to not be in anymore pain, "It depends. We should get out of the forest first; when we figure out exactly when and where we are then we will take appropriate actions from there."

"Okay, but what about Jayjay?" Holly asked, wondering where the whole cause of their plight had gone.

Artemis half-smiled, "Jayjay." The monkey shot out of the forest and into his arms. "No problem." He looked at Holly and suddenly frowned.

"What, do I have something on my face?" She asked, confused.

"You're LEP suit, it attracts too much attention. Do you have enough magic to shimmer?"

"I can do it for about thirty minutes before I'm all out."

"Okay, then please be sure to do so when we get out of here."

"Okay."

The two remained standing in the forest silently, if anyone were to see the odd trio it would be quite the sighting. A olive skinned woman with spiky brown hair and pointed ears standing hardly above 4 feet wearing a silvery suit along with a boy no older than 14 with raven black hair, blue and brown eyes wearing an black tailored suit holding a monkey in his arms.

"Artemis, do you have any idea which way is out?" Holly asked, wondering why they had not begun to walk.

"I had thought you would be able to make a map of the surrounding areas with the suit." Artemis replies lamely.

Holly quickly checks the suit, "There's no power Artemis."

"Oh."

Holly sighs, "Your giant brain is absolutely useless at times like this." She begins to walk to the giant tree Artemis supposed he'd fallen out of. "Where are you going Holly?"

"I'm going to climb this tree –" Before she could say anything else, the sound of horse hooves clapping against the earth filled their ears. It only took moment for Artemis to learn the true nature of where he was. The well worn clearing in the forest now obviously a pathway that led through the forest and by the sounds of it, two people were racing on horses in there direction. Jayjay was spooked by the horses' hooves and quickly dove towards the forest behind Holly, Artemis followed suit. He ran across and hid behind the tree Holly was perched upon. "Holly?" he whispered harshly, he didn't know why he was whispering, but it felt right.

Holly's slim figure jumped down from the tree as silently as a cat. "We're not too far away from society, there is a manor only while away. There are two horses heading this way."

As she said that, two horses came to a spot beside their tree. Great, they picked the absolute worst place to stop for us!

Holly and Artemis remained silent and listened to the conversation going on past their tree. "Ciel, I see you've certainly gotten better on a horse." A middle aged English woman said, she sounded only slightly impressed.

"Possibly, or you might just be getting old Aunt Frances." A cocky adolescent English boy replies.

The woman snorted, "You are getting annoyingly cocky nowadays."

"No, I am not being cocky; I am simply expressing rightly gained confidence. Your days of victory over me have grown to be no existent Aunt Frances. I have beaten you at every challenge you called." The boy replied. Holly's sharp ears detected another pair of feet walked towards the arguing aunt and nephew.

"I am sorry to interrupt Young Master." The words caught both Artemis' and Holly's attention, they shared a glance. Young master?

"But Lady Elizabeth is awaiting both of your returns to the manor with the tea and snack of which I had prepared."

The boy replied, "Of course. Well then Aunt Frances, care to have a rematch?"

"Brats should know their place." Those were the last words spoken before the sound of horse hooves slamming against the earth resounded inside the forest. The sound of hooves grew faint and Holly was now confused. As far as she heard, the Butler had still not left his spot. Artemis had begun to relax and before she had any time to warn him, he took a step out from behind the tree. Artemis immediately froze, standing in front of him was a tall young man with long black hair that lay gently above his red eyes. He was dressed as only a butler should and was smiling evilly at the young boy that had stepped out from behind the tree. Artemis' mind took his all this in quickly and evaluated the situation. He was in England, sometime in the 18th century by the sound of the people's voices, caught eavesdropping by the butler of what he guessed was the son of an English nobleman. His memory of how Butler treated intruders suddenly formed in his mind and he couldn't suppress his shudder.

"I would like to kindly ask that your accomplice step out from behind the tree as well." The Butler said politely. Holly did so nervously, standing next to Artemis looking guilty.

The Butler sighed to himself, "I really must talk to Finny, he is supposed to be taking care of security in the forest and yet…" He looked at Artemis and Holly, "Two rats managed to get inside."

Artemis felt a tinge of annoyance as he was called a rat. How dare a mere butler call him, Artemis Fowl, a rat?

Holly stood at attention, shaking in fear as she sensed how strong the man standing before her was. This man was stronger then Butler by far, he would probably be able to beat up ten trolls with ease.

The Butler took a step towards them and Holly bit her lip nervously, she took a quick glance at Artemis and was surprised to see a strong look of defiance in his eyes. "Do you have any idea who you are talking to?" Artemis brain did a quick check of the possibility of him playing this off, he thanked god that he was wearing a fairly clean suit. "I am Artemis Fowl the second." He knew that it anyone were to run a check on that name, nothing would come up, but he hoped if he could pull this off, he would be back in his room sipping tea before the check was even completed. "I decide to take a stroll from my country estate and end up being called a rat by a mere butler! This is an insult to the Fowl name!"

The Butler looks at him oddly, tilting his head with interest, "I apologise then. Please do not take my ignorant behaviour as a mirror to my master's, I merely supposed that you two had snuck in to try and hurt the young master. He has many enemies in today society."

Holly's mouth was slightly agape with shock as she couldn't believe that the Butler had actually believed Artemis but she was also surprised to see how well Artemis played off the snooty rich brat role. "You better be sorry, my father would be outraged to hear about how you treated me!"

The Butler bowed his head, "I deeply apologise. As repayment, would you like to join me to the manor; it is only a few minutes away from here, I would be happy to serve you tea and snacks if it would satisfy you."

Holly relaxed a bit, but sensed that there was something more to what the Butler was saying. Artemis on the other hand, was suspicious of everything. If the Butler was good enough to sense their presence from behind the tree, he certainly wouldn't believe his story so easily. Butler wouldn't.

"Well then, I suppose we should be on our way, I am sorry that you have to go there on foot but since there are no horses."

"It's okay; I came out here to take a stroll anyways." Artemis says, faking a smile.

Artemis could hardly breathe by the time they reached the manor. Although he had started to make an effort to improve his physical capability, he still wasn't up for the thirty minute walk back to the manor. He was slightly irritated by the fact that neither Holly nor the Butler – whose name he learned was Sebastian – were even the slightest out of breath.

"It is only a little farther until we reach the house." Sebastian reassured them, curious as to how similar the mystery boy was to Ciel.

They soon reached the manor and Artemis couldn't help but admit to himself that it was as good as or perhaps better than his own. It was a tall building, 3 stories high, with many chimneys and had two curved staircases that lead up to the main door. They walked passed the main door towards the side entrance. "It is required that mere staff are not to enter through the main door, though the son of a noble like you would know that already."

Artemis simply nodded, though he did understand why the staff entered through the side. "Well if you would like to just walk through here and take a seat. I will return with tea and snacks."

Artemis and Holly sat at the wooden table silently as they watched the Butler leave through the doorway. We are probably in the staff room right now, Artemis thought to himself as he looked at the poorly furnished room. We should escape now; the Butler is obviously suspicious of us. If he took my story seriously, we wouldn't be sitting in the staff room. And I must get back to mother, she will die without Jayjay. His instinct told him to leave but his curiosity was stronger. My initial estimate was probably wrong. The boy isn't the son of a noble, by the way the Butler talked about him, he is probably a noble himself. A boy my age is an English noble who is good enough to be able to keep control over this estate, he would be a worth rival. And there is no definite way I will get back to mother immediately if I leave here.

"Holly, we shouldn't move just yet. Let us wait, once the 'Young Master' is finished with his guests, he will surely come down here to speak with us. Hopefully, mother can wait." As he made his decision his gut filled with regret and guilt for putting his beloved mother second, but there was nothing he could do. He had made his decision, and the stubbornness that runs through his veins told him that he couldn't turn back on his choice.

A/N: Well that was the first chapter! I am definitely not the only one that saw the similarity between Artemis and Ciel and when i was re-reading kuroshitsuji, this idea cropped in my mind. I know that Artemis is OOC because he is putting his mum second but I thought that since he is still a super logical being, he would realize that he may be stuck in the past for a while – maybe even forever – so he would just do something he enjoyed.
