Wow absolutely do not do this! To any fic! If you love a fic please download it when it’s live but if the author has deactivated the fic then please do not start playing detective and tracking it down!Some reasons why an author might hide/deactivate a fic:Finding a publisher who will happily publish a scrubbed version of their story but only if it’s no longer online (because publishers are weirdos who hate being sued!!)Revealing personal details that might make it easy for a potential employer/stalker to identify their fandom handle.They just want to!
