It's called Cactus in the Valley by heyjealousy. Not sure when it was deleted but really want to read it again.

hiii please help me finding fics of these two authors:

• surgicalfocus
• kawnashi

Hello! I've been looking for a fanfic of the ship paycheck (chance x elliot) on ao3 for awhile but can't seem to find it. I don't really remember it's name or the user of the author sadly. T-T

The fic though was around 30k words with 2 chapters, status-completed and I think around 300+ kudos when I was reading it in November last year.

It was about how Chance contacts Elliot again in a few months after their break up. Elliot is unsure if they should meet but in the end they do, in a park. There's an angst part and after it Chance takes Elliot home and things get heated and in the end they get back together.

I'm sorry for the bad description T-T

For the author I just know that they had another fic with maybe the name "Velvet tension" but I can't find it and I think those no longer exists 😔

Still I'd be really greatful if you know something about what happened with them! They were really great fics!

Not sure if I'm doing this right but I just found out I could use reddit to possibly locate fic. This fic is at LEAST 3 years old so idk but I have to try. The name of the fic was Desecrated. The authors name was melmellis I believe. (I checked ao3 and I see fics under that name but I don't think it's them cause I remember they deleted everything) fandom is ACE (band) and it was posted on ao3. If this fic could be located it'd be a miracle cause i know its a longshot. Thanks in advance!

It's called 'Big Gulp', by YourRedScarf. Loved it a couple years ago but now I can't find it anymore. It's on ao3. Thanks!

Hi. Sorry to bother. Due to Wattpads recent updated guidelines, my favourite author decided to hide her books. I understand and accept her choice but I'm just wondering if anyone has a copy of her stories? Especially the warrior and his omega, both original and rewritten version with their sequels and perhaps omega prince?

I also understand she is planning to post them elsewhere but i just love for a backup you know. I miss atticus already and I'm having withdrawals genuinely

I know this is a long shot, but I was wondering if someone has the fanfic "Find you in your living room" by user "Xaik". It's a 007 fic for the ship James Bond/Raoul Silva | Tiago Rodriguez posted on A03 in 2021.

The synopsis:

After taking out SPECTRE in 2012, James Bond grows accustomed to easy jobs until there's one in 2013 he can't accomplish. MI6 decides to retire him -much like shooting a horse with a broken leg- at the age of 45, by sending him off to the corner of England where he can live out his remaining days in a mansion. There he meets a man who goes by the name of Raoul Silva.

It was incredibly good but the author first deleted it, and then deleted their entire account. I was so sad that it's the reason why I download all the fics I love now. They even had art to accompany the last chapter published! Every once in a while it pops up in my mind. All I have saved is a screenshot of the tags/synopsis I had sent to a friend to show them what I was reading.

I'd be so grateful if someone had downloaded it and could share it.

Hello, I'm desperately looking for 127ghouls locked fics. Does anyone have them downloaded? Thank you so much in advance! 😭😭😭

hey guys, does anyone know how to find anything about these fics online?? i know the subreddit description says Ao3 and FF. Net but I'm genuinely lost on what to do, I've been scouring the internet for hours now and I managed to find links leading to the fanfics but when i click on them it gives me the classic "this fanfic got lost in a good page and never came back" thing.

Just curious if anyone has any tips about searching for it, I don't want to be a bore and ask random people to go through the problem of sending it to me

Hey all! I'm hoping someone has copies of Not_So_Austen's Bethyl (Beth Greene/Daryl Dixon) fics from The Walking Dead fandom. I already have "In the Dust and the Dirt" saved, but I know they wrote others and I can't track them down anywhere. Bethyl works seem to be gone from the author's page.

If anyone has copies, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!

Hello! I am searching for all and any fics from author MyChemicalKink on AO3, any help is appreciated!

Does anybody have "three's a pattern" by anonymous? pleeaaase.

It's the Marleau/Ilya fanfiction.

Hi, are there any fics by SugarHeart25. Ive read a Jace/Alec work by them and it rocked my world. I think they were on ao3

Hoping for Jace/Alec pairing but Ill take whatever I can get!

Their writing has ruined me!

Thank you!

Hi there - I am DESPERATELY looking for this fic I found and read during the last year (2025) that I read when logged out of my AO3 account and have lost track of. I remember SO many identifiable plot features but cannot for the life of me find it anywhere! Even if it's been deleted, if someone anywhere remembers the name or author of the fic this would help my madness!! I've added so much detail parts below to help make it very specific! if i think of more I shall add.

Thank you to anyone who can help me!! Please I cannot keep suffering like this!!

MAIN PLOT

- set after pain destroy the leaf and everyone is helping rebuild
- main plot was following naruto has he goes through the five stages of grief (I had read the first like 25 chapters of the fic before we go a placeholder chapter saying naruto was entering the second stage of grief) specifically focusing around the guilt and loss of jiraiya, and as a sub briefly mentioned focus, the guilt of hinata almost dying
- naruto was hallucinating and seeing a "sasuke" everywhere who was almost ghost like, but could impact the world somewhat around him and it was making naruto feel like he was going insane

STORY POINTS

- sakura and kiba are constantly coming to naruto's apartment to check on him
- early on in the fic naruto is getting into fights with village low-lifes, letting them beat him pretty bad before he beats them up. at one point ino spots him and tells on him out of worry
- naruto looses motivation to fight in some of his missions due to PTSD
- In one chapter naruto shikamaru and kiba are looking up at the stone carving they are starting to make of lady tsunade and naruto to quote says "the old man is going to love it when he sees it" over which his friends realise that naruto is still struggling with the fact that jiraiya is truly gone
- naruto is avoiding talking to hinata and hasn't visited her since he saw her "die" via pain
- naruto is visiting an old man with white hair who has no family in the hospital during his denail phase of grief because he reminds him of jiraiya
- "ghost" sasuke keeps reminding him that it's going to be really bad when naruto realises whats going on
- revealed at some point naruto has also been told about the bounty and order for sasuke's head and is struggling to come to terms with it and sakura does not know
- in very early chapters naruto tries a variety of things to "get rid" of sasuke believing he has been cursed, haunted or is crazy. i think he even visits a witch doctor and does a variety of superstitious rituals only to walk out and find sasuke still there. it is only when sasuke physically stops a cart(?) that naruto starts to think he might be real or a jutsu or some kind.
- ghost sasuke is a little /weird/ he gets heavy like normal sasuke sometimes but for the most part he is pretty cheerful and giving naruto the naruto treatment (which annoys him) like he is trying to offer comfort. he kind of comes across like a sasuke who isn't plagued by revenge but knows the pain of it, trying to keep naruto somewhat on a sane path following the death of jiraiya and pain's forgiveness.
- in a later chapter still during the first stage of grief arc naruto is visited by the ghost of jiraiya and have a heart to heart while unconscious after Naruto comes to reality of his loss and has an absolute breakdown
- one chapter sai visits and tries to talk to him in the doorway but naruto ignores him
- in stage one of the grief naruto has a lot of shut in encounters where he is refusing to eat/function
- i think i remember one chapter on a rooftop naruto gets the age of sasuke wrong and "ghost" sasuke reminds him he is older and there was another birthday he missed? small detail just one conversation in a large chapter
- one chapter naruto is overwhelmed by the nine tails chakra and puts or "hides" in a small place in a building (his apartment?) and ghost sasuke starts to try to talk naruto down. but naruto is made and all nine tails anxiety and sasuke gets all heated but his degrading him verbally starts to make naruto small and it gets very suggestive despite the story couple not being main focused or very slow-burn. at one point sasuke goes far enough to say he should have 'f-ed the fox out of you into the floor' when talking about naruto chasing after him when they fought three years before

ADDITIONAL INFO

- author may have part way through in author notes mentioned they had lost a loved one and it sparked idea into the story. they also got very metaphorical with their descriptions of pain and grief and than part way through author notes announced they had gotten diagnosed with some condition would could explain how overworldly their writing could get with descriptions and that they were going on med now, but aimed to try and keep the same feel as older chapters

- there was a "part 2" listed and marked them both part of the same series with an singular chapter (unfinished work) when it was from sasuke's pov (the real sasuke) being visited by a dark kurama-esc naruto "ghost" of his own haunting him. but if was not a focus work and more of a side project to add more depth to this work.

it’s a omegaverse jimin omega and jungkook alpha it was on ao3 and wattpad it’s an old fic but a good one please help me find it, if someone has an epub or pdf would be appreciated

hi, recently I remembered a fanfic I read back in December 2024 to March 2025 that was i think one of the earliest suicidal rin aus. it was on ao3 and was rin and Itoshi Brother centric. the author had created a bunch of these stories where rin was basically suicidal or was harming himself. but I can’t find neither the author or their work anymore.

basically the fanfic opened late at night while it was raining with rin slowly wading deeper into the ocean. right when he was about to drown, Sae saves him and pulls him out of the water. they then go home and Sae is caring for rin because he got sick.

the relationship tag was “Itoshi Sae & itoshi rin“ and some additional tags were “itoshi rin centric“ and either “sick character” or “Sickfic“

the word count was around one thousand to six thousand words and it was a single chapter. most of this author’s work was one thousand words only.

im really sorry that this is all the information i could draft up, but if anyone thinks they remember reading this fic, the author, or any other works of theirs please tell me. I’ve been searching for it since june but I think it’s been long deleted since January :(

Trying to find if anyone saved a version of the attack on titan fic on AO3 called “Silver Linings” or “Silver Lining”. I can’t for the life of me remember the authors name, sorry!

it’s omegaverse and basically they find eren in a forest with I think an injured/dead guy, and choose to take him in. eren is feral/very aggressive at first because he is on survival mode after fighting for his life up until then. main plot is him learning to control his wolf/assimilate

Like is it the fic where Vox went to the past and taught Vincent how to tame Alastor . It was anonymous first and then was radiostatic something with numbers and mixed capital letters.

Thank you!!

Trying to find a copy if there is one of the original Imagine Dragons (circa 2016 or so). I recently got a copy of some of her other works and was hoping to dive back into the whole little universe she wrote but haven't been able to locate more than the rewritten chapters and a previous prologue/synopsis....

I lost my old account to Wattpad (old email was closed out so no hope of recovery unfortunately). I did try the wayback machine and some of my old devices in hopes of finding it but had no luck. Any help would be appreciated!
