Steampunk/future AU removed from AO3???
Hi!!! First post anywhere on lj ever, wow. So a while ago I read one of the best fics I have ever come across and bookmarked it on AO3, but it seems to have been removed now! I was just wondering if anyone knew of anywhere else I could find it or if anyone had it saved?
It was a future (or possibly steampunk) AU in which Patrick is a robot of some description who can see other robots' coding when he touches them? And he rescued Joe, a human who is blind, and looks after him in a sort of basement. Patrick goes out one night and finds Pete, who is a strange sort of bot that he's never come across before, in a dumpster, and then Pete wakes up and Patrick gets scared and runs away. But Pete follows Patrick back to Joe and gets into their basement. Then Patrick touches him and almost blacks out because Pete's coding is really weird. Anyway, it transpires that Pete contains a virus to take down the whole of the mainframe in the corrupt city in which they're living. And there are security cameras in stars? And the stars start falling?
That was an awful lot of detail, and I apologise. But I'd really like to track down this fic, because it was amazing! I really wish I'd saved it now!
UPDATE: It might be Erased Song by coricomile (that's their user on AO3 at any rate). Does anyone have a link to that? Or has anyone saved that?
