looking for a fic by nwspaprtaxis

Hey all, I'm looking for the fic Everything Still Turns To Gold by nwspaprtaxis. It's been removed from LJ and AO3 (at least, I can't find it), but does anyone have it to share or know of a working link?

Description: Everything Still Turns To Gold by nwspaprtaxis

Stanford!era, Dean gets a girl pregnant and somehow gets saddled with the kid. His daughter is only two or so when Dean gets very seriously injured (permanently, of course) -- John is AWOL, and Dean physically can't care for his daughter by himself (he's in a wheelchair, lost use of an arm, bad back, it's up to you), and he has no one else to turn to, so -- he calls Sam. He wouldn't do it for his own safety/health, but the safety of his kid is at stake, and that's the only thing that can make him want to break into Sam's new life.

Please and thank you!

UPDATE: The author has removed this story from her accounts and does not wish it shared via PDF. She is no longer active in fandom. Thanks.

You can publish fanfiction? That sounds hard to believe.

you can, I've purchased it. In that case, it was from a genre publisher, but it can also be self-published.

usually, it has to be able to stand alone independent from canon and with enough differences that it's not recognizable. So, AU's with character names changed and the like so that it qualifies for it's own copy wright.

Fans have always published their fanfic - in fanzines. usually sold for the cost of printing and mailing.

Formal "publishing" has also been a long tradition once the names are changed and additional editing work is done to make the stories stand alone.

Of course the most famous examples (so far) are Fifty Shades of Grey (Twilight) and "After" (One Direction) both of which sold for millions,
