Looking for a specific fic: "These Things Were Promises"

[devotfeige.livejournal.com]

Anyone happen to have a saved copy of paperclipbitch's These Things Were Promises or else know where I could find it now that the LJ entries are locked/gone?

This was my absolute favourite fic and one I've gone back to over and over again and I was in the process of saving it to put on my Kindle when my bookmark started leading to the dreaded 'access is denied' page. :(

(In case the author/title doesn't immediately ring any bells: Holmes finds out about Watson's illicit feelings for him, there's some UST for a while, they have an argument over Holmes' inability to react to physical encounters instead of treating them with a systematic logical approach, there is more UST, while on a case Watson is cold and Holmes wants him to be quiet so he kisses him and this all naturally results in Watson ending up getting stabbed by a baddie and forgetting the events immediately previous, leading into more UST while Holmes angsts over everything being His Fault. Five chapters, fifth was a two-parter, ended in porn.)

I'd be grateful for any of said user's other Sherlock Holmes related stories (there was a five times fic about Mary I was particularly fond of), but I'd be happy with just the one. Thanks for the help.

ETA: Google cache saves the day!

Try google (cache). They are still readable this way.

Sorry, no link because they get long. but look for the title and "paperclipbitch other masterlist" and you find the links.

Thank you so much, that didn't even occur to me.

Managed to track down everything. :) Thanks again.

No problem. Yesterday I was busy myself tracking down the ones of her fics I hadn't save yet. :)

How exactly does Google cache work? I just googled google cache and it gave me nothing. XD

Google's changed it a bit. If you look up the link in google and then hover over the result, it gives you the cache link on the right-hand side. But you can't see the link unless you hover over the result, it used to be inline on the page.

ETA- Sorry, that wasn't quite right. Let me try again. Hover over the link and you'll see an image of two arrows >> to the right of the link. If you click on that, you'll see the link to the cached page.

Sorry to be posting here when it's been found, but google cache doesn't work for parts 5a and 5b, for me. Any chance somebody could send me their copy of it? It's rather frustrating to be left dangling!

5a and 3 appear to have mysteriously vanished, now.

Extraordinarily frustrating since I had a number of computer problems that held up my copying them over, and so now I'm missing both of those sections. I hastily copied everything else over to a word document (albeit messily), but it's better than nothing.

I really don't know what to do from here, myself. It's a damn shame that it never seemed to get uploaded anywhere other than LiveJournal.

Did you manage to get hold of Promises?
