Looking for BBC Sherlock Fic "The Criminal Redeemed" by Wolfhound46

I didn't know that the author was planning to take the fic offline until about two days after it was already done, and have been looking for a copy since then.

In the fic, Sherlock and Jim Moriarty are together and it's rather unhealthy, so Moriarty decides to "kill" himself. He then becomes who he was before becoming a criminal. He moves to Ireland and works on a farm with Sebastan Moran. Sherlock finds him and starts to spend as much time as he can in Ireland with Moriarty. At one point, though, one of the boys from nearby gets in trouble, so criminal Moriarty comes back, except it makes him so ill that he almost dies. Sherlock calls John and he comes out and has a huge crisis of conscience, etc.

I really loved this fic, so I'd really appreciate a copy, if anyone has one.

Can you throw yourself on the author's mercy and see if they will let you have a copy?

I hadn't initially, simply because the author's stated reason for taking it down was to retire from AO3 to focus on other writing. I've gotten desperate enough, though, that I have asked and am waiting on a reply. Thanks for the suggestion!
