U WILL NOT BELIEVE--
OK SO GET THIS
theres this one fic i found a while ago, beautifully written, 30+ chs of angsty goodness, SLOW BURN they dont even kiss until ch 19 (so there is a plot!!) man, BIG LOV for that fic but uhh i havent looked at it in like a few years, and i randomly had the urge to see it again yesterday at like 3/4am BUT guess what it was deleted i was so sad i thought i would never see it again BUT NOO i actually found some guy on reddit who ran a code for 18 MONTHS basically archiving the entirety of ff dot net (i was so shook this man living in 3027, doing GODS WORK) so i spent like 3 hrs downloading a 6.5gb zip file of ALL THE NARUTO FICS ON FF DOT NET AT THE POINT OF THE ARCHIVING i dont actually kno if this is slow or not my internet / computer is like uhhhh so well, it took 3 hrs
so its 7am im here unzipping this mf file and i have to stop like every 2% it uncompresses so i can look through the list looking for THE ONE™ and deleting everything else cuz i didnt want to fucc up my computer / use mad storage keeping like 354064106847086460510 naruto fics??? so it takes a few minutes every time i move like 10,000 .txt files to the recycling and another few mins to empty the trash can, dan is my computer slow, i did some MAJOR reading while waiting, i got like 126 pages further into 1q84 (good book but super weird uh) 
but anywhooo its like 8am i got no sleep, the zip file is ~20% unzipped yet i dont see it and im high key paranoid cuz WAT IF ITS NOT HERE anxiété killing me as i uncompress, pause, scan list, trash, empty trash, repeat, my grandma wakes up and is like bihh wtf u still up im like ya, its around 8 30 i make heart shaped onigiri while i wait trying to chill tf out, also did i mention i had cake also because STRESS
the file is 25% unzipped yet no sign of the fic im looking for im getting hella nervous, unzipping another 5%, scanning the list, and BAM I SEE IT OMG GOD IS REAL ITS THERE I ONLY HAD TO UNZIP 30% ITS HERE AAAAA
its 9am my heart is at peace i can read about my otp once again im so shook i cant believe that worked out for me wtf wtf moral of the story? never give up that is my ninja way dont let ur dreams be dreams OR dont be a dumb bihh (i never learn sigh kms) and BACK UP FICS BEFOREHAND WHILE THEYRE THERE FOR GODS SAKE
i’d like to thank not only god but also jesus also MAJOR shout out to nerdguy1138 on reddit he really saving lives out here
