there was ALSO recently a move of all this older literature to AO3 called the "P/K Preservation Project" completed in 2018! and if you check the collections tag there now, you& #39;ll see fics that were originally published all the way back in 1997! https://archiveofourown.org/collections/pkalltheway/profile">https://archiveofourown.org/collectio...
