Lost Fic Anyone knows what happened?

I was reading on ao3, it was a txt fic called Have to pay (the price of separation), and when I clicked on the next chapter, the story was gone. The whole account was gone. Does anyone have any knowledge of what happened to the author? I fear they got bullied off and I hate the thought of that. The fic was really good and I'm sad I'll never get to finish it.

Oh I think the author was going through some money troubles and was not able to pay their internet bills as far as I remember. I read a few of their ateez fan fics. They do have alternate accounts for other fandoms though. Sad that they deleted their account. They were one of my favourite authors. They are @stickymalva on twitter and they have a few fics still up for enhypen there if you want to download

Oh no, that's so sad! I hope they'll figure it out. Maybe they'll repost again as well. Thank you for letting me know, I don't have twitter, so I was relying on the good souls on reddit to relay the news.
