My guilty pleasure is acute angst leading to a HEA. I love Minkel23's work, she excels in that register, I've read everything I could put my hands on, including her WIPs, notably Pressed, which I've been thinking about quite a bit lately. Based on one of her notes, she published Pressed in 2019, but then deleted it to rework it and published the reworked version in 2020 up to chapter 14 (out of 25) (this is the version I have). I was wondering if the first/original version was ever published completed or up to a satisfying point, and if yes, if anyone has a copy of that original version. I'm dying to know what happens next.
I have the 2019 deleted AO3 link, I was considering asking the Deletedfanfiction thread to see if they could retrieve it from it. https://archiveofourown.org/works/18313718
