Lost/Dead Fics -- a Wish List

[Bob Schroeck]

And no sooner do I post that than I come across another one. This is very much a "lost" fic, and not just a dead one:

A Door Ajar by "Beautiful T Jakson" [sic], from 2010. Another Harry Potter fic, in which intemperate words by both Vernon and Harry while Ron and the twins are rescuing him from the Dursleys are a butterfly that results in a massive cascade of changes from canon. Well written, and has the unique distinction of being the only fic I've ever read where, upon learning that Harry is planning on leaving Hogwarts and going to another school, Dumbledore does not try anything stupid, manipulative or underhanded to keep him there. Instead, he hires experts to help him make the school better and safer in the hopes that it will allay Harry's concerns about the safety of his friends and himself. (Not that it helps.)

I have eleven chapters of this fic in my Kindle, and when I went to see if there were more, I discovered that its fanfiction.net page simply displayed "Story Not Found Story is unavailable for reading." The Wayback Machine sadly captured only three widely-spaced chapters before the story was blanked sometime between 2016 and 2019, but one of those is its chapter 14, which judging by the page header was the last chapter written for the story, back in 2012.

Google doesn't turn up anything for it anywhere else on the web, so I'm presuming it has been well and truly lost.
