Have a question about how the TVTropes wiki works? No one knows this community better than the people in it, so ask away! Ask the Tropers is the page you come to when you have a question burning in your brain and the support pages didn't help.
It's not for everything, though. For a list of all the resources for your questions, click here. You can also go to this Directory thread
for ongoing cleanup projects.
To my knowledge there is no exact policy for what happens when an online work gets deleted. It has been brought up before but sometimes they get deleted while others I got a response that boiled down to "idk gotta think about it".

^ DarthWiki.Unpublished Works itself states this fairly clearly, "Some works can't be verified publicly... So we relegate them to this back room". If contents of a work are impossible to verify, they don't stay on work pages.

Fortune Favors the Brave has been deleted. The link to the page no longer works and I have been unable to find any backups on Way Back Machine or Archive Today. Based on the page's history
, the work was paused/deleted sometime in July 2021.
I was able to find the author's AO3 account
, as well as their Tumblr account
, which show that they are still active and writing as of today. According to this Tumblr post
, the author was very disappointed with a certain episode of the series and how it portrayed the characters, which made them no longer want to continue working on Fortune Favors the Brave, so they decided to delete the fic and rework it later. However, this never seemed to happen and there have been no further posts on this work since November 2021
, so it looks like the idea has been completely abandoned.
Should I move this page to DarthWiki.Unpublished Works?
