Have fallen for the mistake of not downloading as well. Thought I did, but I was evidently mistaken. Going to keep this short. Furry, premise was that a man's stuffed animal from childhood and he had an inexplicable desire to repair it. The guy went to Germany along with a friend, found the company that originally made it. They promise to repair it but he slowly starts to regress (mentally at first and then towards the end physically). Tl;dr, the plush was sapient and orchestrated his whole trip; the plush and the company wanted to lure him back partially to actually repair the animated toy but also to regress him back to babyhood, with his friend being caught along for the ride incidentally. It's implied that the guy is actually in a thirty year cycle where this keeps happening to him, and he forgets it each time; you don't really know how it all actually started. The story was hosted on some guy's personal website where he posted other works, so searching for it has been tricky. I remembered the URL for a while but I recently forgot it. I saw it relatively recently, within this last year, so it is highly unlikely that the work has been lost. Even if I don't get an answer here (which I anticipate is likely) I still feel like shouting this into the void. Thank you.
