Recovery from accidental soul-peddling

I was trying to burn through some quick FL actions on my phone and and as usual selected the first option on the 'The Western Tower: a Guest Room at the Brass Embassy' card, to make a few scrap by finding out about the soulless. As I did it I realized it looked different than normal, but by then it was too late -- I'd sold my soul. After more than a year spent in the Neath, after enduring countless annoying cards of devils trying to butter me up, those crafty sons-of-guns finally got what they wanted via-4th-wall breaking trickery and deception. Which seems appropriate enough.
But I want to re-pose the question I've seen before: is there presently any way to get one's soul back, even over time, without spending fate? For a high level (stat-maxed or nearly so) character, in particular? I get the impression that the options may have changed over time, and also that some might be closed to the more advanced? I'm certainly not opposed to fate-spending in general, and have pumped a reasonable amount into the FL economy, but it annoys me on principle to drop cash to recover from this sort of mishap, when I'd been so careful for so long.
On the bright side, does this finally mean that the "A Devil's Taken a Shine to You" card will go away forever? Or do I have to lose my soul via AIOD storyline to get those blasted cards to stop cluttering my deck?
Thanks much,
Cornelius.

I was *this* close to doing the same thing. It probably shouldn't be the first option in the card.

You can get it back through several sources of Bundles of Oddities, but I believe the most probable way is through Fun with the Fisher-Kings in the Flit. It'll still take persistence, but it's certainly possible to get it back without Fate.
"A Devil's Taken a Shine to You" will leave the deck for now, but will return once you get it back. You can also get rid of it by eradicating your connection to Hell.
