Enemies-to-lovers PNR with ArchAngel Nate and ArchDemon Aeron, formerly posted on AO3?
This is a long shot but you guys are my last hope. In June 2020, I read a story called Unearthly on AO3. It was about ArchAngel Nate who was forced into retirement on earth after his wings got badly damaged during a battle. He works as a cop in the UK and his female partner is an important side character. His long time enemy ArchDemon Aeron also works on earth as some type of CEO. They keep interacting with each other and eventually fall in love. I remember two scenes vividly. One where Aeron is being held hostage and Nate turns on his ArchAngel Badass Mode to rescue him. Another scene was Nate allowing Aeron to see and touch his damaged wings and it was really emotional before turning into sexy times.
The story was incredibly well written but chapter updates abruptly stopped before it was completed (66K words had been posted) and months later, the story and the author's profile were wiped from AO3. I don't know the author's name but I've been hoping that she pulled the story for publication and has since published it because I'm desperate to read it again (and get an ending).
Has anybody come across this book? If not, I would love to know any info about this author. She's incredibly talented and I would love to read anything she publishes.

This is an even bigger long shot, but if you still have the link in your search history (if your browser filters by month and year that'll help, or you could try searching), you can put that link in the wayback machine at archive.org. If it was archived (and it may not have been) that should give you the author's name and potentially some additional search terms.
I hope that helps. And good luck! I really do hope you find it.
Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately, my habit of nuking my entire internet history on a daily basis means this isn't an option. Believe me, I'm kicking myself.
I started manually going through the wayback machine's archive from AO3's original works fandom pages from June 2020 but it means going through 90,000 stories so I was hoping I could cheat by asking people on this sub for help. Since I haven't had any luck, I'll go back to scrolling through the 90,000 stories so I'll hopefully find the author's name if nothing else.
Oh goodness. Well, I really do hope you find it!
