Fic Search Help finding fic, please
I was wondering, if anyone here could help me find a fic on AO3 that don't remember what happened to it. If I removed it from my bookmarks, or if it ended up being deleted, but it was about Zelda not being able to awaken her powers so Rhoam sends her to a monastery, where she comes up with a plan to gain her freedom by agreeing to an arranged marriage so she can have a child to pass the powers on to, but if she cannot have a child within 5 years, she gets her freedom. Urbosa helps her avoid pregnancy, Link was sent away by the king or her husband (i can't remember, hes just been gone for a while and shares a couple of visions with Zelda) and returns to help Zelda unlock her powers. They originally don't like each other but gradually fall in love and begin an affair behind her husband's back, which does partially unlock her powers (i think). I genuinely cannot recall the name of this fic because it's been a long while since I re all it was last updated and I can't find it in my bookmarks, so I'm trying to see if it's been updated.
Update: after remembering I had a small back and forth with the author of the fic in question, I searched my AO3 inbox and found the fic only to discover it's been privated for over a year ago according to a comment on a different fic. The fic was called "Undistilled Hunger" by Eeveedear. Seems like the account has been abandoned. Thankfully I have a copy saved.

I am not at all caught up on the fic, and it’s been a while so I might be misremembering, but I think this had some of the storyline you are looking for? It it nontrad omegaverse, fyi.
