Hi everyone,
I'm looking for a fic and an author and I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
1) Fic: I've asked about this here once before, but I'm hoping that I might have better luck in the New Year. It's
Dean/Castiel. Lucifer and Castiel are both werewolves, they've been exiled from their pack (I believe Lucifer insinuated that it was because he'd killed a human/hunter) and Lucifer has become the alpha of their pack of two with Castiel forced to remain as a wolf full time. Dean is a hunter who has been tracking werewolves/Lucifer in particular. Lucifer captures him and brings him back to cabin where he and Castiel are living. Dean thinks that Cas is just a wolf that Lucifer is mistreating. Lucifer tortures Dean, who does still try to be kind to wolf!Cas. In the end, while Lucifer is out hunting, Castiel slips out, turns human and tells Dean that his name is Jimmy and that he's another hunter, there to rescue him. Dean refuses to leave without the wolf, so Cas/Jimmy says that he saw a dead wolf while coming up the way. A heartbroken Dean leaves with Cas/Jimmy. I believe the story is a one-shot (or was when I read it). Any help at all is vastly appreciated; I've been looking for ages and my search-fu is not turning up anything.

2) Author: This one is a bit more of a long shot, I'm afraid. I stumbled across this author's masterlist after reading one of her stories (which I can no longer remember what that story was) and they had listed a LadyHawke AU, unposted, that they were planning on writing. The summary on the ML was that it was Terrible Life AU where Dean was a rising star at Sandover, arrogant, and as punishment, he was forced to work with Zachariah's (his supervisor) nephew, Castiel. Only, instead of punishment, the two of them fell in love. Zachariah was furious and cursed them, turning Dean into a wolf by day (night?) and Castiel into a hawk by night (day?), like in the original movie. I'd love to find the author again; they had other wonderful stories I meant to read, but I only remembered the unwritten one (of course).
