Ok, I will admit that I was starting to get pissed off around the time that Dean drowned the kitten. I was like "What the Hell?!" But, I am so glad that I read it all the way to the ending! Kudos to you because I have honestly never seen a fic like this! To have Dean never having Sam's love is just completely and totally unthinkable. All to SAVE Sam... Wonderful job!

I begin to read it and was going to stop because Dean is not like that, I countinued because I couldn't believe what he was doing and my mind kept telling there's something else. In fact there was, your turn was brilliant but sad and painful, and it left a bitter taste. Excellent idea but very very cruel.

I have to be honest with you.

As I read this, I was angry-I hated it-how could anyone say this???-IT WAS BRILLANT!!!!!!

That would be the only reason Dean would be so ICE COLD to Sam.

Great twist- it really hurt to read this.

Perfect decoy to the real truth.

OUTSTANDING WORK!!!!.

Hehe - this is wonderful to hear, because that's exactly what I was going for! I'm glad the sucker-punch at the end worked for you. 

Thanks for the review!

Very well written and so what a real evil b*****d of a daemon would demand but so so sad to have Dean have to do that to Sam. Broke my heart!  Bird x

Author's Response:

Agreed. Maybe the Crossroads demon did have a bit of a heart not to make Dean go through this, eh?

Thanks for the review!

Ok, i admire your imagination. This twist is a very original one and it is entirely plausible that a deal like this could had been struck. Maybe the demon didn't think too far enough to think of this.

Having said that, i thank God that the deal that he made doesn't turn out this way. I would rather see him having one year to live than the rest of his life working to make Sammy hate him, and that is saying something since i don't really want to see him die in any way. it would be the absolute worst deal he could ever made. Hell is preferable than this. 

Author's Response:

I agree, I'm grateful he never made a deal like this either! These boys need each other!

However, like you said, Dean would have if that was what the demon required of him, and that's the kicker here. 

Our poor messed up boys...

At first I didn't understand what was going on and when it all became clear, it took my breath away. That was thoroughly brilliant! I just wanna cry after reading that. I have always thought that the only real reason why they've survived is that they have had each other. Their lives are so messed up but at least they can always lean on each other. This little oneshot takes it away. The ending is a real kickass too 'cause for Dean a world where Sam doesn't care about him really is Hell.

You destroyed them amazingly.

I am totally freaked out! As I read I was thinking 'man, this is dark' and wondering where you were taking us. How can anyone write Dean this cold? This is SAM!!

But holy hell what a kicker!! "Pain in life is so much more interesting than pain in death" Just brilliant!! The absolute supreme sacrifice and agony for Dean is a life without Sam's love. To wear this to save Sam's life "...there is no hesitation in his voice when he says "Deal" - you have nailed Dean in the ultimate sacrifice we know he'd gladly pay. Your wrote of Dean cultivating this cold and cruel relationship with the precision that only Dean could pull off over an entire lifetime. My heart broke as you showed us Dean's true self in his eyes and Sam's hope and desperation when he saw it. This evil deal making both boys miserable and in direct contradition to their hearts.

My heartbreak is also around the question: to pull this off would Dean at some level remember the first time round? My darkside is thinking he would have to for the torture to be effective?!?!

As a possibility this is sooo disturbing, as a fic it is brilliantly written. I actually read it twice to get my head around the concept!! Great work.

Author's Response:

As to your question about Dean remembering, I kept it in mind throughout the entire writing process that Dean remembered everything. After all, the demon wants to make it as painful for him as possible, so to remember a lifetime where Sam did love him and to live a life where Sam now didn't would be the worst Hell she could envision for him. This was how I saw it, anyways.

Thanks for the review!

This almost left me speechless, it's so hard to describe, but I would have to say it's  brilliant in such a disturbing way.
