Wow... so my eyes were watering and my nose was stinging when I finished the fic. If it had been any longer I think I would've ended up bawling. Awesome job. :)

oh wow! this was so good! I know you wrote this over four years ago, but OMG! this was so good. i was in tears reading this.

oun... tirou lágrimas de meus olhos. perfeito!

Great idea and well-done story.

Just read this...again...Crying...again. Thanks. Wish it happened that way.

Wow! That Sam pulled the trigger-just missed Dean-that totally threw me for a loop! Usually I can guess what happens next but I was pleasantly surprised by the twist of the moment. I wish they had a similar scene in the series. Damned TV time constraints, lemme tell you.

Wow... what a powerful story... I remember this episode and I felt for both of them... I think sometimes words are said without thought really... miss the season 1 brothers... but like all things change...

I must admit I started to read your story AFTER reading your commentary in your profile... I just had to check what is so controversial!

And you know what? I don't get it... I don't understand those attacks and flames! YOUR STORY IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL! Heartbraking and sad...

And it actually changed my opinion about that episode!

Dean's words escaped me a bit, I kind of forget about them! After hateful talk caused by Siren I was so shocked that I could just think about that conversation. When I analyzed it, I judged Sam's words as a lot worse than Dean's. How could he make fun of Dean's trauma from Hell? And Dean? He just wanted to get his little brother back! That is what I thought.

Like I said, I kind of forgot about "banging monsters".

I really love "Heart" - it is one of the best episodes of the show (in my humble opinion, of course!). Dean's words were thoughtless and cruel. They were a result of growing conflict between Winchesters, a result of anger and hurt buried in Dean's heart.

I am not longer sure if Sam was "worse" in this episode. I think I would call it even. They both hurt each other in a cruel way.

Your story is really great, the tension during the scene with gun was palpable - it made me hold my breath! Wonderful story!

I know that it is not easy but please, try to ignore flames... You know what they say: There is no medicine for stupidity.

I can't remember if I've reviewed this piece before, but I read the info on your profile about this and I knew I had to say something.

I think this is one of the first pieces I added to my favorites list because I loved it. I cried a little at the end of that episode and wished there was a way to fix what happened. Your work did a good job at that, trying to mend that wound that just continued to fester throughout the rest of season four.

It sucks to think people would actually be that hurtful and comment/message the way they did. Everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion, but there's a way to express that respectfully. Even after I've read some pieces I didn't like or didn't agree with, if I reviewed it was constructive.

I hope you continue to write because you write so well. So, high five to you and I'll beam some positive thoughts your way. :)

Holy crap, that was a dramatic and tragic one, huh? I loved it though. I remember the episode clearly, it was real hard for me. Thrilling - but man, seeing them fight against each other like this was hard as we all know,the later episodes of the seasons were much harder *lol*

The thing with Madison was kinda cruel,yes, I agree. Although I didn't find it that bad and I was content with Sam's still, Dean saying that made my heart jump painfully, and I'm a Dean!girl !

You did a great job here, I really loved , it's really schmoopy and therefore a little too out of character but I'm totally okay with that and that's why it's fanfiction and LOVED the Sam-kisses-Dean-on-the-forehead-thingy.

VERY well done!

I loved your story but I just don't understand why people feel they need to flame others. (

I'm more of a Sam girl BUT I still like Dean. I mean the show is about both brothers. So I don't get how these "fans" can watch the show when the hate one of the bothers to the point were they want said bother killed off.

It's like watching Gilmore Girls and hating the mum. XD

Anyway don't let the flamers upset you, this is a amazing story.

Lovely, really, truly, lovely. And I can hardly see a reason for people to get so angry over this. Honestly, I am a full out Dean girl (I adore Sam but I love Dean. I think it's because I'm more like Dean than Sam) and I think that what you've written here's justified by the episode.

And I know a thing or two about nasty PMs and reviews. Little people do things like what are listed on your profile. It's just a story. It's just your POV. And if they don't like it, I do believe there are more critically accurate ways of expressing it than sicking hell-hounds on you.

:) Congratulations on a moving and excellent piece.

I don't understand why thie received such bad reviews. I thought this was handled well. No death threats from me ;)

Good job! ]

Muffy, loved this oneshot. A little confused at why there was so much controversy? Maybe you could explain it? French is my first language but I can understand english and just am not sure why there was so much in the reviews!

I found your page on the favorite authors page of one of my favorite fic writers, and after reading your about me page I had to read this one first to see what all the fuss was about. I too am disheartened by the division that has developed in this fandom.

I identify a little bit more towards Sam than Dean myself, but I love both brothers. I don't think you can truly appreciate all the emotional nuances of this show if you don't have the ability to see the trial that the brothers go through from both of the boys perspectives.

This forum of fanfiction exists so that we as fans can explore the moments where the show leaves us guessing, and I find it very troubling that people would show you such negative and violent reaction for your participation in that, soley because it did not mesh with their own point of view.

I applaud you on your own courage to make such a bold statement.
