Chillingly brilliant, how you wrote Dean reverting to what he learned in hell on instinct.

I didn't read the notes at first, and for the first part of this I was trying to figure out if I'd read this or not, god I am lame. XD I was like, wait I think I did, and then like, BUT NO, I KNOW I DIDN'T READ THESE EXACT WORDS, NOT REALLY I SWEAR. Now it all makes sense!

I loooooved this part especially:

“He the one who taught you to pull a heart out like that?”

It’s like Dean’s been shocked-he flinches, his whole body, uncurls, stares at Benny in naked horror, appalled. “No,” he snarls, with a dangerous edge to his voice, and Benny lets it go.

Oh, Dean.

wow, awesome fic. Love how Purgatory makes Dean slip back to what he was in Hell; it actually makes so damn sense I wish it had been stressed more in the show. Well, thank god for fics! :D Dean not knowing his own name in hell (chilling) but still knowing Sam, is probably my fave part. thanks for exploring Purgatory and Hell so deep and for sharing with us. Lastly, it was absolutely great to read it from Benny's POV.

Re-reading this again, ages later... and I miss Benny. And man, do I miss when this was the darkest SPN was likely to get for Dean. *hugs him* And wow, excellent descriptions without any kind of delight in the torture process. Nicely done.
