Okay, so I've been re-watching Supernatural again, and I just finished watching Sin City, from Season 3. It's a great episode, but there's this tiny scene at the end where Ruby is talking to Sam in the motel room, and he points the newly recreated Colt at her. She dangled getting Dean out of his deal at him to keep him from shooting her, but I couldn't help but wonder what would have happened if he had.

Are there any fics out there talking about how things would have been different without Ruby driving Sam on like that? Especially toward the beginning of Dean's deal, when he was less desperate?
