Summary
In the show ER, there's an episode where John Carter reveals to his coworkers that he lost his virginity at eleven to a housemaid in her twenties. I took that prompt, put Langdon in his place, and brought in a few friends to react with the appropriate amount of horror upon hearing that.
Plus, a conversation between him and Santos, talking about what happened to both of them respectively, and the terror of being known by your sort of friend.

Summary
Trinity Santos isn't good at relationships. With women, with God, with her family... and she's content as she is, really. Touch-starved and repulsed all at once, avoiding anything that might bring her pleasure, quietly resenting everything she loves. When an encounter with a religious patient has her rethinking what religion can be, she begins to wonder if there's something more for her than the life of numbness and isolation she's built.

Summary
“Wanna talk about it?”
She hesitates. “You wouldn’t get it.”
“I don’t have to get it to listen.”
She sighs, lifting her head to tilt it back on the headrest. “It’s just… you get to go to this party and talk to anyone you want, and—and touch, and make out with any girl you want, and no one bats an eye. But I have to stand off to the side like a stupid—like a statue, because I can’t trust myself not to act weird around the wrong person and end up being fucking— stoned in the street ‘cause this is Hawkins, Indiana.”
or, robin buckley, trust, and the horrors of being queer at a valentine’s party

Summary
Season 4 goes a bit differently. It goes a little like this: Mike and Max are both depressed. They can't talk to the rest of the party because half are in California, Dustin is clinging to Eddie like a koala, and Lucas has gone full jock. Somewhere along the way, they realize they have more in common than they imagined.
Or, Mike and Max falling in love during high school (and Season 4's Upside Down never happens).
