   • basically use the robby and abbot scene at the end of the season 1 on the roof as a reference to this scene
   • Robby and Dana are gonna have more and more lines as the story progresses
   • second focused dynamic is Langdon and Robby while the first dynamic is Langdon and Santos
   • past drug abuse mentioned
   • I don’t feel like tagging all the characters that will pop up in the story
   • We barely have scenes with Caleb so my interpretation of the psychiatrist may be different from yours
   • Robby is being kind of an asshole to Langdon or about Langdon in general
   • please don't read this fic if you have any past with drug involved addiction I care about your mental health
   • of course al-hashimi will be here
   • pov switching I try to keep it balanced of course
   • but langdon is still the main character throughout other povs as well
   • Author is sleep deprived I barely sleep to write this fic so like please excuse any stupid mistakes I graduated college I swear I’m smart
   • Referencing trinity Santos self harm
   • self harm for Langdon
   • seriously guys I have plans to make this fic very heavy and angsty because frankly being an adult sucks and I hate my own life too

   Summary

   Okay, so this new episode brought me out of my writer's block, I decided to start a fic. Anyway, the start of the fic is think Abbot and Robby scene at the end of season 1, but this time it's my chaotic duo, Langdon and Santos.

   For the entire fic the summary would be basically if I wrote the rest of the Pitt season 2 and it was Langdon focused and his journey to renter his place in the hospital, using the dynamics the season has given us so far. So you will see multiple dynamics but langtos is the starting point

   Major trigger warning for mental health, suicide attempt, talks about it etc. Heavy talks about recovery from drug abuse so please read at your own discretion. I care about your mental health guys.

   March 16th: This was originally a one shot but I got comments so far saying people would love this to be a multi chapter fic so that is happening!
