Summary
Benjamin Hargrove never gave much thought to the family that had abandoned him or the twin brother he'd never known. He lived a quiet life, working on the pier, spending his days out on the water, and keeping himself busy. That is, until the day a startled, doe-eyed brunette called him "Billy" before passing out at his feet.

Summary
“So,” Heather says, in between bites of her salad. “There’s a party at Brimborn on Saturday.”
Billy frowns. “The fuck is Brimborn?”
It’s times like these that Heather’s reminded that Billy hasn’t lived in Hawkins his whole life. He’s only been here for about eight months, but he’d made his place in her friend group so perfectly it feels like he’s always been here.

Summary
They didn’t return last night.
That’s never happened before.
It was the first rule they made when they moved to the lab. No one goes out at night. The creatures of the Upside Down are far more active during the night.
They’ve been out there for twenty eight hours and thirteen minutes. Robin’s barely slept. The same’s true for most of the others, she knows.

Summary
In which fighting a pack of interdimensional monsters was the easy part, and now Billy has to figure out how to come to terms with his new normal.
Post Season 2 AU. Pre Season 3.
I'd recommend reading part 1 (Inside Out) before jumping into this one.
"Wondering when the hell he’d become such a fucking pushover, Billy reluctantly reached up and took hold of Steve’s offered hands, locking a startled yelp in his throat when the senior misjudged his own strength – or how much Billy weighed – and used way too much force to yank him to his feet. They collided with a chorus of grunts and curses, treading on each other’s feet and briefly sharing the same air.
In the next instant Billy sent Steve stumbling backwards with a reflexive shove – the sudden closeness provoking a harsh spike of anxiety within his chest despite it being Steve – and in the instant after that he was pulling the senior back towards himself, protecting the bumbling idiot from falling ass first into the fire."

It’s easy to fall for the tricks, the lies of someone who is gentle with you, someone who treats you like you are the most beautiful person to walk the planet, it’s so easy to make a mistake when that mistake tastes like color.

Summary
“I’m in love with you.”
The words make Eddie stop in his tracks, staring at Billy with utter disbelief. The months and months of insisting he wasn’t queer, that he didn’t even like Eddie, that he was just fucking Eddie for the weed and now he was admitting something that was so obvious but sounded so utterly wrong from Billy’s lips.
“That’s not–” Eddie mumbled, tears immediately springing to his eyes, “That’s not funny at all,” he whispered, waiting for Billy to burst into laughter but he continued staring at Eddie with that stupid, blank expression. “Billy…” he uttered shakily.
or
Billy is possessed and lures Eddie into his trap.

Summary
Billy’s boredom has been an issue ever since he moved to Hawkins. Nothing seemed sufficient anymore. He would consider Hawkins the most boring town in the world, if only the weird and mysterious event of Will Byers disappearance never happened.
Maybe unearthing the mysteries around his vanishing could be his ticket to cure his boredom. But for that, he would have to grow closer to the kid, and gain his trust.
