Summary
What if Billy Hargrove was a better, slightly more well-adjusted person throughout the events of season two? Also, what if he had similar abilities to Eleven?
Here's my take on that.
Season 2 AU.
"There was something condensing at the far end of the street, shadows shifting unnaturally as the red sky darkened to black. Billy instinctively tightened his hold on Byers, unconsciously beginning to back away from the shadowy thing that was growing darker and taller by the second. He'd nearly been driven insane by the intangible sense of danger that had haunted him since moving to Hawkins, but there was no relief in finally seeing the thing that had set off all his alarm bells. He couldn't punch a goddamned shadow. What the fuck."

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.”
