Summary
Will Byers has spent most of his life on the sidelines.
Ever since he and his twin sister, Jane, presented as a rare male omega and female alpha, Will has lived his days inside a carefully crafted glass prison. In search of better medical care and more open-minded values, Joyce and Jim—their mother and stepfather—moved the entire family to Lenora, California.
Without the familiar bounds of Hawkins and the pack he and Jane grew up with, Will has been drifting. Over the years, the distance between him and his old friends has grown wider and wider, as he continues to struggle with his identity in a world that holds a stubborn, one-sided view of omegas.
With that struggle comes an unfortunate reality: even after four long years of dating, Will still can’t stop pining after his sister’s boyfriend—his childhood best friend—Mike Wheeler.
By now, Will should be used to the feeling of being second best. He isn’t.
When his frustration at feeling stuck in one place finally reaches its breaking point, he decides it’s time to give up and move on.In response, something stirs.
Fanfic title inspired by Second Best by The Last Dinner Party.

Summary
Maybe it’s the lingering adrenaline from the false alarm a moment ago, but Mike suddenly has a bad feeling deep in his gut. Something is off. Slowly, he walks around to look at Chrissy’s face.
White eyes. Rapid blinking. Unfocused. Unseeing.
Mike’s terror multiplies tenfold, heart rate ratcheting back up. He blinks and it’s Will standing in front of him, glaze-eyed and shaking, seizing, eyes twitching in their sockets, stuck in a waking nightmare as the Mind Flayer forces itself into every orifice.
He blinks again and it’s Chrissy, going through the same thing. Or something very similar.
Fuck. Not now. Not again.Or: After witnessing Chrissy's death, Mike finds himself on the frontlines of the latest interdimensional battle—and at the top of Hawkins’ Most Wanted list, as police, crazed townspeople, and otherworldly monsters all vie to get to him first.

Summary
“You should go back to sleep”, Mike mutters, but Will’s eyes are already flying over his face, and he is probably taking in the embarrassing number of tears, and the sweaty hair sticking onto his forehead and—
“You’re bleeding”, Will whispers, and then, as if the realization strikes just now as he says it out loud, his voice increases in volume, but shakes harder all the more, “Mike, there’s— there’s blood pouring from your mouth.”
Mike would have been perfectly content with never exploring the depth of his repressed feelings, if it wasn't for the deadly flowers blooming in his lungs.
