The story of how Tim became a world-class thief, learned to be a kid, and was unofficially adopted by a cat, a bat, and some birds.
Not necessarily in that order.

Summary
"If he had turned around a fraction of a second later, he would have missed it—and he was still half-convinced he’d imagined the whole thing.
...
It’s not like his pride was hurt or anything. He was just…curious."Cat is a little more observant when he talks to a certain plucky classmate in Evillustrator and sees something he was never supposed to see. Friendship, puns, anxiety, romance, and an even more convoluted love square ensue.

Summary
The real reason Steve never really dates anymore is this: the nightmares and the secrets behind them.

Summary
Steve knows the complicated jumble of feelings that Eddie is dealing with well–it’s the way he felt while Dustin told him not to worry about Max driving the car, pressing an ice pack to his battered face, the way he felt when he realized that, despite everything, they hadn’t been willing to leave him behind.
To be loved, to be shown love, is a concept that Steve still struggles with, even when he craves it desperately.
