Child's Fave Invader Zim Fics
Invader Zim Fics I've read that have Quality to them (Zen & the art of Motorcycle Maintenance type "Quality") within my pairing (or no-pairing) preferences. Finished AND unfinished fics. (really unsure if I'm using collections correctly, first time playing around with this function)

Summary
"Invader? Is that your encoding?"
"Is that not what I said?" The idiocy of this one. The gall. The ineptitude. Zim spoke slow and enunciated. "Invader."
"No, I heard you very well." The evaluator shook her head and smiled at him in a way nobody had ever smiled at him before. It was gentle and… kind. It was very kind. "Oh, but Zim. We both know that's not true."

Summary
With his life grinding to a halt, Dib feels as though he no longer has any control over his destiny. However, a chance encounter gives him the opportunity to rebuild his future. Power, control, immortality. The only cost is his humanity. Is it worth abandoning an empty life in the light for a fulfilling eternity in the dark?

Summary
“You know, you’ve arrived at the perfect time. We have a fight scheduled shortly, but one of our challengers has tragically succumbed to her injuries. We need a replacement, and Zoom appears to be a suitable candidate.”
“Are these fights to the death?” Dib asked, forcing the waver out of his voice.
Smikka laughed. “Not to worry, Captain. That wouldn’t be sustainable entertainment. Besides, Irkens are notoriously difficult to kill… Though if any creature knows how to destroy an Irken, it’s another Irken.”
[Intergalactic adventurers Dib and Zim find themselves in over their heads after stumbling upon a gladiatorial space station that pits ex-invaders against each other for the entertainment of formerly conquered societies. Featuring: undercover shenanigans, existential debates, and what it means to trust in your friends.]

Summary
Over a decade after the Florpus Hole incident, Dib and Zim have settled into a strange friendship that's taken them off-world and into the depths of space, debunking myths and defeating monsters (for a reasonable price, of course). After a close call for Dib in a previous expedition, Zim has picked up the perfect odd-job: low risk, high pay, nothing that would jeopardize his traveling companion's wellbeing, not that he's worried about it. Unfortunately, Zim's inability to read the fine print leads to a crustacean-themed catastrophe. With Zim's PAK malfunctioning and his life in danger, both human and Irken will have to confront past traumas if they want to make it off the planet alive.

Summary
Get in, get the goods, get out. That was the advice Dib and Zim had been given about the black market planet called Currus. With the Voot Cruiser out of commission and Zim's PAK in need of repair, their plans to pursue their new nemesis - a former Control Brain engineer hellbent on reviving the fallen Irken Empire - are temporarily on hold. But that's nothing a little shopping trip can't fix, right?
Unfortunately, what starts as a supply run swiftly transforms into something far deadlier. The boys find themselves in a high-stakes round-the-world race, facing off against a field of bloodthirsty competitors for the chance to reclaim a vital treasure.
Many dangers await Dib and Zim within the unforgiving wilds of Currus, including a childhood adversary, hungry alien beasties, and an ever-expanding lie that threatens to shatter their hard-won partnership for good.

Summary
One of Zim's broodmates becomes an icon of Irken propaganda, but continues to resist the whims of the state. She is assassinated at the height of her career, and Zim is burdened with seeking justice.
In reality, this is a lot of sad musing on: how freedom dies slowly when no one is looking; how organized religion and fascism will try to work together, but to no avail; how manufactured heroes can backfire on their creators; and how no leader is safe from their people's wrath.
