Summary
Dib had spent years consumed by Zim’s sudden and unexplained disappearance. He searched tirelessly for answers, but found nothing—no trace, no proof, no explanation. His father, always skeptical, eventually dismissed him as delusional, convinced that his son was losing his mind. But Dib knew the truth—Zim had been real, and his disappearance only made things more suspicious.
Over time, frustration and isolation took their toll. Realizing that no one believed him and that Earth held nothing for him anymore, Dib made a choice. He would leave—not to find Zim, but to escape. He spent years building his own spaceship, pouring everything he had into his one chance at freedom.
Finally, the day came. With one last, bitter farewell, Dib left Earth behind, disappearing into the vastness of space. His journey into the unknown had begun.
Meanwhile, somewhere far away, on an another planet, Zim was seen not as an invader or a threat, but more like a savior.
While the Irken Armada rebuilds itself silently, preparing for their ultimate battle. -

Summary
Dib breaks Gaz’s GS2, and out of pure spite she decides to fake-date Zim just to torture him.
Zim agrees in his classic oblivious fashion (with a few parasitic mind-control intentions of his own, of course), and the two begin spending far more time together than either expected.Unfortunately for Dib—and maybe the entire planet—Gaz becomes intrigued by the idea of having humanity at her feet and starts taking over Zim’s plans herself.
Zim, overwhelmed by how quickly things are spiraling out of his control, attempts to execute his own scheme early… only for a mishap with the parasite to create some unexpected consequences.(Platonic ZaGR; ITS ONLY IMPLIED GUYS(one sided :)

Summary
Dib makes to move away, but Gaz halts him with a vicious grip around his wrist, her thumbnail digging into the edge of a still-exposed cut. It makes fresh blood come to head, red, like every other human’s, but all the more precious. The crimson beads up, pools, threatens to spill over.
Evidence. Proof. Reality made manifest in the most visceral way possible.
There were only two successful cloning attempts.
Just two. Out of how many failures, how many discarded prototypes, how many almosts and not-quites?
Only Dad knows. Only Dad would never say.
“Gaz,” Dib says, voice wavering, younger suddenly, smaller, “you’re hurting me.”
OR:
Dib has a terrible habit. Gaz... deals with it.

Summary
An uncanny knack for survival that boy possessed, a vicious refusal to simply die.
Broken as his body was, as twisted and shredded, as the cloth on his back was tattered, as painfully it was clinging to his wound, he persisted. Bore the lacerations across his flesh, some still smoking and others oozing, with his head still above the rest; cradled the gaping wound in his abdomen like an expecting woman, careful of her forming young.
Were he Irken, he surely would’ve hit the Big Red Button implanted into his arm. Vortian, he’d do similar with a rigged, last-ditch-effort-only bracelet. Yet he persists, unsteady feet in boots full of popped blisters under him—he will survive. He will live.
OR;
Dib and Gaz have something stolen from them. By any means necessary, they will get it back.

Summary
Zim, a 11 year old Irken is sent to conquer mysterious planet “Urth” as a “top secret” mission by his Almighty Tallests, Red and Purple. He believes that this is a top secret mission, but that is further than the truth.
He meets a “Urthinoid” boy his age, Dibert “Dib” Membrane. A weird and kind of unhinged boy with a not-so-good reputation. His only friend is this other boy named Keef Cooksey, another social reject, who have an unlikely friendship despite their differing personalities.
Dib has a mean younger sister, Gazlene “Gaz” Membrane, who couldn’t care less about Zim.
Zim and Dib quickly become sworn enemies, but, will this be the case for the rest of their lives? Or will this be subject to change?

Summary
this is my first work on a03 so I'm not sure how this works :[
Dib has had a terrible week and fallen into a bad headspace. Zim wants to get back to their normal routine, and get Dib out of his schmoopy act.. Irkens aren't experienced with human emotion, and it seems he has only scraped the surface of what dib is really going through.this is just gonna be a quick thing I think :]

Gaz and Gir team up to try and get the boys to work things out. Tons of silliness follows.
