Summary
“Cultures from all across the globe have tried to answer this question,” Ms. Bitters intoned, tapping her ruler against the chalkboard. Scrawled on it, white against black, were the words Why am I here? “It is the root of many philosophies, such as existentialism…”
What a stupid question, Dib thought, glancing at the chalkboard with narrowed eyes. He knew exactly why he was put on Earth: to stop Zim. And as soon as the bell rang 3:30, he’d do it.

Summary
Not all of Zim's defects are useless and, now that The Almighty Tallest learnt that, he might finally get to be treated like he wanted to be this whole time. Right. Just like he wanted.
I'm so so so sorry it's taking so long! My uni is killing me slowly and painfully. I'll get back to TINYCD as soon as I get the time to, promise. Thank you for your patience.

Summary
One day, an 11-year-old boy is kidnapped by an alien who says he came from the future, where they were very close. Dib Membrane is thrilled by his new acquaintance and his first friend in his life. But the alien himself, despite his words, is somewhat dubious. He belongs to the most dangerous race in the Universe, wears the form of an Invader and hates humanity. And he is also a war criminal and a mass murderer. Is Zim really a friend for Dib? Or is this all another cunning plan?

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.

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
ZiM realizes how terrible his superior body has been acting. He’s shaking, why is he shaking?
This is a piece of my AU Distress To Relax slapped into this prompt, I think this scene fits more than what I had originally written. If you want more of ZiM experiencing feelings and eventually going crazy, check out DTR :)

Summary
Existence Evaluations. Everyone knew and feared them. To be subject to an Existence Evaluation is to have everything you are laid bare for the witnesses of your Evaluation. To have your memories displayed for the Judges to see. To have your fate decided between continued existence…and deletion, a fate worse than death.

Summary
Zim doesn't want to believe his mission is fake. He can't accept that its true
And so he buries himself layers deep in denial, bottling everything up until it all spills over.
In a fit of rage, he messes up own PAK, only causing more problems for himself all the while denying that anything is wrong. Skoodge is gone, having been called back to the Massive by the Tallest, and Zim is now plagued with lapses in memory, hallucinations, and overheating caused by the self inflicted damage to his PAK. Despite knowing something's wrong, he presses on, still in denial. Even Dib notices that something is off about the little Irken. And it doesn't take long for it all to come crashing down. -

Summary
Dib sat and wondered what the point in the conversation was, till he registered the last sentence Zim said. *Dib-stink! I can tell that your feeble human feeling are in the way, but I won't let mine ruin this mission!"* Oh god, did Zim think he has feelings for him?!
Or
In the battlefield of love, will the two win together or lose together? -

Summary
—ZiM… Si tú y yo no tuviéramos que ser enemigos, si no tuviéramos diferentes ideales y metas ¿Crees que podríamos haber sido buenos amigos? — Tras eso Dib escucho por primera vez una auténtica carcajada de diversión provenir de ZiM. Bueno, de su ZiM.
—¿Tu y ZiM? ¿Amigos? Incluso si no tuviera una misión que cumplir, no sería amigo de un mono terrestre como tu
—Ugh… olvídalo. Sabía que sería imposible
—¡Suficiente! ¿Que sucede contigo gusano? Has estado actuando raro desde que regresaste de la dimensión de castigo.
—Lo se... —Dijo Dib, sonando frustrado y suspiro antes de darse la vuelta e irse sin decir nada más.
ZiM en un intento por deshacerse de Dib crea un artefacto que lo enviaría a una dimensión de perdición, donde llovían cristales del cielo, y el calor era abrazador, pero como siempre su plan tuvo un ligero fallo y en lugar de aparecer en el lugar destinado a su muerte, despertó de nuevo en el laboratorio de ZiM, pero sin ser el laboratorio de ZiM, oh bueno no el de su ZiM.
¿Lo más extraño? Lo cercano que parece actuar este ZiM, llamándolo entre apodos no tan ofensivos como a los que esta acostumbrado.

Summary
"Тепер, коли Діб підійшов ближче, він міг розгледіти, що синці рубиновими очима Зіма стали глибшими і темно-зеленими… що добре контрастувало з його неприродньо попелястою шкірою.
― Що насправді відбувається, Зіме?
― Це тебе не стосується, смердюче, ― той спробував відштовхнути Діба. Раніше це далося б йому без будь-яких зусиль, але цього разу він просто вдерся в живіт Діба руками і якщо б не це, то скоріш за все, впав би на підлогу. ― Добре! Поки що твоїй дурній планеті нічого не загрожує. Це тільки тимчасова пауза, бо Зім має інше завдання!"___
"Now, as Dib moved closer, he could see that the bruises under Zim's ruby eyes had become deeper and darker green… a nice contrast to his unnaturally ashen skin.
― What's really going on, Zim?
― This is none of your business, stinky human, ― the tried to push Dib away. Previously he would have done it without any effort, but this time he simply dug his hands into Dib's stomach and if it hadn't been for that, he would most likely have fallen to the floor. ― Good! So far, nothing threatens your stupid planet. But don't relax! This is only a temporary pause, because Zim has another task!" -

Summary
"ZiM… If you and I didn’t have to be enemies—if we didn’t have such different ideals and goals—do you think we could’ve been good friends?"
For the first time, Dib heard a genuine laugh—an actual burst of amusement from ZiM.
Well… from his ZiM."You? Friends with ZiM? Even without a mission to fulfill, I wouldn’t befriend a filthy Earth monkey like you!"
"Ugh… forget it. I knew it was a stupid idea."
"Enough! What’s wrong with you, worm? You’ve been acting weird ever since you came back from the punishment dimension."
"I know..." Dib said, sounding frustrated, before turning away and walking off without another word.
O: In an attempt to finally get rid of Dib, ZiM creates a device meant to send the human to a dimension of doom—one where crystals rain from the sky and the heat is blistering.
But, as always, his plan has a minor flaw, and instead of landing in a place meant for his doom, Dib wakes up in ZiM’s lab again. Only… it’s not his ZiM’s lab.And the weirdest part?
This version of ZiM is surprisingly nice, calling him nicknames that aren’t nearly as insulting as he’s used to.Series
