Summary
Zim chooses to follow during one of Dib’s paranormal investigations, unbeknownst to Dib. After escaping, arguing, and barely surviving, the boys find it hard to go back to their old dynamic. Dib is cold and harsh, embracing the change in their dynamic whilst Zim is avoidant and quiet, desperately trying to return to how they were. Gaz and Gir team up to try and get the boys to work things out. Tons of silliness follows.

Summary
What happens when you put 7 people in a college all with experience in the supernatural and paranormal?
Chaos.
Chaos ensues.
NOTE: I have made this into a series with each of the oneshots being their own work. It’s called It’s Gonna Get Weird. I did this to give them all separate ratings, archive warnings etc. I’m also editing them as I do so, which means they might be longer with more detail or just not having many spelling/grammar errors. So consider this the drafts I suppose.
Also don’t expect the chapters to be in order timeline-wise. I’m just writing them and posting them bc I’m too lazy to put them in order.
Inspired by sirina77’s Us College Kids and nschimm (skullsulked)’s Dipper, Dib and Wirt are Roommates

Summary
Aliens Exist is a rewrite of the classic Nicktoon Invader Zim. It features my own headcanons, changes, interpretations and how I personally would’ve written the show.
It includes plenty of references to alternative music and alternative subcultures, but especially Emo, Scene and sometimes Goth.
It takes place in a more technology advanced version of 2001 / 2002 and takes place in a strange fictional version of Detroit Michigan.
The story follows our main character, Zim. An 11 year old Irken “Invader.” He believes that this is a top secret mission and thinks that his Almighty Tallest think highly of him, but this couldn’t be further from the truth. Red and Purple, Zim’s Tallest sent to Earth as a suicide mission, and do not think highly of him at all. They see it as just a stupid “Defect.” And nothing more.
Zim quickly becomes enemies with an Earth child named Dib. The two become sworn enemies, but unfortunately for them.. they eventually fall in love. Much to the horror of the two.

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?

Basically if I had written IZ. Featuring my own headcanons, interpretations, and ships. :)This fic has now been completed!

Summary
Zim finds out his mission is fake and is forced to stay on earth for the rest of his life. Dib eventually finds out about this and notices that Red and Purple, The Tallest of irk, want to kill Zim, which could lead earth in danger, so he gets involved. The two enemies must work together and team up to escape this threat, eventually learning they're not so different and there's more than meets the eye to each other. Yes this story contains ZaDr but Zim is 13 irken years old in this because I said so. I don't care if Jhonen says Zim is 160, if he can ship Zim with Gaz, I can ship Zim with Dib if I want. If you don't like the ship, that's completely valid, you do you but please don't read if you're only gonna spread hate.

Summary
When Dib Membrane discovers the truth behind Zim’s mission, and, in turn, his purpose as Earth’s defender, the two must put aside their differences, forced to face a force greater than they ever could’ve imagined. With the threat of the Irken Empire growing ever closer, a strange group claiming resistance against their conquest, and a mysterious underlying ultimatum, it’s too late to simply stand aside. Thrust into space, bonds are stretched to the limit as the pair must come to terms that they might not be as different as they might’ve once thought.
AKA A full-scale space epic, where Dib and Zim might just be the key to save the universe from total annihilation. That is, if they can stop fighting each other long enough to do so.

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
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
It was just gone.
No explanations, no epic final battle, no confrontations – Zim’s base was just gone.
Dib stood at the edge of the crater, trying to piece it together in his head. They’d had a few fights in the last week, the same stuff as always. Zim threatens to invade the Earth, Dib swears to protect and avenge it, yadda yadda, same shit as usual, nothing ever changes. The fact that the alien’s base was now missing was…Concerning. Had Dib pushed too far?
Had Zim given up?
No.
No way.

Summary
Today was one of those days, in which Dib would stay bed-ridden and do nothing but feel bad about himself. Except, this time Zim won't leave him alone and Dib may just have to confront his feelings with his new boyfriend, even if the Irken doesn't quite understand it all.

Summary
Zim and Dib are in Hi-Skool now, still enemies and still fighting, when the apocalypse comes. An infestation of brainwashing alien leeches known as Lemsworth spreads throughout the town, zombifying its victims, and threatening to take over the world before Zim can. Begrudgingly, the two team up in a battle to save the Earth from its doom by pestilence. Of course, getting along is easier said than done, and Dib and Zim find themselves in the midst of an emotional reckoning among sewer-crazed hypnotics, alien death cults, and ghost moms.

Zim made a trap to his biggest enemy (Dib) that transforms him into one of his kind,and he probably learns that earth is a terrible planet.He ends up giving up for protecting earth maybe he thinks of earth different because he is not longer a human? Or because how no one belived him in the past? but this affected his sister later turning her into an irken too but that is time after he ends up being friends with Zim btw
