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
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
After a cheerful blow to the head from GIR leaves 17-year-old Dib concussed, Zim keeps him in his base for a week—observing, “caring,” and misinterpreting everything. When Dib returns home to find no one noticed he was gone, this time he feels the full impact of how no one would care if something fatal actually happened to him. Zim thinks they’ve bonded. Dib’s too tired to argue.

Summary
Dib is too terrified of rejection to ask you out, and so he summons a demon to make you fall in love with him. He quickly learns that you should never, ever accept a demon's deal without negotiating first.
When he confronts you, you can immediately tell that something's deeply wrong. You have to choose; do you talk him out of it? Or do you keep your mouth shut and see what happens?
A choose-your-own-ending story, with one fluffy ending and the other… decidedly not. College AU, fem reader.

Summary
Dib had recently got his hands on a cutting-edge, top-secret piece of technology from his father's lab; it's a cloaking device known as the Phantom, which allows the user to become not just perfectly invisible, but also incorporeal. He had been stalking you for two months, and this device was about to take that to the next level. He promises himself that he's just doing it to observe you in your natural environment, and that he'll leave as soon as you do anything that would be inappropriate to watch. Too bad that he immensely overestimates his capacity for self-control.

Summary
In the short time you had been dating him, Dib had discovered a part of himself that he truly hates; a sickening, maddening jealousy that he desperately tries to conceal from you. After a man makes a move on you at a bar, he can no longer restrain himself from venting his frustrations, but instead of lashing out in anger, he chooses to express himself through a means you find far more palatable.
(College AU, she/her fem reader. This is both a follow up to Folie à Deux and its own self-contained story.)

Summary
Dib is a depressed, lonely college student who has long since given up on his aspirations of becoming a paranormal investigator. He picks a random art class to fill an elective, and less than 24 hours after seeing you in his class for the first time, he is completely out of his mind for you. Two weeks later, you fill every free thought, every spare minute, and even his dreams; no matter how much he fantasizes, he could never let himself imagine that you actually want him back.
You're a college student and paranormal content creator with a decade-long fixation for the claims made by "Mothman58" on a now-shuttered UFO enthusiast forum. You may be the only other person in the world who actually believes this stuff, but you just know there's something to it. You're the only one who can get this information out there. You have to.
