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
It is a dark time for the universe. The Irken Empire's latest attempt at conquest, Operation Impending Doom 2, has begun and within months, many worlds have fallen under Irk's banner. Among them are the Vortians, former allies of the Irkens that have been punished for their 'betrayal'. Their homeworld, along with many of their colony worlds, have fallen. The remaining Vortian-controlled worlds are under siege.
Their military is outgunned and outnumbered, on the verge of breaking entirely. Many of them have already lost hope and are just fighting on out of spite. The Vortians need a new plan. They need a way to buy enough time for themselves and their allies enough to regroup and reorganise. To unite the universe against their true enemy.
Lard Nar, former top scientist and now military commander, has resigned himself to dying at the hands of the Vortians’ former ally. He wasn’t expecting to be recruited for the Federation Remnants’ latest resistance plan. Nor was he expecting to be one of his people’s greatest champions in their war against the Empire…

CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE FAMILIAL KIND by PaintedVanilla for MartiansFromMars
Fandoms: Invader Zim

Summary
Zim is Irken. Celia knows this because she is Irken, too. Zim held her as a smeet. Zim is 7,000 years old, and a rebel, and he knows exactly who Celia is. He can't comment on that, though, on account of his PAK currently serving as a surveillance device for the Irken Empire. One slip, and The Hive will recognize his treason and execute him remotely.
So Zim is pretending to be a loyal Irken soldier, and on top of that he's pretending not to know that Celia is next in line for the Irken throne, and on top of that he's pretending to be a human middle schooler, and Celia is politely pretending not to know who he is, and Dib is fairly convinced that Zim is an alien, so Celia has taken it upon herself to gaslight him to hell and back about it, and Gretchen has a crush on Dib, and Keef has a crush on Zim, and Dib has a crush on Celia, and Celia is handling this remarkably well, considering she's also an alien pretending to be a human middle schooler, the major difference being she actually is twelve.
It sounds like a lot to balance, but rest assured, she does not need to get her parents involved. She is more than capable of handling it herself.

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 :]

Escaping the FBI, Zim's unraveling mind is further complicated by the relentless pursuit of both the humans and the Tallest, who begin to notice his erratic behavior.

Summary
📜 SINOPSIS DEL EPISODIO:
> Red y Purple, aún jóvenes e idealistas, narran entre susurros rotos y risas apagadas cómo fueron testigos de la formación de la Armada Irken, de la gloria de Tallest Spork… y de su quiebre. La muerte de su esposa dejó un vacío que ni los Planetas Conquistados pudieron llenar. Spork cayó en un luto silencioso, hasta que ella llegó: Tallest Miyuki. Fascinante. Simétrica. Horriblemente… normal. Al principio, era perfecta. Luego, todo se distorsionó. Y cuando intentaron advertirlo, Spork no quiso escuchar. No pudo. No quiso. Y esa negación nos costó a todos… pedazos de alma, carne, y cordura.
