    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. :)

    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

    Dib shows up to school feeling pretty shitty after a long, seemingly fruitless night of exploration in an abandoned asylum. Zim, who would normally enjoy nothing more than to bask in the anguish of his enemy, becomes determined to figure out what's going on with his arch-nemesis...and why he smells so weird.

    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

    For Dib Membrane, his life felt like it was a stained-glass variation of the truth. Like a puzzle whose end picture was the complete opposite of what it should have been. He never knew why he felt this way; his life was perfect. What could be wrong about it? Perhaps it had something to do with the awry feeling that would wash over him whenever he stepped foot into his father’s lab. Or maybe it has something to do with those stray fragments of what could possibly be lost memories. Or by some chance, it had something to do with the small green-skinned man that made Dib’s chest tighten and his brain hammer against the skull of his totally normal-sized head whenever he saw him.

    Dib had to bite down the inexplicable urge to call him an alien. How silly of him. Everyone knows that aliens don’t exist.

    (An alternative universe in which Dib a 23-year-old non-believer working with his father in his lab and Zim is a wanted space criminal.)

    Summary

    Everyone knows that growing up is hard.

    Dib considers that an extreme understatement. Especially when the alien he's supposed to be defeating makes his face beet red and smash his head into his pillow.

    He's doomed.

    The usual shift.
    Nothing out of the ordinary.
    Unfortunately for Dib, Zim was just too dense to accept reality as it was.

    Summary

    Dib awakes to a shrill voice in his room, a familiar glow of red eyes.

    ...an odd repetitive sound? Once his eyes are open fully the sound stops as quickly as it came.

    Of course it was Zim sitting on his stomach.

    Of course.

    -----

    Swollen Eyeball has given the investigator a mission and of course he took it, it was Dib. Zim demands to come with, making some excuse about wanting to watch Dib die (they haven't seriously fought in months, mind you) and or watch him fail. Dib, begrudgingly, agrees.
