angst dibmembrane humiliation invaderzim medicalhorror

Dib's alien evidence of Zim falls into the wrong hands and things take a very bad turn. It's up to Dib to set things right. Can he save Zim in time? Update: This whole fanfic was just me humiliating Zim to vent out my emotions (sorry Zim)! It's very roughly written with a lot of plot holes. Please don't overthink the story and just have fun reading it! ^^

And I ache [Zadr]
[aged up characters! They're in high school] Dib is growing up and he's beginning to realize many things- such as how chasing Zim is no longer something he wants to do. Dib is anxious about the future, he wants to change and be a somewhat normal person- he was tired of all the fighting. Unlike him, Zim doesn't want things to change. (TW! FOR EATING DISORDERS) [ EDIT; damn i rlly don't like this LmfAODNWJ]

World Domination (Invader Zim Fanfic) [COMPLETED]
Zim had finally done it. Capturing Dib and taking over the Earth was no easy feat, but he had done it despite the Tallest's, Gaz's, and basically anyone who ever lived doubts. But when the Tallest plan to use the planet for something stupid, Zim tries to overthrow the Empire... Against all odds and everything he was ever taught, he will rule how HE wants to rule. (HUGE thanks to my good friend Jeanine for the cover. Lots of love brotha!)

The Fallen Invader
Originally from the Invader Zim Amino Summary: Dib and Zim are in their senior year of hi skool, and Dib notices increasingly odd behavior coming from the alien. While trying to solve this mystery, he slowly learns that there's more to Zim than he could've ever imagined. AKA a ZADF fic where stuff just kind of happens! I will admit, the premise is pretty typical for this fandom, but I'm trying to put some interesting and creative spins on it!

Double Crossed (Invader Zim)
Book Cover by User Moxuu_ After realizing that they're bored without bashing each other's antics, Dib and Zim befriend each other. Soon after, Zim finds himself on an autopsy table, and believes Dib to be the culprit. Thinking quickly, he travels back in time to when he befriends Dib, intending to stop the event from taking place. But in the process, he finds out that Dib wasn't planning anything of the sorts. Now without a disguise, Zim must team up with his greatest enemy (and at the same time his only friend) to find who else in this world of idiots would know Zim's true identity. Side note, this book does contain ZaDR (Zim and Dib Relationship) so if you don't like ZaDR, I'm telling you now that you can leave. As well, this book is a work of fiction-within-fiction, meaning that it is NOT canon to the show. It takes place after the events of Mopiness of Doom (an unaired episode, which you can watch on youtube in the form of either an animation project or an official script reading, neither of which are mine.) and doesn't fully follow the canonicity of future (unaired) episodes. If you haven't seen Mopiness of Doom, some elements of the story may not make sense.

FERVENT {ZaDr} [DISCONT. READ DESC]
*** DISCLAIMER - 9/17/22 *** I have decided to discontinue this fic, as I no longer possess the same interest in Invader Zim as I had when this it was first written. Writing updates for it is a chore, and I no longer find enjoyment in doing so. I will continue writing things that I am more interested in, however, but this will be a wrap for any Zim related fanfictions from me in the foreseeable future. Thank you for understanding and thank you to all of the support that my first ever published work has brought to me. ------------------------------- One human, one alien, and one rather vibrant heat cycle. What could go wrong? - - - - [WARNING:] this fanfiction contains adult material such as blood/gore, cursing, and sexual behavior. viewer discretion is advised. [COVER ART = mcdonaldsmanifesto on IG]

ANOSOGNOSIA
!Art cover not by Me! !ZADR! My own AU called " GOD AU" After the florpus incident, Zim Ira began to undergo mental and physical changes. Things began to seem worse than the alien had thought... also, signs of the human mental illness that the alien thought he was suffering from began to appear. Mostly, Zim thinks it's schizophrenia, as he begins to see certain unimaginary anomalies and characters, however, due to his "huge ego", he refuses to take the medications his computer has prescribed. This might be the cause of the negative effects in Zim's brain. However, the alien also began to notice the lies that had been fed to him for years. Zim noticed that his Tallest's aren't happy with him at all.. Dib isn't that intrigued or determined and begins to look better in the irken's eyes... and Gaz and Tak aren't that strong and scary at all. The alien faces many new emotions that irken race shouldn't have. He hurts some dudes on his way. And surely his PAK is getting more dangerous to the Empire and Earth . .. what will he do now?

They Underestimated Him ( ZADR )

To them, Zim is nothing but an incompetent Invader that seems can't do anything right. But lil did they know, Zim is actually more dangerous than what they thought. And when they realized it. It will be too late.... SHIP : ZaDr RaPr TaGr START AT : 14/09/2019 END AT : 27/09/2020 Content: chapter 1 - 49
