Salt and Sugar [ZADR] [IZ Au]

** YALL, THIS WAS MY FIRST FANFIC, WRITTEN WHEN I WAS TWELVE. PROCEED WITH THAT IN MIND, BECAUSE ITS PROBABLY HOT GARBAGE THROWN INTO THE BURNING PITS OF HELL AND THEN TAKEN BACK OUT ONLY TO BE DRENCHED IN LAVA. **

After unexpectedly finding the irken crying in the corner of the men's bathroom, Dib tries his best comfort him despite not knowing what was wrong, and despite what they still continued to believe was mutual hatred towards each other.
The two suddenly became closer, however, and after a while the human became sick of the people he shared a planet with. He and Zim were both equally as tired of their societies, and one day the two decided to team up and take over worlds, and eventually even the galaxy, together.

Alternative title: Two gay dumbasses go on a space adventure, get in trouble, and fall in love while denying it constantly. Probably would've been better than "Salt and Sugar" but TOO LATE

The first three parts are absolute sh!t but it gets better ig so don't worry. We get into actual plot around chapter 12 so if you're sick of fillers GUESS WHAT IT'LL BE OVER SOON

This fic is a rewrite because the old version had no plot or anything interesting whatsoever.

TW) Cursing, mentions self-harm (specifically the scars)

Characters are aged up to be in the range of years 16 and 18, Zim's a bit less... Weird.

Nothing 18+ because they're canonically children and I am not into reading OR writing that kind of stuff

All characters belong to Jhonen Vasquez and are from the show Invader Zim (except for the occasional made-up space aliens that say random lines for some reason, those are just random dudes I make up. Also some characters that might exist for uhhh maybe epilogue haha-)
