Zim starts to notice his enemy's lack of energy and becomes suspicious. He starts keeping tabs on Dib, trying to get the secret out. Eventually he confronts the teen and finds out more than he bargained for.
Aged up three years.

Edit: I have not abandoned this fic! I just can't get back into the right headspace to continue right now. I started this as a vent fic after... Family issues... And I haven't been able to control my mental health enough to be creative lately. If anything, it's gotten worse, and I don't want to push that onto anyone. Thank you taking the time to read this. I love you all! I hope y'all are doing well ^^

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!

Invader Zim 》Not Just a Defect 《
Takes place a few weeks after the Florpus incident, and Zim gets a call from the Tallests. They finally tell him the truth, and he doesn't take it well. They have had enough of Zim, and are personally on thier way to deactivate him, killing and getting rid of him. Dib notices the changes, and is beginning to get suspicious. He's wondering if Zim is actually acting off, or if he's just faking it. What will happen when Zim finally snaps? For real this time. EDIT: Keef is being a creepy little jerk, Tak is acting like a moody teenager, Skoodge is taking a vacation until he gets a new mission, and Lard Nar gets saved by the Irken Empire. All this after the main part of the story. Stay tuned folks, it has arrived. ☆Warning☆ ¤May contain swearing ¤May contain suicide attempts ¤May contain character death {Cover Art does NOT belong to me.

Brood Mother
This is the same one from my AO3. It has been years since Zim was banished from his Empire and he has learned to make Earth his home. With some help from Dib and Gaz, of course. Now his body is doing something weird and he can't figure out why. Or why The Tallest have suddenly taken an interest in him again. Read to find out moreComplete
Memories Of A Past Life (Invader Zim Head-Cannon) ZAGR
Captured by the human FBI, Zim undergoes experiments that trigger malfunctions in his PAK, unlocking memories of a past life where he was a child of an Irken emperor, destined to become king. But these memories bring chaos-visions of blood, betrayal, and destruction-leaving Zim confused and tormented as he struggles to piece together his identity. Escaping the FBI, Zim's situation is further complicated by the relentless pursuit of both the humans and the Tallest, who begin to notice a change in Zim's behavior. As he battles to uncover the truth about his past, Zim faces the looming threat of losing his own sanity and the truth about who he really is. Zim must face who he once was, and the consequences that may lead to the destruction of everything he's known. Will he unlock the answers before his fractured psyche drives him mad? Or will the ghosts of his past destroy him once and for all? Definitely a ZAGR story!!!! I'm a HUGE shipper for those two! As for this story, it came to mind one day while I was at work, and I HAD to write it down. I just love the concept of an alien living on earth in an attempt to take it over, all while finding out how cruel his so-called leaders are. Plus, FBI shit is fun-- Dib is 17, Gaz is 16, Zim is 162 (17 in human), Tak is 160 (15 in human), Youjiro (my OC) is 118 (18 human years( different species have different age differences)), and Gir is 7 years old. Bro is as old as the day Zim got to Earth LMAO. And YES! There will be lore for Dib as well! He's not gonna be forgotten or just seen as a side character! Book cover by me. I drew it.![S.A.D [ZaDr] - Invader ZiM Christmas AU](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/249979309-256-k334993.jpg)

ZaDr-Secret Admirer
This is my first fanfic so it may be bad tell me in the comments if there is something wrong with it Zim and Dib are both in highskool at the age of 17 and then one day Zim started to get love notes in his locker every Monday and on when he started to get love notes Dib started to act weirder than usual.may or may not contain smutComplete
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.Complete

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!Complete

Majority hated him, except some people who cared to him. That includes the Principal. He also knew that mostly all of the students like and love the principal more than him due to his attitude and more caring than him. So he got in Depression and started to cutting himself until the principal knew about this. ------------ Yeah, this might be a vent story but everything will go fluff soon, I promised.
