    Summary

    He still looked relatively the same aside from the white jumpsuit he had been changed into. His glasses had also been taken, which explained his intense squinting. But his hair was the same, his face as well.

    It was like nothing had changed.

    And she couldn’t tell if she loathed that fact or not.

    Summary

    Zim and Dib's dynamic changed years ago. Dib doesn't just protect the Earth from mythical creatures, aliens, and cryptids. He protects them, too.
    Twists and turns and drama ensue.
    This is a slow burn.

    Summary

    It's been five years since Zim first landed on Earth, and if Dib is being honest, he's getting a little bit bored of his home city. Zim's plans barely make him blink anymore and he's exhausted every possible nook and crany looking for new paranormal activity.

    So when he turns 16, trusting that Gaz (with a sufficient bribe) would handle the maybe-not-so-world-threatening-anymore Zim; Dib secures a job as a Swollen Eyeball field agent, and heads out on the solo paranormal hunting road trip of his dreams.

    He manages 2 days before Zim catches up with him.

    Then, with a trade and the promise of no world domination until the end of the summer, Dib agrees to let Zim tag along on his once dream road trip.

    It doesn't take long for the rivals to find themselves in more than one risky situation, and they must attempt to trust each other to watch their backs as the duo faces down cryptids and creatures of all kinds.

    Summary
