(SEQUEL to "The Game") Six months have passed since Zim was nearly executed by the Control Brains. Things seem to be relatively peaceful on Earth until Zim gets a call from an old "friend". The Earth is in danger- and it's up to an alien reject and a big-headed kid to to save it.

Zim and Dib have both successfully graduated high school. Dib is ready to start venturing out into the world, but finds himself stuck between a rock and a hard place: keep chasing after Zim, or finally move on with his life. Meanwhile, the secret that the Tallest have been keeping from Zim is finally revealed, and it leaves him unsure of what to do next. (ZADF, eventual ZADR)

{Warning! ZaDr! Zim and Dib romance!} Years after being disowned by mbrane and Gaz, Dib lives alone in his apartment, facing the fact that he's fallen in love with Zim, who was taken back to Irk many years ago. (AKA: My return from Archive of Our Own)
