Summary
Randy is obsessed with protecting Dib, and Dib is starved enough for affection to let him.
Randy documents everything. Dib clings to every gesture.
Neither of them knows how to do love without turning it into possession.

Or basically self-indulgent canon divergence from BS&D for a change of pace <3

Summary
"Why is there an alien in our classroom?"
"You ask wayyy too many questions, Cunningham."
"WHY IS NO ONE ADDRESSING THE MONSTER IN THE CAFETERIA?!"
.........
Or basically I watched the two shows after each other and thought it'd be cool to give Dib multiple aneurysms in an every day monster battle world, Randy having to save that weird kid and at the same time trying to keep out of his way because he's lowkey too smart and almost put two-and-two together, and McFist having beef with the new famous science guy.

Summary
After a cheerful blow to the head from GIR leaves 17-year-old Dib concussed, Zim keeps him in his base for a week—observing, “caring,” and misinterpreting everything. When Dib returns home to find no one noticed he was gone, this time he feels the full impact of how no one would care if something fatal actually happened to him. Zim thinks they’ve bonded. Dib’s too tired to argue.
Dib angst is my therapy.

Summary
Professor Membrane harbors an unsettling affection for his poor, temporarily disabled son, Dib. After all, the boy is a reflection of himself, a clone born of Membrane's own genius.
And the professor's self-love is a dark, consuming thing, manifesting in ways that feel far from paternal and lean towards something disturbingly inappropriate.
Read the tags, then re-read them again. Seriously, this is some good fucked up shit <3

Summary
Another lonely birthday, another empty year. You miss your family. You're late for your bills and rent, and even then, you got robbed last Tuesday.
Still, you buy yourself a cupcake, because you need it. I mean, hey. What's dessert for if not to get over cheating boyfriends and dead relatives?
As you blow out the candle, watching the clock switch from 11:59 pm to midnight of the next day, you make a wish.
And because the world doesn't like to make much sense, it comes true. Your life is suddenly flipped on a dime, and you're stuck trying to catch up with it. Fantasy becomes reality. You're a Wayne now, apparently. Or you used to be. You're loved, you're rich, you're talented and powerful.
Well, sort of. Careful what you wish for, right?

Summary
"Jason rolled his eyes at the teasing, and mentally counted to ten before he could deal with his asshat of a brother. “And why,” Jason made sure to enunciate his words, “do you require pain relief?” For sure, the words “pain relief” were going to trigger a Pavlovian rage response in him after this conversation."
Dick, Jason and purple pain relief gel.

Summary
“You’re doing it again,” Bruce says, tone accusatory. “You’re faking.”
“It’s not faking,” Dick snaps, a little more aggressive than he means to be. But he doesn’t like that word, doesn’t like the connotations.
(Especially when he knows Bruce is lying about something, too.)
“Then what is it?”
“It’s called being charming and it’s nice.”
-_-
Dick’s mother raised her son to be a star. Dick’s father raised his son to be an athlete.
Bruce's new ward is charming (manipulative), dedicated (obsessive), and way, way too smart for either of their own good.
