My Hostage, Not Yours (Fanfic) | comment |
My Hostage, Not Yours is a series of Invader Zim stories on FanFiction.Net by RavenFollower13.The first story is set several years after the events of the canonical series, and Zim's official banishment to Earth, with the characters (the human ones, anyway) now teenagers and in High Skool. The plot kicks off when Gaz discovers a crashed Irken ship and becomes attached (literally) to an Irken device called a LEECHY. Zim forces her to keep it secret while he tries to find a way to remove it, for her own safety. However, as an old enemy of the Irkens' conspires to take the LEECHY by force, Zim and Gaz find themselves growing closer.The second story, My Hostage, Not Yours 2: The Revenge of Player 2, takes place seven months later: Gaz and Zim are officially a couple, and Zim and Dib are more or less friends. However, their peace is shattered when a hitman nearly kills Dib. Iggins, Gaz's onetime rival, is back for revenge, and he plans on making her suffer by going through her loved ones. But he may have underestimated Gaz — and how far Zim will go to protect her.The third (and final) story, My Hostage, Not Yours 3: The Inevitable Takeover, skips ahead about another year-and-a-half. When Zim discovers that he only has three months to conquer Earth or die, Gaz convinces him to finally get to work and take over. But Dib isn't going to go down without a fight. Victory may be easy, but keeping that victory may be much, much harder.The series is highly regarded by its readers, in no small part due to being able to keep the personalities of the characters nearly identical to that of the canon, providing a well written example of a popular pairing, a writing style that leaves you wanting more, and of course, its fast and consistent updates.In February 2021, RavenFollower13 announced plans to reboot and rewrite the series, which started in April of that year with the publication of Re: My Hostage, Not Yours. | |

Card-Carrying Villain | |
My Hostage, Not Yours (Fanfic) / int_137f2d7 | comment |
Card-Carrying Villain: Iggins seems very much aware of the fact that he's the bad guy, and acts accordingly. Of course, just about everyone calls him out on the dramatics. Zim invokes this in Takeover, since the more he acts like a traditional evil invader, the more the world will fear him, and the faster they'll give up. | |

Heroic BSoD: In Revenge, Gaz has a momentary one when she realizes that Iggins doesn't just want to kill her, but is also lusting after her. Zim quickly snaps her out of it, though. And Dib has one in Takeover after Gaz agrees to "surrender" herself to Zim; he's so upset he doesn't even say goodbye to her, which upsets them both. He has another, smaller one when he discovers that she was working with Zim the whole time. | |

The Sociopath | |
My Hostage, Not Yours (Fanfic) / int_19851b86 | comment |
The Sociopath: The author describes Zim and Gaz as a pair of sociopaths — however, since they genuinely love each other, Gaz genuinely loves her family, and they both care about GIR and Minimoose (her more so than him), it would seem they don't quite fit the qualifications for this trope. On the other hand, they both get their kicks out of tormenting others, which is pretty sociopathic behavior. | |

Playing with Fire: Gaz gets this ability as a side effect of Iggins' Mind-Control Device at the end of Revenge. Then in Takeover she loses control during the Final Battle, and apparently uses up her power completely in the process. | |

Breaking the Fourth Wall: During one of Zim and Gaz's post-marriage quibbles, the narrative takes a moment to point out to the reader that, yes, they still enjoy nothing more than annoying the hell out of each other. The author's notes at the end of that chapter then lampshades that this is the first time the fourth wall's ever been broken in the series. | |

My Hostage, Not Yours (Fanfic) / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: The Pill. Zim makes two, per standard procedure — one for Gaz, and a backup to study in case things go wrong. In the penultimate chapter of Takeover, Gaz gives this second one to Dib in order to make him immortal as well. Subverted with the LEECHY. Not only do we never see it get used, but near the beginning of Takeover, Gaz wonders if one is going to be part of the supplies the Tallest send Zim for his conquest. It isn't. | |

My Hostage, Not Yours (Fanfic) / int_30a0067b | comment |
Supervillain Lair: Zim's underground base, naturally. Then, in Takeover, he trades it in for a huge high-tech fortress. Iggins also tricks his stepfather into building one for him by pretending it'll be a public gaming site, when really he just wanted a place to have an epic showdown. Zim gets a second one about two-thirds of the way through Takeover, when he converts a European palace into his base for that continent. | |

Even Evil Has Standards | |
My Hostage, Not Yours (Fanfic) / int_319e4a2f | comment |
Even Evil Has Standards: Zim refuses to have sex with Gaz until they're officially married. It would have been consensual anyway, but he apparently stands by the principal of honoring her people's customs towards the matter. This is especially poignant since, according to Tak, Irken custom dictates that they're not officially a couple until they've mated. This means that Zim's putting his respect for Gaz and her heritage ahead of his own — quite a move for a narcissistic sociopath like Zim. Zim is apparently also disgusted by the concept of abortion, of all things. Yes, Irkens are apparently pro-lifers. Go figure. It's a cultural thing. Irkens don't prevent their smeets from being born, giving them a chance to prove their competence/stupidity in adulthood before killing them. Thankfully the author does not spend much time on this point beyond the culture explanation. | |

In Takeover, the Group infiltrates Zim's fortress in order to interrupt his and Gaz's wedding in order to save her. But since she doesn't want to be saved, it doesn't go as well as the previous example. Then there's a literal example when the Swollen Eyeballs launch an assault on Zim's European base of operations, which happens to be an actual castle. | |

Badass in Distress | |

Badass in Distress: Gaz, despite being the strongest fighter in these stories, gets captured at least once in each: Hostage: She lets the Valkians take her prisoner in order to both get rid of the LEECHY and protect Dib and Zim; she probably could have escaped her cell on her own, but it's highly unlikely she would have gotten off their ship alive if Zim hadn't saved her. Revenge: Iggins manages to use a Mind-Control Device on her, so Dib and Zim have to save her again; though in the end, she breaks free from the device and ends up saving Zim's life. Takeover: During the initial stages of Zim's conquest, she gets kidnapped by a group of hired thugs; subverted, though, since Zim himself hired the thugs to get Gaz away from the government officials who were going to use her as leverage, so she was never in any danger. | |

Hidden Villain: Iggins' identity is kept secret for the first few chapters of Revenge, though it's arguably quite obvious, and at least one reviewer guessed correctly before it was revealed. | |

Good Scars, Evil Scars: Tak gets an x-shaped scar on her back from having her PAK transplanted inside her body. As it turns out, those scars are actually the result of Membrane operating on her to remove her memories. And Gaz gives Dib a small burn scar on his cheek for interrupting her wedding. | |

The Dragon: Skoodge is assigned to Earth by the Tallest to serve as this to Zim. Though Skoodge is a bit of a subversion, since Zim (and Gaz too, for that matter) is much more of a threat than he is. Really, Skoodge is more of a personal assistant than a Dragon. Tip and Tine briefly serve as Iggins' Co-Dragons, but only during the climax of Revenge. | |

Breaking Lecture / "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Gaz gives a brief one to Dib in Takeover when he interrupts her wedding to "save" her from Zim. She points out how, even though Zim's taken over the world, he hasn't destroyed it or made things worse, so defeating Zim wouldn't really change anything. She then adds that "saving" her is just an excuse to strike a blow at Zim, and calls him out for treating her like a prize. | |

Enemy Mine | |
My Hostage, Not Yours (Fanfic) / int_5989e3b6 | comment |
Enemy Mine: Zim working with Gaz and Dib in the first place was this trope, before it evolved into a relationship and friendship (sorta), respectfully. And in Takeover, Tak ends up working with The Group because she's not strong enough to go after Zim on her own. Then, when Dib decides to defect from the Swollen Eyeballs in order to avoid fighting his sister, and Tak goes with him, the Eyeballs declare them traitors. So, they find themselves fighting alongside Gaz and Zim during the Final Battle. Tip and Tine served as Iggins' Dragons in Revenge, then join the Group in Takeover. Justifiable, though, by the fact that when they fought against Zim, Dib, and Gaz, it was nothing personal — in fact, they (especially Tine) seem to admire Gaz, and enjoy working with her. | |

Hell, he even kidnaps a priest to perform the ceremony and a designer to custom make Gaz's wedding dress! | |

I Want My Beloved to Be Happy | |
My Hostage, Not Yours (Fanfic) / int_60547993 | comment |
I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: In a purely non-romantic example, Membrane doesn't oppose to Gaz marrying Zim (even giving her away) because he wants to make up for being a bad father, and for his daughter to be happy. Also, once Dib gets the message that Gaz truly loves Zim — that it's not a passing fling or brainwashing — he backs off (though he does BSOD over it). This then gets inverted (but remains platonic) when Gaz finds out about Dib's feelings for Tak; she doesn't approve, but wants him to be happy so she gives him the Pill, so that he can have a long life with her. | |

Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Gaz and Zim truly love each other, and Gaz also does care about her brother and father. In Takeover, she makes sure to plant trackers on them, and even plays a role in helping Dib form a rebellion, in order to make sure they stay safe. And Iggins' stepfather, despite being a mob boss, clearly loves his stepchildren. To the point that when Gaz threatens to kill them if Iggins comes after her again, he promises to keep it from happening not that Iggins was in any position to threaten her again, anyway. | |

Badass Normal: Gaz starts out as this, before upgrading to Empowered Badass Normal at the end of Revenge. Then she burns through her powers at the end of Takeover, bringing her back down to (badass) normal. Dib becomes pretty badass during the last two stories. Arguably, Tak and Zim could count as well — they're not human, but they're normal by Irken standards. | |

My Hostage, Not Yours (Fanfic) / int_6439de78 | comment |
Heroic Sacrifice: Non-fatal example in Hostage: Gaz lets the Valkians take her prisoner, in order to keep them from killing Dib and Zim. She also invokes this trope (again, non-fatally) in Takeover; as per their plan, after she helps Dib set up a resistance (in order to ensure his safety), Zim tells them to hand her over or he'll destroy the whole continent. Gaz then "sacrifices" herself by handing herself over to Zim — when, really, this was just an excuse to get back together, while also making Gaz a martyr in the public eye. | |

The Ageless: After their marriage — and being given permission by the Tallest — Zim gives Gaz a chemical formula (the Pill) which halts her aging process, and boosts her immune system beyond human standards, so she can live as long as him; this apparently is a common procedure when Irkens decide to take non-Irken mates. This naturally comes with a warning about outliving your loved ones, but it's ignored. Near the end of the series, Gaz force feeds another Pill to Dib, so that he can similarly live as long life with Tak. | |

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
My Hostage, Not Yours (Fanfic) / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: The Group members (aside from Dib and Tak, who get drafted by the Swollen Eyeballs) just sort of disappear after their first (and final) mission fails. There's also the European royal family whose palace Zim takes as his own; after their initial appearance, they never show up again. Lampshaded during the Swollen Eyeballs' attack — Dib pauses to wonder what happened to them, and then decides that it doesn't matter. This might also qualify as an Aborted Arc, seeing as the author brought in the youngest members of the family (two teenagers and a little girl) as people Gaz can torment/interact with while Zim's busy conquering and ruling the world. As for the Group, Gretchen at least shows up during the epilogue, where her storyline (at least as far as this story is concerned) gets wrapped up. Meanwhile, Tip and Tine are revealed to have eventually joined Zim's army as heads of Intelligence. | |

Badass Biker: Zim and Gaz both seem to enjoy a good motorcycle ride — in fact, in Hostage, one of the things they bond over is a drag race (It Makes Sense in Context) | |

Villain with Good Publicity | |
My Hostage, Not Yours (Fanfic) / int_87bb6874 | comment |
Villain with Good Publicity: In Takeover, Gaz makes herself the face of the resistance, so that when she hands herself over to Zim she looks like a selfless hero, rather than a Damsel in Distress (not that she's either). The two of them actually seem to enjoy celebrity status in America, while the rest of the world openly dislikes them. | |

Stalker with a Crush | |
My Hostage, Not Yours (Fanfic) / int_8b68d9a7 | comment |
Stalker with a Crush: Surprisingly enough, Iggins. He alternates between wanting to kill Gaz and being jealous of her being with Zim. When he manages to brainwash her into being his drone, there's some very disturbing implications for he what he plans to do with her. And to a lesser extent, there's Gretchen — as per usual for the fandom, her canonical crush on Dib is jacked up into this trope. Dib is aware of it, and it creeps him out. | |

Evil Mentor: Inverted. Tine admires Gaz and emulates her when she can (she even makes herself a sword modeled after the one Gaz changes her necklace into), but Gaz never advises or mentors her. In fact, Gaz doesn't even like her — she can stand her, but that's not the same as liking her. Gaz also apparently feels that Tip has more potential that Tine, but again, she never mentors him. | |

Robot Me: At one point during Hostage, Membrane has to go to Australia for a business trip, and for some reason brings his kids along. Since Gaz can't afford to have the LEECHY away from Zim's base for the amount of time the trip would take (and doesn't want to explain to Dib why she can't go), Zim creates a robot duplicate of her that can go on the trip and that she can control remotely to keep up the illusion. And it works, initially. | |

Face–Heel Turn: As pointed out elsewhere on this page, Gaz was never a good person. However, this is what her decision to side with Zim is viewed as in-universe. Subverted example: Dib defects from the Swollen Eyeballs at the end of Takeover, not because of this trope, but because he doesn't want to fight his sister. However, the Eyeballs don't see it that way, and declare him a traitor. | |

Fate Worse than Death: What Gaz ultimately does to Iggins. She beats him within an inch of his life, and so heavily traumatizes him that a passing reference in Takeover says that he ended up in an asylum. Arguably, what the Tallest do to Tak for letting herself get captured by the Valkians — they change her into a human, then dump her on Earth. Considering how much she dislikes humans, this seems to qualify. | |

But since she doesn't want to be saved, it doesn't go as well as the previous example. Then there's a literal example when the Swollen Eyeballs launch an assault on Zim's European base of operations, which happens to be an actual castle. | |

Offscreen Moment of Awesome | |
My Hostage, Not Yours (Fanfic) / int_c5b47b36 | comment |
Offscreen Moment of Awesome: We don't actually see any of Zim's conquest of Earth (mostly because the governments just start surrendering), but at the very least he does attack Washington as a demonstration — and we only see the aftereffects. During said fight in Washington, Gaz ends up fighting Zim (in order to build up her public image), leaving Dib to fight GIR — who happens to be piloting a Humongous Mecha. Sadly, the scene focuses entirely on Zim and Gaz, so we don't get to see how Dib survives the fight, or how he manages to convince GIR to blow the mech up. When the Group interrupts Zim and Gaz's wedding, the narrative focuses entirely on Dib and Gaz's conversation. We therefore miss out on Tak fighting Zim, and whatever other actions the Group were taking. | |

Heroic Willpower: While not exactly a "hero", Gaz manages to break free of Iggins' mind control through sheer force of will (though Zim's support helps). | |

My Hostage, Not Yours (Fanfic) / int_c83a589c | comment |
Luke, I Am Your Father: Lampshaded and averted. When it's revealed that Membrane and Tak know each other, Dib assumes that means that Tak is his mother. Membrane tells him that that's ridiculous, and the author explains that that conversation was put in merely to disprove a theory she knew the readers were thinking. | |

Get a Hold of Yourself, Man! | |
My Hostage, Not Yours (Fanfic) / int_c87660d5 | comment |
Get A Hold Of Yourself Man: In Revenge, when Gaz finds out that Iggins' obsession with her is partly inspired by lust, she has a brief BSOD and starts blaming herself for the whole situation. Fortunately, Zim snaps her out of it by pointing out that it's Iggins' fault, not hers, and that she's too {badass to be angsting like that. And then we get two of these moments in Takeover: first, when Zim realizes he's dying, he's willing to accept it, until Gaz makes it clear that she won't let him die (and the fact that she almost starts crying helps). Later, Tak has a serious BSOD over dealing with her new human emotions, and Dib is only able to get her out of it by insulting her until she snaps and kicks his ass. | |

My Hostage, Not Yours (Fanfic) / int_ceec4df5 | comment |
Roaring Rampage of Revenge: Ironically, despite being the titular character in Revenge, Iggins isn't the one doing this. Instead, it's his near murder of Dib that triggers one from Gaz. And then, during the climax, he nearly kills Zim, which pushes Gaz into Extreme Mêlée Revenge mode. | |

My Hostage, Not Yours (Fanfic) / int_dcbe8a6e | comment |
Chekhov's Gunman: Tak is only in a few scenes of Hostage, but later reappears in Takeover, where it's revealed that the Tallest turned her human (mostly) and banished her to Earth for her repeated failures. After this reveal, she then aids the Group in their fight against Zim. Her appearances in Hostage may qualify as this; she briefly appears via a transmission at the beginning, when she's mysteriously attacked (which causes her ship and the LEECHY to crash to Earth), and near the end it's revealed that it was the Valkians who attacked and captured her. | |

He Who Must Not Be Seen: The Valkian Queen keeps herself cloaked and in the shadows at all times, even when in the sanctuary of her ship. It's implied this is part of their culture, as the only time she reveals herself is when she's alone with Gaz, having had her guards leave the room; the second they come back, she covers herself up again. | |

My Hostage, Not Yours (Fanfic) / int_e543a655 | comment |
Light Is Not Good: When captured by the Valkians, Gaz is forced to wear a white dress that, combined with her natural skin tone, makes her look like "some kind of moon beam". Considering who we're talking about, it's quite misleading. And she hates it. And let's not forget her wedding gown — again, she's all in white, which is misleading from her personality. Especially since, by this point, she's gone from Anti-Hero to Villain Protagonist. | |

Easily Conquered World: Gaz says that humans as a whole are easily frightened beings who will quickly surrender after a show of force. When Zim begins his conquest, this pans out, as the majority of the population doesn't resist, especially after the governments begin surrendering to Zim's superior technology. Some, however, do resist, such as those that join Dib's "Group". | |

He's never happy when he finds out. | |

Darkest Hour: Each story has one: Hostage: Gaz is captured by the Valkians, who intend to use the LEECHY to conquer the Irkens. Revenge: Iggins manages to brainwash Gaz into being his slave, and intends to use her to kill Zim and Dib. Takeover: Zim and Gaz take control of the Earth; interesting variation, in that it's actually a high point for them, and a Darkest Hour for the other protagonists. | |

Pet the Dog: At the end of Takeover, Gaz gives Dib the Pill, in order to insure that not only does she not outlive him, but he'll also have a lifespan that enables him to be in a relationship with Tak. Earlier, when Dib realizes that Gaz doesn't want to be "saved" from Zim and loses his motivation to fight back, she tells him to go home, promising to make their father go as well, so that he actually has a home to go to. Tak has one of these moments during her last interaction with Gretchen, where she gives her some advice to help her get on with her life. Interestingly, this is following a Kick The Dog, where Tak used her relationship with Dib to mock Gretchen. | |
