History Fanfic / GazDreamsOfGenie

* ForWantOfANail: This fic shows that Dib actually ''is'' all that stands between Zim and taking over earth.[[note]]FridgeBrilliance comes into play when you realize that Zim probably ''could'' accomplish his goal if he wasn't so focused on his rivalry with Dib[[/note]]

* MoralityChain: Dib turns out to be one to his father, as his nonexistence is what leads to Professor Membrane becoming TheQuisling to the Irkens.

* RewritingReality: Gaz's first wish accidentally writes Dib out of existence and creates a VillainWorld in which Zim won and enslaved humanity. After using her second wish to fix that, her third wish is [[spoiler:for the power to grant her own wishes, which results in her not only switching lives with Azie, but making things so that all memory of Gaz is erased and Azie has always been Dib's sister.]]

** [[spoiler:Played straight with Gaz after BecomingTheGenie, who vows to use her new powers to seek revenge on her family and Azie, or at the very least make her next master's life a living hell.]]

** Azie trying to convince Gaz to make a SelflessWish turns out to be this, as [[spoiler: if Gaz had done so, she would have escaped her ultimate fate]].
** Azie also makes sure Dib doesn't remember Gaz wishing him out of existence [[spoiler: and promises to be a good sister to him after replacing Gaz]].

** [[spoiler: Azie gives Gaz a more aggressive one after they switch lives, calling out how selfish and ungrateful she was for the great life she had.]]

** [[spoiler: After Gaz and Azie switch lives, reality is altered so that no one remembers that Gaz ever existed, instead believing Azie has always been Dib's sister.]]

* SecretGovernmentWarehouse: The genie bottle ultimately ends up locked away in one by the Swollen Eyeballs [[spoiler: with Gaz trapped inside it]].

* ThreeWishes: After shattering a genie bottle that Dib found just to spite him, Gaz frees the genie Azie to serve her. When Dib tries to warn her about using genie wishes, Gaz impulsively wishes he had never been born, erasing him and creating a reality where Zim has conquered Earth and she's a slave. She then uses her ''second'' wish to hit the ResetButton and undo this, before trying to figure out how to properly use her last wish. [[spoiler: She attempts to get the ability to grant wishes herself, only for Azie to make them switch lives, leaving Gaz trapped in the restored bottle.]]

* AndIMustScream: [[spoiler: After wasting her first two wishes, Gaz wishes for the ability to grant her own wishes, thinking it's a case of LoopholeAbuse. Instead, the poor wording leads to Gaz and Azie switching lives, leaving Gaz trapped in the restored lamp bottle until someone else rubs it, with nothing to do but nap and plot how she'll get her life back. Which will never happen, as the last scene shows the lamp bottle being locked away in a SecretGovernmentWarehouse. At least, not for a very, very long time.]]

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Gaz gets hit with this after accidentally freeing the genie Azie from her bottle and being granted ThreeWishes in exchange. She wastes her first wish with a FreudianSlip (expressing her annoyance with Dib by saying she sometimes wishes he'd never been born), leading to a VillainWorld where Zim rules and she's a slave; she then has to use her second wish to hit the ResetButton. Left with only one wish, and specifically being told she can't wish for more, Gaz [[spoiler: tries to employ some LoopholeAbuse by wishing for the power to grant her own wishes (thus allowing her to tailor things her way), but this just leads to her and Azie switching lives, leaving Gaz trapped in the bottle.]]
* BecomingTheGenie: [[spoiler: This happens to Gaz when she wishes for the ability to grant wishes herself, resulting in her and Azie switching lives. According to Azie, this would've happened anyway when Gaz broke the bottle.]]
* BedlahBabe: Azie is described as being dressed like this, which she refers to as "a silk two piece and see through pants". Apparently wearing it is a required part of being a genie [[spoiler: as when Azie and Gaz switch lives, Gaz is stuck wearing the same outfit]].
* BenevolentGenie: Azie, the titular genie, grants Gaz three wishes after Gaz breaks her bottle. While she's a little condescending to Gaz and trolls her a bit, she's mostly pretty helpful in granting Gaz's first two wishes, and tries to give her honest advice when she's carefully contemplating her last one. [[spoiler: Though when this final wish results in her and Gaz switching lives, she smugly gives Gaz a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, informing her that it would have happened anyway because Gaz broke the bottle, but that this curse could have been avoided if she'd only made a SelflessWish, then leaves Gaz trapped in the the restored bottle.]]

* CurseEscapeClause: [[spoiler:According to Azie, by breaking her bottle, Gaz cursed herself to become a genie after her three wishes were up, but making even one SelflessWish would've broken said curse. [[ItsAllAboutMe Unfortunately, this is Gaz we're talking about]]...]]

* JackassGenie: Downplayed with Azie, as while she snarks at and mocks Gaz throughout their time together, she does try to guide Gaz in how to properly use her wishes. [[spoiler: Played straight after using Gaz's last wish to swap lives with her, as she gives Gaz a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech in which she belittles Gaz and gloats over now having her life.]]
* {{Jerkass}}: There's not a moment throughout the story where Gaz isn't cruel and selfish.

* KickTheSonOfABitch: Azie doesn't waste any opportunity to rub Gaz's failed uses of the wishes in her face [[spoiler: especially at the end, when she delivers a TheReasonYouSuckSpeech and gloats about stealing her life]].

* VillainWorld: After Gaz makes it so Dib was never born, Zim ends up ruling the world. The city the show takes place in is in ruins, billboards praising Zim are everywhere, and all humans are enslaved and forced through grueling slave labor under the supervision of Zim's MechaMooks. After dealing with this for a single day, Gaz uses her second wish to hit the ResetButton.

* ShoutOut: The title is a reference to ''Series/IDreamOfJeannie''.
