Subsequently, Eduardo Ramos-Izquierdo's writing evolved. He also turned to fiction, with some collections of short stories and a novel published in the 2000s. According to Italian critic and academic Stefano Tedeschi :

“There are many playful facets to the writing of RIZQ [Ramos-Izquierdo]. First of all, there's the playful aspect of literature, the countless book references, the nods to different genres, which provoke the pleasure of making disparate elements react to each other [...]. But there's also the mathematical game I mentioned earlier: the interplay of numerical combinations, possible symmetries and numerological correspondences is fascinating [...]. The fantastic is not an event to be observed with an admiring attitude, but a mystery to be deciphered, which responds to incomprehensible but firm rules, an inevitable fantastic”

Alongside his literary work, Ramos-Izquierdo has also taught at various universities in Mexico and France. At the UNAM, he taught in the faculties of science and philosophy and literature, where he was Ramón Xirau's assistant.
