    Summary

    All of your cycles, ever since you were a basic program, you have believed in the Users. You did not know, but you believed. And now all of the cycles of faith and fighting are worth it, because the User is here. Your life's purpose is affirmative.

    Summary

    “Tron, this is the guy who was asking about you.”
    Flynn stopped struggling against the guards when he heard Tron’s name and looked at him for the first time. Nose scrunched up and eyebrows drawn together he said the name that no one other than Tron should know.
    “Alan?”
    Tron tensed and his eyes slid sideways, immediately suspicious. He didn’t make a move but Ram could tell without the guards there he would have had his disk at Flynn’s throat.
    “How do you know that name?”

    Summary

    A collection of erotic TRON stories in the same overall universe, with the same headcanons about how Programs and the ENCOM system work.

    Some are connected to each other directly; some are not. Each can stand alone.

    Ordered chronologically.

      Bookmark Notes:

      World-building:

       

      These stories happen in the ENCOM system, before/during/after the 1982 movie.

      - ENCOM is one of the few places under the influence of what Walter Gibbs calls "programmer spirit" --a mysterious phenomenon in which programs that shouldn't be complex enough to develop intelligence will nevertheless spontaneously become sentient and conscious if ported into that system from another.

      - (They'll retain factual memories from before... but any emotional context will be either missing, or interpreted through the lens of how the Program currently thinks and feels.)

      - After the MCP's overthrow, the ENCOM grid survived as a free system, separate from Legacy's New Grid, with original copies of Programs still living there. (Much happier, much closer to 'perfect' than what Flynn tried to build. Too bad... perhaps a sad irony for him... that he didn't keep checking up on it to see all the beauty.)

      - (This may be an AU, or it may be canon-compliant and find weasely worldbuilding ways around everything in canon that suggests how unlikely a happy future for the Encom programs would actually be. Haven't decided yet. But they're definitely gonna be happy.)

      - At this point the MCP has been replaced by a different set of algorithms who take a gentler and more democratic approach to decision-making. However, this new management still has a semi-secret rebellious streak, and still occasionally steals programs from other corporations, for reasons of its own.

      - (Usually related to a belief that the other corporation is using the programs for evil, and/or that the programs will be better-off as living entities in the ENCOM system.)

      ---

       

      Program Anatomy/Sexuality:

       

      Programs are all different, as well as changeable. So the visual render is far from universal.

      This series focuses on Programs of a particular model, with no external anatomy down there except, at most, a bulge... which is where they keep a transmitter/receiver for contact with the I/O Tower.

      - The "suit" is part of the skin, and doesn't come off. Instead of humanoid sex organs, there's a set of functions involved in communication-- which respond in a similar way.

      - This of course includes circuit lights, which are for program-to-program signaling of things like emotional states, as well as being erogenous zones. (See the 1982 movie's Deleted Love Scene.)

      - But the I/O transmitter/receiver is for communication with Users. (As with sex organs, it's also known by various other names, like "I/O circuits" or even "I/O Tower," distinguishable from the I/O Tower through context).

      - It swells and becomes sensitized in response to Calls from the outside world. Which can feel a lot like arousal. (Think of Tron making all those horny moaning sounds while drinking from the Energy Spring, and then saying "Alan-1 calls me.")

      - Calls can be received anywhere, but the I/O Tower is the only place to transmit back. So, ideally, the urge is relieved by going to the Tower to contact the User. (Think of how weirdly sexualized that whole ceremony is. Dumont's oh-so-phallic outfit. Tron's groin-clutching pose during the ritual words about "growing" and "extending.")

      - I/O transmitters can also be touched for pleasure, by Programs together or alone. (Just like how User sex organs evolved for reproduction, but can be stimulated in many non-reproductive ways. Similarly, it helps with other needs like stress relief and interpersonal bonding.)

      - Overload is a whole-body experience, triggered with enough touch on any of the circuits. (Can also have health benefits: initiate restart; discharge excess energy.)

      - Can come with a temporary deresolution of one's visual form, where the bodies of partners become pure energy and blend together at the peak of their interface. (This part is based on an early draft of the 1982 Deleted Love Scene.)

      - Physical differences between male-coded and female-coded Programs are only an overall shape, reflecting their Users. No major difference in communication/pleasure organs.

      -Male-coded programs are more likely to show the I/O transmitter/receiver as a visible bulge, while female-coded programs tend to have it set deeper and not show as much from outside. But that's not universal. Programs come in ALL shapes.

      - They know what binary is, and it ain't gender. (Even if the letters "I/O" and the numbers "1 and 0" both insist on looking like a hole and something that could go in the hole. That's for Users.)

      - I really like the terms "male-coded" and "female-coded" in this context. I think most ENCOM programs would readily admit they aren't exactly male or female... they're just coded that way. (/Jessica Rabbit voice)

    Summary

    **Tags, Title, and Description subject to change

    In light of Tron 3 being confirmed, I commented on Tumblr that I wanted to write a fic where Leto's character was enough of a reason for Tron and the MCP to join forces and curbstomp them/him/it/whatever.
    This is....... supposed to be that fic.
    It went somewhat sideways from the original idea about four sentences in, so now I have MCP feels and an unexpected OC.

    A story set after Tron: Legacy. There has been talk of a third movie in the series. This is a fan fiction story of how I thought it might go. I don't own any of the characters here. I'm just a fan of the Tron movies.

    Summary

    For a change, she let herself unleash from her job, from the work she needed to do, from her mother and all of her expectations, from the full realization of the implications of what this promotion would bring, and simply cried. All alone, all by herself. But it was better than bottling it all up forever like her only living mother.

    Summary

    When Dustin sent Alan Bradley a copy of The Prox Transmissions, he meant it as a warning to keep Lora’s developments close to the chest, especially out of Dillinger’s hands. Now, the other key ingredient was already in Dillinger’s control, and it was likely to push ENCOM into revealing the laser technology as a counter to keep their profits up. All in all, someone on each side was likely to be sent to infiltrate the other company and take more than a few notes. This was exactly the kind of shit he was trying to warn everyone about.
