Summary
Now that the system is finally free from the MCPs tyranny, Tron goes back to doing his regular job as a security program, patrolling the streets and making sure things stay in line. While Tron is patrolling, he sees a familiar face walking amongst a crowd of programs, it's Ram, but there’s something different about him…

Two times Kevin Flynn was totally about to kiss a program.
One time he did.
And why it happened that way.
(Me just trying to make Kevin Flynn and his kisses and almost-kisses make sense.)

RedGuard_3.77, reporting.
I have been absent from my post.
I was abducted by a User.
He does not know if his belief in this User goes beyond simple acknowledgement of existence.
But the violet stigmata of fingerprints that burn beneath his gauntlet feel dangerous-- like signs of faith he should never have permitted anywhere near him.

(When Flynn used a guard for circuit-disguise, the guard didn't actually die. Now he's come back online... and the experience is making him question everything he thought he knew about his loyalty to the MCP.)

Summary
Over the centicycles Tron has managed to reduce this all to just words, concepts...
But with those thrusts against him, he cannot help awakening to the reality that his own body, however controlled and repressed, has been doing and feeling and needing the same.
Ram growls, hips rocking along with his words. "You. Are. Not. Helping."
"Ah, all right, Ram, okay!" Tron gasps for breath, legs clenching around him. "So, you can't transmit the data. Not without the Tower. But, you can release the energy, at least. It's not what your transmitter is made for... but it's... it's enough relief, if there's no other option."
And oh, there isn't, and he needs...
(Ram is new to the ENCOM system. Many things are different here... even how it feels to receive a Call from one's User.)
(There's art for this story! Also by me:)

Summary
Introducing Aster the pattern recognition program, and her whole glitched-up life.
Aster's a disaster, and her past is no exception. She was written for an advertising company, got stolen by ENCOM in the 1980's, and has been a bit of a mad engineer, jack-of-all-tasks, and overall wildcard since then.
She's survived over two decades with no contact from her User. When that same User appears out of nowhere, both of them are an absolute mess with no clue how to handle it.
Mixture of humor, interpersonal drama, and some sex.

Summary
Yori's look is warm. "I know it wasn't just about satisfying needs. He loves you, very much. I hope you know that."
Ram nods, smiling. He does know.
Of course it's a different sort of love, the love of comrades-in-arms... unlike what Tron has with his counterpart or his User, no matter how similar the sensations it can stir. And it's not like Tron spoke very freely about any of that.
Ram does know, but the warmth of hearing it is still wonderful.
"Tron, um, told me about you too. He..." The thought trails off. The same words about Tron's feelings for Yori would just be so obvious as to sound ridiculous.
"He also said you'd be willing to share." Yori's voice drops low, knowing, the implication unmistakable. "To be shared."
And then Ram's eyes close in overwhelm at the hot burn of his circuits... sudden, delicious vulnerability.
(Ram wakes up at Tron and Yori's place, facing some amazing facts: He's alive, the system is free, and two wonderful programs want to be in a triad with him. )
(In which we learn about Tron's home, Yori's disc, and what Ram finds attractive.)

Party at PoMU (Part 2. He Should Be In The Club) by AsterControl (tiliquain)
Fandoms: Tron (Movies)

Summary
Yori's eyes shift between them. "Now, Ram is the sweetest thing. But he's also a fighter. Too stubborn to convert to Red, and too strong all the way down to his individual functions. MCP could tell that even if he took Ram apart, the lines of code would keep fighting until they were dissected to uselessness."
Voca's laugh is deep. "Ooh, now that I admire. Good for you, boy!"
There's warm pride in Ram's chest as he grins back... but his empathy can't miss the wince on Rollo_3.77's face. A small routine in the back of his processes reminds him that not everyone was so good at resisting.
In this free world, this new peace, he's going to meet programs who wore red before. Programs who only by luck never faced him in a fight to the death. Who derezzed friends of his. Who had friends that he derezzed. There's no escaping it, really...
(Yori and Tron take Ram on a date to meet old friends. After his time in the cells, this is a new world for him.)
(Postwar politics, Ram's value to the MCP, and the difference between being written for distribution and custom-written for your system.)

Party at PoMU (Part 3: Public Discplay) by AsterControl (tiliquain)

Summary
"You'd need disc access for that, wouldn't you?" Yori's fingers press down, dragging along a thigh circuit.
"Probably." And now Ram can feel Tron's attention on him. "How about it, Ram? Shall I take a look at your disc?"
A wave of heat shivers through Ram. There's that lovely vulnerable feeling again. He moans, rough, uncontrolled.
It's an intimate thing to let another program hold your disc, to trust someone with the physical manifestation of your very self. Ram's always been free and generous with his intimacy; it wasn't long ago he let Flynn drink from his disc at the spring. But that feels like another life. A life with no future, where trust was easily given to anyone willing to throw in their lot on his side of the fight, because there was so much less to lose.
Tron, though... Tron's hands will always be welcome on any part of him, disc included.
(Ram's at the club. Energy is served. Things get steamy.)
(The aphrodisiac effects of overcharge, the use of identity discs as remote control sex toys, and why a fellow program-in-arms is worth so much more than a User in absentia.)

Ram and Tron and some kinky bondage/dom/sub time together-- after all the bad stuff is over and Things are Good.
(Still part of my OT3 canon, but sometimes Yori just wants to watch. Hell, mostly *I* would. I'm down bad for just thinking about those two guys together.)
A little too much cerebral worldbuilding for a PWP, but you know how I roll.

Summary
The cell block was absolutely silent now. The soldiers usually stuck around, feeding until their victim only had one last drop of energy left. They'd leave just before the prisoner derezzed. They'd never been chased away before.
