I Can Finally Feel by AsterControl (tiliquain)

Summary
The official music video for the Nine Inch Nails song "As Alive As You Need Me To Be" just came out.
It's going to be part of the new Tron: Ares movie, where Jared Leto plays a program soldier rezzed into the User world. I have very, very little interest in this premise.
However, the song also works just fine for the 1982 movie.
So, four hours after their music video came out, here's mine.
Flynn finally learned to feel. Yay.

“What's it like?”
“The sun?” Beatrice smiles.
Ava nods eagerly.
“Huh,” Beatrice sighs thoughtfully. “I’ve never had to describe it before…
“Warm. Radiant. Beautiful,” at the word, she looks to the fitting girl beside her.

Summary
Abandoning this version. It's too far from the original, and I hate how it is.
Tron looked to Shiro, displeased. “You want me to abandon my post here on a what if factor?”
“No, Tron, I just figured you'd like to shove your disc up another Dillinger's ass for a change of pace.” Shiro snarked. “It's Pidge. Flynn's granddaughter. Think Mara but a scientist instead of a mechanic. Would you really sit it out if Mara was kidnapped?”
“I'd never hear the end of it if I did. I still owe you all one for Quorra.” Tron sighed, eyes flicking back to Matt before returning to Shiro. “What are we going to do about Flynn and Clu?”
“That's why I brought him.” Shiro smiled over at Matt.

Summary
When Rinzler chases after Sam and Quorra from the lightcycle arena, his second baton isn't another lightcycle, it's a jet, and he's able to pursue Sam into the Outlands. The chase doesn't end well for anyone, and Sam and Rinzler find themselves swept out to the edge of the system. They must form an uneasy alliance to get back to the city, and neither of them are happy about it. But as they travel, Sam begins to unravel some of the tangled strings of code that make his unwanted companion, and discovers that there's more to this program than a killing machine.
A.k.a., Sam and Rinzler are stranded in the wilderness and passions flare. Based on the movie lore, not much from the other Tron media.

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
The Grid is slowly collapsing without the Creator Kevin Flynn and Sam hasn't been able to make any discernable progress in understanding Quorra's complex code. In a last-ditch effort to save the Grid and analyze isomorphic algorithms, Sam returns but only to bring more programs into the User World. With the eager help of old friends and the watchful eye of old enemies, Sam finds himself and his team in the middle of one of the biggest technological breakthroughs Encom and the world has ever seen. At what cost will he be able to finish his father's work and keep all programs safe?
(Mostly writing this because if Jared Leto is really in the next Tron movie, I will simply not accept it as canon LMAO.) -
