Someone mentioned this theory to me, the parts in italics especially are copy cut from their text. I know it was also posted on the tron-sector.com forums, but I can't find the exact link to credit. Also, I feel a little frisky to link the forums to this work because they look thoroughly hacked, and taken over by bots since years ago (the latest content are nothing but aggressive ads).

Summary
In a timeline midway between the end of Legacy and two dot zero, at a moment when Alan doesn't have any running copy of his program,
Sam told him of the possible sub-sentience in some programs. He told him of the laser upgrade, of Kevin's Grid... and of the ISOs.
For the first time since the System's blackout, a new ISO rises from the Sea.
For the first time in the ISOs' history, a figure draped in mystery greets the freshly recompiled program with a proposition.
(Gibbs is still alive because it's convenient and I'm nostalgic.)10/10/23 Chapters 1 and 2 are complete; 3 and onwards are series of excerpts and detailed outlines.

Summary
Rinzler didn't revert back to Tron in the Sea, but was saved by some of his Blackguards to step up as the new Sysadmin of the Grid. Meanwhile, Alan came in alongside of Sam, and brought another version/branch of Tron.
This is a confrontation scenario for those three. Staged in short ficklets, this is marked with a general grey-er morality, similar to that of It Isn't Yours Any Longer and Deletion (inspiration link inside). Consider it as an AU to Salvage What You Can, forking from chapter twelve (inspiration link inside).
1. Current status : First chapter only. Second an thrid chapter are vignettes and snippets.
2. Since this is also part of Keyboard and Spark, like most installment of the series, it's centered on Alan or Tron.Series

Summary
A programmer and one of his personal programs meet in several verses; several versions. Each pair has its own dynamic: power exchange protocols that seldom change.
In each, the program is thirsty, and generally fed up about waiting with prompts.
His human creator only tries to do a little better than Dr. Frankenstein. But in the emotional language of binary beings, moderation and limitations are quickly lost in translation.Series

Summary
His User would come, at least, to remove him from these systems. ... Wait. He would, right?
(Warning: uninstalling or moving a program out of a drive, illustrated as what resembles to individual ritualized 'death'.) Alternative titles: Reintegration, Full Circle, Dazzling Closure
Each chapter is set in a different timeline. AU of kinds.
! Chapter three is only a rough draft, it's not properly narrated!

Summary
Prompt: Users didn't understand their needs.
Nine times a program and his user found themselves at odds about intimacy.Made of dark, somewhat tragic, overall corny and exasperating moments.
No mistake: this is all a cheesy crack and dark tragedy sandwich. Enjoy... with moderation?
Not beta read (except one laterchapter), still due for expensions and continuation; as usual.The explicit tag is for dub-con coercing, bdsm (bondage, mov -u, unrequited pinning, powershift).

Summary
A proud and stubborn proprietary architect shortly designated as Dariam has been sent by his User to work as a temporary co-administrator to reshape the Grid. What his User had failed to mention is that She was about to leave The Realm of The Invisible to visit his new system Herself.
Meeting Her face-to-face and memorizing the sensation of Her hand threading static in his hair proved the first steps onto Dariam's slow descent into madness.
(more)
This is a destructive codependent relationship between a devout self-righteous program and the idealist young engineer who gave him his signature;
one featured through relatively self-indulgent short vignettes and drabbles unfolding on the Grid.
They are mostly told through the Basic program's perspective, along with some bittersweet Alan & Tron (secretely Tron/Alan) shapped against the background in the silences of what's left unsaid, and in few pieces of advice they are asked for.Series
