I kept dreaming of a world I thought I'd never see

[impersona]

I wrote a fic. It is Kingdom/Tron AU, starring Peter as The User.  Everything else will be a surprise.

If you don't know anything about Tron Legacy or what the world looks like, this is a decent start.  I wrote the story nearly exclusively to the movie soundtrack, which you can browse here.   I consider 'Fragile' to be the companion song to this story.

I actually started this fic nearly 11 months ago, on the night that Tron:Legacy released.  We got back from the theater at 3 AM, and I busted out the bones of this story.  It's taken me a long time to really flesh it out, mostly cause of massive distraction.  But I'm really happy to have it done.  I actually have thought about Tron AU a fair bit, and have a storyline for it mapped out in my head.  But we'll see if I ever get to other stories of it XD 

(This story is subtitled "How many bad computing puns can Sage make in one fic?")

FFFFFFFFF this is so clever and well-thought-out and BRILLIANT; the way you mapped Kingdom into the Tron universe makes it seem like the most natural and obvious thing in the world. I LOVE IT AND I CRAVE MORE. I hope if you don't write anymore stories for this one you at least give us an outline or something because I want to know what happens next!

Oh man I love this SO SO MUCH. The way you transposed the Kingdom conflict into Tron was really lovely, especially how you used the term 'daemon' to your advantage. You also did something that made me SQUEE, which was you made a strong connection between the Grid and the outside world, and just how intertwined they really are. I felt that was a bit of a shortcoming with the movies, but you did a really nice job incorporating it.

I TOO CRAVE MORE. This looks like it is such a cool setting to play with, especially given the conflicts everyone's Grid counterparts have to deal with.

(Also eee Peter-byte made me giggle! :D)
