the_grrrrid, “a comm for the shared Tron universe(s) of
igrab,
citiesfalling,
hey_giffy, and
sleepygreeny.”
Why this must be read:During his grandmother’s last days, Sam Flynn is living in Alan Bradley’s basement — not the most promising set-up for comedy, I know, but then Alan, while tidying, finds something in Sam’s bed and decides that he and the teenager need to have a conversation:
“Look, Alan, it's fine. Really. I've got a box of- uh- things. In case I need them. They glow in the dark, too- my friends called them trondoms.” Another pause followed. “.... I am... not entirely sure why I told you that.” Sam said slowly, carefully.
hey_giffy manages to pack a lot into this story: the awkwardness of The Talk for both parties in the discussion; the lingering pain caused by Kevin Flynn’s disappearance; the different nature of that loss for Sam and Alan (father vs. friend (and here, lover)); and the fact that for both men, time has passed, and they’ve found a measure of happiness.
