Harmony, Harmony, Oh Love, by crystalshard (G)

Fandom: TRON
Pairing: gen (ref to Sam/Tron)
Length: ~900 words
Author on LJ: [livejournal.com profile] crystalshard
Author Website: [livejournal.com profile] crystalfic
Warnings: Per the author, “Step away from the drinks. This is crack.”
Why this must be read:

This story, in which San and Tron run across an old project of Kevin’s, riffs on a drawing by Pilots!verse creator [livejournal.com profile] shirozora:


"I remember these from the early days," Tron says when he finishes laughing. "Some sort of game design that Flynn was planning on, but it never got past the prototype stage. I think he preferred lightcycles to – oh, what did he call them?"

"Unicorns?" Sam suggests, sounding slightly strangled.

"That was it." Tron sounds pleased, and he walks forward to the unicorn. "I wonder if this one still works?"

It just goes to show that Kevin Flynn was a true visionary.

“Harmony, Harmony, Oh Love”

You are flippin' amazing, m'dear! I've enjoyed so many of the selections you've provided, and I've queued a few to read that I never would have thought to try. Thank you for providing such a magnificent introduction to the Tron fandom. It's a dang fun sandbox! :D

This made me LOL IRL!

I admit, I giggled a bit writing it. Then I started wondering if I'm the only person here old enough to have actually gone to an arcade and fed tokens into a machine to play a video game.

No, you're not. There's at least one other person here!

I saw the original Tron when it was in theaters. Had the novelization and everything! LOL

Wow, thanks for the rec! I've been reading through your recs here, and I've found a few that I'd never have seen otherwise. So thank you for expanding my Tron reading list!

“I've found a few that I'd never have seen otherwise.” — Excellent!

Thank you for the shiny, shiny story! *mounts robot unicorn, takes off for the horizon*

I bought the ’82 novelization through eBay after I saw Legacy. Easily the best $5 I spent that year.
