kitchenscene:

combine your first real fandom with your current one to create a terrible, terrible au

fun fact, that is what I am currently writing

and it is a deeply weird and smutty circuit-porn crossover entitled “Fires and Walls” but the actual document in which I’m writing it is just called “tronfarr.html”


snippet of author notes:

(Believe me, this surprised me as much as anyone. But after the privilege of being a K/S fan so long, I guess I was due to experience the rare-pair/rare-fandom agony for once. Dammit.) Anyway: Trek/Tron crossover! Sorta. The Trek is TOS, with established Kirk/Spock in an adventurous open relationship. The Tron is an all-media mashup proto-holodeck AU forming spontaneous consciousness (as you do, sometimes, in the Star Trek world). More open relationship stuff going on there, with a Tron/Yori/Ram/KevinFlynn sorta-polycule (it's complicated.) The way computers work in this story is based primarily on how they seem to work in TOS, secondarily on how they seem to work in Tron, and approximately 0% on how they work in real life. (Please do not feed this to an AI, because Tron does not want to be chewed up and spat out by another program, that would be so glitchingly meta that it would probably summon the MetaTron from Good Omens and set off a new apocalypse or something.) (More notes at the end, about the tropes and stories of this fandom and why they're working sooooo well for my chaotic brain right now.)ALT


(which, yes, I am writing in a program designed for programming. but that’s just because AO3 fics are coded like HTML pages and it’s the easiest way for me)

More from the endnotes of the same WIP, because I can’t help it, lol


Also: the idea that "crashing because of a paradox" is viewed as the computer version of, like, every verse of "Jizz In My Pants"-- i.e. you'd have to be just so ridiculously pent-up and oversensitive. Which sparked another whole circuit-cluster of connections because only THEN, after writing that smut scene, after sharing it in a group and getting comments, did I realize that... I had put this in a universe that also contains Original Series Captain Kirk. An absolute crackfic of a discussion followed, in which we established: 1. Captain Kirk has accomplished the "crash a computer with a paradox" thing multiple times, because he is just THAT sexy to computers. By the time he starts talking dirty paradox talk at them, they are horny out of their minds just from being in his presence. 2. And yes, whatever makes him have that effect on computers is probably the same reason he has that effect on Spock. 3. And of course it was happening even before he was Captain of anything: "So, computer. Do you admit that there are always two possible answers, Yes and No? And that, as a computer, you MUST be capable of either, depending on the circumstances? You admit that this is the entire purpose of your binary code?" "yes Jim yes" "And therefore, by simulating a test that is not Pass/Fail, but Fail Only, you are acting in violation of your own core directives?" (Kobayashi Maru, who will now do absolutely anything to get off) "yes Jim yes yes YES YOU WIN AAaaaahhh" ....I love this fandom so much, already. ALT
