EVERYTHING TAKES YOU BACK

the song drabble meme

It's pretty simple and fun, folks. This is how this works!
( 01 ) Have a playlist ready! Don't use all your songs--try and narrow it down a little.
( 02 ) Let everyone know how many songs you're working with. Also, which characters you would be willing to write about.
( 03 ) Others tag your post, picking a character or pairing or friendship or familial relationship or whatever, and then choose a number from your list.

( 04 ) Write a drabble related to that song, using that/those character(s)!

<b>Characters:</b> -Name || (<lj user="username"></lj> ) -Name || (<lj user="username"></lj> ) <b>Number of Tracks:</b>

- reference our previous meme if you're still confused

Anon and Gibson (with bonus Rinzler), 5

[recompiling]

Prizefighter – Bush

Anon was made for this. There was no getting around that.

Gibson missed his performance on the Game Grid, though Anon assured him it was less impressive and more depressing. Though he got the feeling that Anon phrased it that way because he hadn’t liked derezzing a bunch of programs that weren’t actually security issues. He had seen him in action in Bostrum, though, cutting through Clu’s scouts and Black Guards like they were Gridbugs. And now here in the district named, ironically, Gibson. Against Rinzler. Who was Anon’s mentor a lifetime ago.

Funny how things work out.

Rinzler had caught up to Gibson and would have probably derezzed him, if Anon hadn’t shown up out of nowhere. For a program with bright white lighting, he could manage a shocking amount of stealth when he tried.
… okay, or maybe Gibson just hadn’t noticed him leaping across rooftops above him. He can’t keep track of the little Monitor on a good day, okay? For being so tiny he was damn quick.

Either way, Anon had stepped in, disc drawn, and put himself squarely in between the ISO and the other Monitor. The two hadn’t exchanged words so much as looks, but he could read that conversation clearly.

‘The ISO will bring chaos to this System. He must be destroyed.’
‘He is special. The Grid’s last hope -‘ something that Anon refrained from speaking of at all costs, after that first fiasco about the Purge ‘- and I will not let you harm him.’
‘Then you will join him.’

Anon seemed deeply saddened by this, though he tried to hide it by turning and giving Gibson a shove in the general direction of Away. “Gibson, go!” The lacing of static in the little Monitor’s voice – heavier than usual – didn’t cover the urgency in his tone in the least.

That was the only reason why he took off like he was told. But he didn’t go far, finding a spot to hide where he could see the fight.

Using one disc to Rinzler’s two, Anon seemed hard-pressed but managed to hold his own. Though it seemed to even out when power – no, corruption – exploded from Anon’s disc, crackling harshly and leaving a trail of black and green in its wake. Rinzler lost his grip on his discs, unable to retrieve them until the short burst of corruption wore off.

It still wouldn’t end well. His friend – a Beta, like him (in a way) – didn’t stand a chance against the Program that was occasionally still Tron. But at least he’d be here long enough to witness some of Anon’s last, best fight.

That is...very depressing. /wibbles

And yet beautifully rendered.

...but so depressing! ;_______;

[recompiling]

Anon just wants everyone to get along ;-;

Even if it means getting killed again to do it :(

[double_discs]

That is so horribly saddening and hopeful at the same time. STOP BEING A GIG OF CONTRADICTIONS, ANON. It's heartwarming and depressing and impossible not to love to death. ;a;

;_;

LOVE IT oh Anon will you ever stop being the most adorable and self-sacrificing no I don't think so

Re: ;_;

[recompiling]

He can't help it, the poor little thing!

Also yaaay I did good :D

Anon, please stop getting yourself killed for your friends. Please. (And Gibson wouldn't notice him being an awesome traceur bodyguard, because he's a derp.)

I love it, though. ♥

[recompiling]

But I have to, they're my friends and they can't take care of themselves :( (But we love Gibson's derp so it's cool.)

Yay!
I swear, every time I write Anon it's hideously cute or completely depressing.
... Or hatesex with Abraxas.

[theshirtlessiso.livejournal.com]

Gibson can totally take care of himself! B| It's just that... his sense of self-preservation is usually overwhelmed by his need to snark at everything--and sometimes the program he's snarking at is one who's kind of been reprogrammed and kind of wants to kill ISOs!

Anon's life is apparently either ridiculously cute or ridiculously depressing. There are no in-betweens!
... although hatesex with Abraxas is also acceptable.

[recompiling]

Yeah, and Anon's the only one that's a good guy all the time and not garbage at disc combat. So he has to be there to get all the everyone out of trouble. Especially Gibson, 'cause snark. At least he wuffs Gibson?

Anon has such an extreme lifestyle, man.
... he would probably disagree, but gdit I ship it like burning now.

[theshirtlessiso.livejournal.com]

Gibson needs rescuing far more often than he'd really like to admit. /eyes half-finished drabble

Hateships are the best ships. This is a fact.

[recompiling]

/enables until it's done
/... tempts into finishing by dangling that extra drabble that finally got a decent song shuffled for it?

They really are.
