#Pavel x Paige

[kiki-mimi222222222]

I think, PP (Pavel x Paige) always have been canon. And Paige is aware, that Pavel is into her, yet does not accept it, because Pavel’s love is…. Toxic and abusive? I mean, dude, stop hurting her, and maybe she will believe you about Tesler at last.

Bartik and Hopper are so right about him rn.

There’s a distinguished roll of her eyes as Pavel opens his mouth, spewing words with what she’s convinced is the most annoying voice in the system. Shooting the other commander a glare, Paige downs her drink in one gulp, standing from her chair as she works through how she’ll beat him back to the base. If he’s here too, that means he’s also late and can be shown up.

Watching him leave, she turns back to her companion, “Good to know.” A heavy pause as she bites her bottom lip, “I’ll see you later then? Same place?” It’s as much of a positive answer as she’s capable of giving. A promise to keep. Another meeting between two hearts.

“Count on it,” Alan smiles though his eyes reveal a pain of knowing, of understanding the bitterness of being betrayed. While he has no intention of betraying her, he understands the difficulty of letting someone in. He should know. Sometimes people turned out to be different than you thought or things happened beyond your control.

As he watched her go, he wondered about her meeting and how they’d even met. Granted, he remembered their meeting. Still, it never ceased to amaze him how alike, and yet different, their two worlds were. Working as a medic was easy enough, except when he had to pretend to know less than he really did. Still, it was a much easier transition than he initially thought. Thankfully, the other medics just assumed he was an exceptionally talented medic and so far hadn’t questioned it beyond that.

Lying to programs wasn’t his first choice, but facing de-resolution (if it could be called that) simply because he wasn’t a program wasn’t much of a choice either. Even if revealing his identity didn’t mean certain death, it would undoubtedly cause a stir. At present, he isn’t sure if causing a stir is a good thing or a bad thing. If he had to guess, he’d err on the side of caution. Until he knew more, he’d have to assume that a disruption likely meant causing the deaths of more innocent programs. If only there was a way to tell them. A way without disrupting their lives.

“I won’t let you down,” he said softly, more to himself really.

Salty asks: 1-27.

Assuming this is the fandom of your namesake. 

1. OTP that I just don’t get. Probably Sam/Tron. Not to say some folks can’t REALLY fucking rock it (see the “We Are Pilots” verse), but it takes a lot of work. Their only meeting in canon was in a duel to the death with the Program being brainwashed and crazy, and Sam has very little if any reason to even like the guy, even in a post-Legacy setup. 

2, Fandom OTP I only BroTP:  Probably Tron/Ram. Ram had too much chemistry with Flynn, and Tron was single-minded enough about Yori to put his deity on hold. While I can very easily see group marriage as a normal part of Program society, it’s not something I can see in canonical circumstances. 

3. Unfollowed someone over a fandom opinion? Nope. But if they trash my faves, I hope they can back up their dislike with a very good argument. 

4.  A NoTP for my fandom. Not touching Sam/Alan with a 10-meter Rod Primitive. The age gap for one, the paternal role Alan took for two, the fact Lora is not dead in this timeline third, the fourth is the possibility of OT3: Shall We Dance making this ship even more brain-breaking.

5. Has fandom ruined a pairing for me? Not in this fandom, but I’ve avoided the hell out of some shows because I saw the fandom for them was such a big ball of crazy that I wanted to avoid it like kryptonite. 

6. Has fandom made me enjoy a pairing I previously hated? I’m not sure if it’s a good thing, and I’m not sure I’d call it “enjoy,” but there are some Clu/”Rinzler” fics that almost make the whole thing come out as something marginally less squicky and more interesting than “sadist and his sex slave.” 

7. Anything I used to like but dislike now? Y’know, I kinda used to dig Flynn/Alan slash. But after I realized I could make a drinking game out of them (take a shot if they mention Lora, chug the whole thing if they mention Jordan - stay sober the whole night), they lost a lot of appeal. I’ll make an exception for “Shall We Dance” scenarios. Heck, I love Shall We Dance because it’s a very different matter if Lora’s aware and on board with the whole thing. Heck, if someone upgrades it to an Ot4 of “Shall We Dance With Jordan,” then I owe them a six-pack of top-quality beer or cane-sugar soda and my enthusiastic gratitude. 

8. Anon hate? Yes. Received it. But over politics, not fandom. It’s to be expected. The Galaxy Rangers list used to have “don’t talk to Allronix about politics” as one of the bylaws. 

9. Most hated character? Probably Pavel. He’s such a transparent slimeball with little in the way of interesting motivation. Tesler? While he’s a nasty piece of work, there’s wiggle room to argue that he’s doing what he’s doing for the good of the system and doesn’t like doing what he does. Sark? Incredible ham and definitely one note, but David Warner plays the best creeps ever.  (He out-creeped Malcolm McDowell, that’s near-impossible) 

10. Most disliked arc. Probably the Isos. I’m still not sure what they were, or why they were special or what was so great about them, or how they would change everything, aside from the implication they were partly biological. Which is great and all, but the way it was handled has an “organics rule, synthethics drool” vibe that is pretty insulting when everything else in the franchise shows that the Programs are just as capable of love, hate, morality, humor, and free will as the humans who built them. 

11. Unpopular character I like that the fandom doesn’t? I just had to have the bad luck…or the good luck…to latch on very hard to the Tron 2.0 characters. Good luck in that it’s unexplored territory. Bad luck in that I seem to be the only one who writes Mercury, or Crown, or I-No. 

12. Unpopular arc I like the fandom doesn’t? 2.0 again. What got me about it is that the 1982 and Legacy films dealt with malevolent AI who were cruel of other AI and wanted to extend the cruelty. 2.0 inverted it; the uncorrupted Programs were, with very few exceptions, wanting to protect themselves and their home. The corrupted Programs were driven insane by a User who embraced the worst parts of the role. And then you had F-Con who planned to crank that up even more so that they could rule both worlds from the shadows. It really needed to be explored more, as it was a great start. 

13. Unpopular opinion about a character: Sam Flynn kinda spooks me. He has no reason to be merciful or benevolent to Programs. As far as he saw, his dad believed in them, and they stabbed his dad in the back, kept his dad away from him, tried to kill him, tried to kill Quorra, killed all of Quorra’s people, and eventually killed his dad right in front of him. And he’s taking over command of a software company with barely any time to process that trauma.  It’s probably not going to end well for the Programs unless something intervenes.

14. Unpopular opinion about the fandom: They have very little interest in reclaiming the female characters from the margins, and that’s quite frustrating. Quorra and Paige get some fics here and there, but even those petered out. Yes, this fandom is VERY heavily skewed male, but you’ve got Quorra, Paige, Mara, Gorn, Lux, Yori, Lora, Gem, etc. in Legacy canon, and some great potential with Mercury, Ma3a, and Eva Popoff if you import from 2.0. I was hoping to see at least SOMEONE write up a fanfic about Jordan. What kind of woman could handle a brilliant, cheerful, crazy ball of energy like 80′s!Flynn?  

15. Unpopular opinion about the canon: Legacy is very difficult for me to watch. Even though it totally brought the whole thing back from the dead, it’s just frustrating to watch. Not to say everyone didn’t bring their A-game to it, but it took everything that made the first film so much fun and destroyed it, ending up as a depressing waste where everyone loses, and Dillinger Jr is just waiting in the wings to cause even more trouble. 

16. If I could change anything about the canon, what to change? Tron 2.0 totally happened. It would not be hard to come up with a workaround for Ma3a that keeps Lora alive. There’s probably about three or four ways I could come up with other than the made of crack one I’ve got going in my fics. 

17. Instead of X happening, I’d go with Y: If you want something other than “instead of 2.0 being thrown out the airlock, it’s part of canon,” I would have loved to see Sam get rescued by Bartik’s crew (Bonus points if Yori’s running the damn thing) and then meet up with his dad and Quorra. That way, there could have been a little more complexity to the Grid situation and a way to avoid the whole “Programs are evil!” thing Legacy ended up with.

18. Does not shipping something ‘popular’ mean you’re in denial and/or biased? Shipping, IMO is shorthand for schools of character interpretation. Someone who ships Quorra/Sam is going to have a different take than someone who ships Quorra/Zues, or Quorra/Paige. They’re all looking at the same data, but the interpretation of the data is going to vary.   

19. One thing I dislike most about my fandom: It’s a back alley of the 80′s that its own company barely wants to admit they did. This makes canon and newcomers a little hard to come by.

20. Purest ship in the fandom. Tron/Yori was my first OTP. They’re still my OTP, because 82!Tron was such a sweet, earnest dork and Yori was such an adorable, sneaky badass. Post-Legacy? It’s going to be one heck of a climb no matter which guess you take about Yori’s fate (And seriously? Morgan got gypped), but having those two limp off into whatever digital sunset there is would be the closest we get to a happy ending that’s canon-compatible.

21. Crack ships? A crack ship for the sake of a crack ship is a “no thanks!” But there are ships that look like someone did them on a three-drink dare that actually manage to work. I’m thinking to KOTOR fandom where someone made a REALLY awesome case for Canderous/Bastila that should not have worked and totally did. 

22. Popular character I dislike: It’s not so much “dislike” as “I’m not sure what to make of them.” Really wanted some development on Sam. Quorra got Evolution and a nice episode of Uprising, but Sam…he’s still a bit of a blank to me. 

23. Unpopular character I adore:  I especially latched on hard to Jet Bradley after reading the Ghost in the Machine comic because he had clearly done a lot of thinking about what being a User means in that setting, and was bringing up points no one else bothered with. As such, he makes an excellent foil and walking deconstruction fleet while still being, ostensibly, one of the good guys. 

24. Would I recommend Tron to a friend? Only with a ton of disclaimers. This was made in the EARLY 80′s, by people who apparently had no fucking idea what they were doing, and Disney probably signed off on it while under the influence of something. But the combination ends up as something inexplicably brilliant and probably launched thousands of computer animation careers and hundreds more IT careers. 

25.   How would I end it? I’ve got fics in mind for it. I kitbash 2.0 and Legacy shamelessly. The ending I have in mind? Well, Alan and Lora end up giving up their lives in analog to rebuild the Rome Flynn started. Jet ends up dedicating his life to serving the Programs and goes a bit native. Mercury and Tron act as the primary “knights” of Alan and Lora. Sam and Quorra handle much of the rest in the analog world, slowly trying to open up the world and make it ready for the revelation of the digital one. And Yori runs a reformation of the Program religion so that they are prepared to accept the Users as fallible beings who are still powerful, but less “worship as deity” and more “we depend on one another - don’t screw it up.” 

26. Most shippable character? Probably Flynn. I can see him as a fellow who would (prior to the coup) enjoy himself and his opportunities to the fullest, including trying anything twice sexually. 

27. Least shippable character: Probably Esomond Baza. He’s a coward with so little self-esteem, self-respect, or a moral compass that he needs a few months of therapy before even thinking of a date.

Pavel x Paige [rus]

То было очень внезапно и непредсказуемо... Хотя стоило ожидать, что однажды они все-таки сойдутся, и не просто в отношениях, интересах по работе, но и в своем азартном противостоянии, которое для них самих было невинной потехой, но не настолько сильно и бурно. Даже сам Сайрус бы удивился тому, что две программы позволили себе утонуть на самое дно служебного романа, причем одна всячески пыталась убить вторую, однако по смутным мотивам, с очень туманной мотивацией все равно возвращалась за ней. За Пейдж.

Что бы Павел не натворил, он знал, что Пейдж выживет. Она, словно феникс, всегда вылетает из пекла. Совсем невредимой и такой же живой. Именно этим она нравилась офицеру, растлевала в его холодном и  черством теле огонь. Благодаря Пейдж программа чувствовала себя живой. Красивая, умная, храбрая, справедливая и сексуальная. Она была слишком идеальной для него, он был ее недостоин (как и Бек впрочем). Не Теслер заставлял Павлушу чувствовать  себя цифровым и обесцененным червем, хотя при генерале мужчина сутулился, как мышь, и осыпал его всяческими комплиментами. Такими фальшивыми, что самому было тошно. 

А так офицер своего начальника ненавидел и боялся. Всю ему жизнь испортил своим террором в Аргоне. И чтобы выжить, нужно пробраться вверх, к самой элите, ходить по трупам. Только так, никак иначе, либо в одн прекрасный наноцикл сам бы обнулился. Ему было мало быть офицером. Точнее Павел не хотел прогинаться под Теслера, он устал жить под ним в страхе, видеть, как ген��рал в приступе истерии убивает рядового солдата. И так скоро дойдет очередь до них  с Пейдж.

А женщина каждый раз с отвращением фыркала на коллегу, когда тот рассказывал "небылицы" про ее "кумира" и наставника. А Павел то как раз был прав. Абсолютно прав. Теслер никогда и ни к кому не был и не будет добр, даже к бесконечно лояльной ученице. Вот она, забота Павла. Он, отчаянно пытаясь перетянуть наивную и заблудшую овечку на свою сторону, хочет ведь спасти от участи рядовых, но любовница и слушать не желает, уж слишком безнадежно ослеплена своей же чертой характера: постоянно пытается найти в злых и коррупционных программах проблески доброты. Ей повезло, что они есть в Павеле, хоть и блеклые. Все потому, что он позволил ей увидеть, он только ей доверяет свою жизнь и знает, что она простит ему любые пакости и не обнулит. К этой удивительно стойкой и живучей женщине он уже привязан, и если ее казнят, офицеру будет тяжело жить дальше, то будет, пожалуй, его единственным ударом по больному.

Они друг друга идеально дополняют: кремневая прочность и верность вместе с пытливым умом и и приобретенным за годы жизни изворотливостью. Да, после того несчастного случая бывшая медсестра научилась стоять на своих двух, терпеть утраты и сражаться за порядок. Но не научилась быть безжалостной, как программа, которая прямой сейчас возвысилась над ней, подобно стервятнику над добычей, готовому терзать, показывая свою "любовь". Такая невменяемая любовь, пассивно-агрессивная, с горечью язвы, переливающаяся, словно чешуя хамелеона, в ненависть.
