  Summary

  Alan made a point to bring out an old program too intricately tangled in Kevin's mainframe for its survival... He never imagined that its mere existence would tear his brain in so many ways at once "but Flynn didn't realize it, did he... Had he any idea how much the Basics could be fascinating..."
  A collection of independent chapters with variable time gaps, most of them set in digital systems. (Philosophy. Science with loopholes. Weak Headcanon.)
  Also, I don't know how to rate this; it feels like a M to my gray ace brain, but most people might consider it a T.
  (Also loosely inspired by The Legacy Variations of Shadow_Chaser, and many other fics from crossing fandoms.)
