Alan’s eyes met a too-familiar gaze - one that had often stared back at him from the mirror. Except it was framed by a visage a good 3 decades younger, and there was no mirror now. Too direct also, unblinking, and too shadowed … Tron’s head remained canted down in spite of all their encouragement, and the faded blue looked almost gray beneath his lowered brows.

Alan shivered, and couldn’t help drawing Lora closer to his side. Couldn’t help the possessive curl of his fingers around her waist. There was a counterpart for her as well, he had heard - fate as yet unknown. He feared what might have happened to this Yori, knowing what had happened to Tron …

A soft murmur of protest, a touch upon his shoulder, and he apologetically loosened his grip. “Sorry - ” he began, glancing down … and lost the rest of his words at the look upon his wife’s face.

There was fondness there, as he had imagined she might have looked if they had ever been blessed with a child. But most of all, there was wonder, eyes gleaming with more than just the reflected status lights of the laser console. Her hand still rested absently upon his arm, her attention focused solely upon the digital miracle before them, and when he followed her rapt gaze back to the lone figure, he wondered if maybe Tron was standing just a little bit straighter than before.

And you can find a whole bunch on the AO3:
