Summary
Grantaire's chair wheels around and fuck, that's not fair. He's a god, he's an angel, he's the devil. Grantaire's breath has been knocked out of his lungs and his mouth is slack but he doesn't care, because Apollo is grinning at him and sure, it's also aimed at the crowd, but then he's looking straight at Grantaire when he sings "I love you" and it's so soft and intense and Grantaire wants to cry.
Jehan's chair turns as well and the possesive growl that has slipped passed Grantaire's lips is not human.
(Or, a very sudden The Voice AU where the Fantastic Four are judges, Enjolras has a voice sent from heaven above and Cosette is the creepy spawn of Lucifer.)

Summary
WELCOME TO MIND PALACE 2K15. SIX CHARACTERS. ONE HOUSE. ONE VERY LONG HIATUS. (OR. WHEN PEOPLE STOP BEING POLITE AND START BEING DINNER.)
Basically, a reality show-esque AU (made of Art and Fic) - where Hannibal, Will, Tristan, Galahad, Prince Charmont, and Johann Struensee, all step out of their lives to come live in a big house together. Shenanigans ensue, relationships form, and everyone finds a little of what they're looking for. Occasionally cracky, rather sexy, with whispers of angst and mountains of fluff...in the end, it's one big beautiful mess. Chapters function kind of like episodes, some based on larger arcs, some based off your asks!

Summary
Naked and Afraid XL, July 23rd - Auguts 31st is starring contestants from Discovery's Naked and Afraid, a show where people are abandoned naked in an unknown terrain with only one helpful item of their own choice, where a contestant and their partner have to survive 21 days. They can tap out any time they'd like or if they sustain a serious injury.
However, this ground breaking XL version brings things to a new level. Instead of a team of two for 21 days, 12 previous Naked and Afraid contestants are dumped in a large Colombian landscape. Will the teams find each other? And will they survive the 40 days of this extended, extreme challenge? Or will they tap out?
This is Naked and Afraid XL.

“Alright, so Mr. Nikiforov,” Takeshi said, leaning forward with a gleam in his eyes. Victor was sure this was big for them, everything in their body language screamed it. Well, if Victor managed to pull this through as he wanted to, he was sure it was going to be even bigger than they expected. “Who is this lucky person who has caught your eye?”
This was insane.
Victor couldn’t help but feel excitement over it. How long had it been since he felt like this?
He rested back, and crossed his legs, completely aware of having their full attention.
“Have you ever heard of another figure skater named Katsuki Yuuri?”
The sound that left Hiashis’ mouth wasn’t fully human.

Summary
Louis' tone is maybe a bit harsher than necessary, but he still stinging from the suggestion that he was staring at Harry. Sure, the way his legs are encased in those skinny jeans is mildly intriguing. But Louis is here to be the next Top Designer, and he'll be damned if he lets a pretty boy with a sinful mouth get in the way of his dream. Especially if that sinful mouth is spewing phrases like bohemian pantsuit. Honestly.
Or the one where Louis tries out for Project Runway, Harry is his stupidly gorgeous competitor, Liam is Tim Gunn, Zayn is the supermodel host, and Niall is the guest judge who knows nothing about fashion.

Dystopian AU where fame is the name of the game. Sometimes revenge is the quickest way to the top, and Derek Hale has plenty to avenge - Stiles is just along for the ride.

That time Stiles and Scott "competed" for Allison's love on a reality TV show by otter

Summary
The thing is, Stiles has no interest whatsoever in going on a TV dating show. Deep down, in his heart of hearts -- and publicly, to anyone who is foolish enough to bring up the topic -- Stiles thinks it's kind of pathetic. Because it's all fake, for starters, like all "reality" TV is fake, but also he thinks the people who go on those shows are more interested in attention than love, so what's the point? It's like narcissistic masturbation with some television exhibitionism thrown in for good measure. And letting the entire nation -- nay, the world -- mock your lack of pick-up prowess? Noooo thank you.

Summary
Letting out a long sigh, Derek turns away and braces himself for the next hellish filming segment. After all, apparently he’s going to have to smile while greeting twenty-five contestants. Shit, what if they try to hug him? Or, god forbid, kiss –
He doesn’t get any further with that thought, because a limo pulls into the driveway. He braces himself for the worst. The worst, who… actually doesn’t look that horrifying.
“I’ve been dying to meet you!” she exclaims as she catches sight of him.
Then, she flings herself at him and ensnares him in a bone-crushing hug.
Scratch that – she’s completely horrifying. And Derek’s pretty sure he can hear errand boy what’s-his-face laughing in the distance.
(Or: In which Derek gets roped into being the 'eligible bachelor' on a dating show and instead falls for one of the show's interns.)

Summary
Too late, he realizes that the handsome stranger spoke to him and Louis has yet to respond. He puts on his most dazzling smile before speaking. “Why yes, I must be. Are you one of the lovely people competing for my affections, then?”
Instead of confirming his suspicions, though, the man laughs in a way that is both inappropriately loud and extremely endearing. “Unfortunately not,” he gets out through his chuckles. “I’m Harry. I’ll be your host today.”
Louis is dealing with heartache. Niall signs him up for a dating show to help him move on.

Summary
No one can say Louis isn't motivated to win The Amazing Race. He wants to be the best partner Liam can have, and his mum could definitely use the million quid. But. He noticed Harry two seconds after reading their first clue and then sort of hasn't stopped. How could he, Harry's a two-metre, tattooed, good-humoured charmer who probably has an arsenal of bad jokes and fifty pets with unimaginative names. So he kept an eye on him, like he would all their competitors. Just to measure him up.
Or, an Amazing Race AU where Louis and Liam are the driven, athletic guys who are in it to win it, Harry and Niall are the useless best friends that get by due to luck and possibly magic, and somewhere between Italy and Japan Louis falls inconveniently in love. (Also Zayn is the supermodel host.)

Summary
"Yeah, yeah, give it to me, that's it, spread your legs a bit, there you go."
The camera follows Louis as he does. Maybe if the modelling thing doesn't work out, he could try the porn industry. Then again, he's a bit too stocky to be twinky and a bit too twinky to be anything else. He likes that about himself, though. Well, directors and photographers like that about him. He could pull off pretty and edgy, could do GQ in the morning and a perfume commercial in the afternoon. Right now he thinks he could pull off anything, because it's Harry fucking Styles directing him.
Or, a Top Model AU where Louis is accidentally there to make friends, not become Britain's Next Top Model. (Also Zayn is the supermodel host.)

”You’ve got egg on your face”, says Louis.
Nick isn’t quite following. ”What?”
Louis rolls his eyes. ”You’ve got egg on your cheek. Looks stupid.”
Nick could be inside with a cup of tea and a scone right now. Nick had thought – perhaps naively - that they were past all this now. That they could go back to behaving like adults.
”Right, I’m not gonna do th –”, is all he gets out before Louis practically launches himself at Nick, mouth first.
Or, the Tomlinshaw GBBO AU nobody asked for.

Louis couldn’t be prouder of his bake, but there’s something—there’s something. Something about Harry Styles and the earnest way he measures, pours, mixes, scrapes. Something about the tip of his tongue poking out of his mouth as he knocks the air out of his batter.
or a great british bake off au in which louis cares about winning and winning only, harry is made of sunshine and rainbow sprinkles, and niall sticks his nose into other people's business. also featuring liam as louis's best friend-slash-concerned mother, and zayn as a macaron connoisseur.

Summary
Viktor has always felt a strange connection to Bridget Jones, something that Yuri will never understand. Sure, there are quite a few differences between them: first, Viktor doesn’t feel very insecure about his looks (apart from his thinning hairline) and second, he doesn’t embarrass himself regularly. He has also made an amazing career and with his status as a high-class celebrity, he probably won’t need to worry too much about money for the rest of his life. But there’s something in Bridget that Viktor understands better than anyone, the fear of never finding your true love and spending your whole life all alone.
Aka "Married at First Sight" AU where both Yuuri and Viktor apply for the said reality television show, become a match and spend 5 weeks together as a married couple.

Stiles can't believe his luck when it turns out that yes, this challenge actually does involve them working in teams.
He goes right on back to believing it when he's paired with Derek.
