As promised, here are the summaries available for art claims! There are a few stories where the author has chosen to do their own art, so they've been excluded from this list.

Rating: PG-13 (I think, not good with ratings...)
#4 CLAIMED

Pairing: JR/Apolo
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Unable to sleep in his dorm room in the Olympic Athletes Village in Vancouver, Apolo pays a visit to JR.
#5
Title: Time for Love
Pairing(s): Todd Bertuzzi/Markus Naslund
Summary: Todd and Markus' journey of love starting in Turin Italy and going forward.
Rating: NC-17
#6 CLAIMED
Title: Always Have
Pairing(s): Ryan Lochte/Michael Phelps
Summary: Ryan loves Michael. He always has. But Michael's not sure he feels the same.
Rating: NC-17
#7
Title: Getting the Gold
Pairing(s): Bob/Mike Bryan
Summary: Bob and Mike celebrate finally winning the Gold Medal in doubles... and have some issues when they realize Bob's wife knows about their relationship.
Rating: NC-17
#8
Title: Trials and Tribulations
Pairing: Ryan Lochte/Michael Phelps
Summary: Michael is a little confused heading into London. But it’s not about Ryan. It’s not! Ok. Maybe it’s about Ryan, at least a little bit. Ok. A lot. But it’s not strictly about Ryan. There’s other stuff too.
Rating: NC-17
#9 CLAIMED
Title: Or What You Will
Pairing(s): Ryan Lochte/Michael Phelps (endgame), Cullen Jones/Missy Franklin, Allison Schmitt/Michael Phelps, Allison Schmitt/OFC, unrequited!Allison Schmitt/Missy Franklin/Michael Phelps
Summary: Ryan wants Michael, who likes Missy who is Ryan’s sister, who is dating Cullen - so he hates Michael, who is with Allison to make Missy jealous, which is making Ryan jealous because he wants Michael.
College!au. So, this is extremely loosely based off She’s The Man, which in turn was a loose adaption of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night. Obviously I feel more comfortable ‘borrowing’ a plot from a teen movie than the alternative. I’m saying this is a loose adaption of that loose adaption as there’s no cross-dressing, I don't follow the original plots very much, and Ryan/Mike will be endgame whereas the people in the play/movie that they’re based on, aren’t.
Rating: NC-17 for sex and adult themes
#10 CLAIMED
Title: And Love is Love in Beggars and in Kings (Or the One Where Michael and Ryan Both Rise to the Occasions)
Pairing(s): Ryan Lochte/Michael Phelps, background Nathan Adrian/Matt Grevers
Summary: The Prince and Princess of North and South Carolina kill themselves after they're told they can't be together, in a way eerily reminiscent of Romeo and Juliet, kickstarting a ripple affect that spreads across the Federation of the United States of America - 51 states, all with their own sovereigns. Prince Ryan of Florida and Prince Michael of Baltimore meet (again) at their memorial, as tragedy strikes for Michael. Ryan, having lived through his own family problems, becomes an emotional crutch for Michael, who at 19 is forced to become something he wasn't planning on contemplating until later in his young life. (Ugh, that summary makes it sound like a friggin' soap opera - I'm sorry! It's really not that dramatic, I guess... but there is royalty and closeted(ish) angsting, so.)
Rating: NC-17 for sex and adult themes
#11
Title: your weekend lover
Pairing(s): Louis Smith/Tom Daley, Kristian Thomas/Prince Harry
Summary: It happens like this: in Beijing, Louis accidentally breaks tiny Tom Daley's heart. In London, Kate Middleton sets Kristian up with a Prince. Somewhere in between they win a bronze medal together. But Kristian is not going to be Queen, and Louis is not pining.
Rating: PG-13
#12
Title: Gold Medals meet Gold Hearts
Pairing(s): Michael Phelps/Ryan Lochte
Summary: Based on this prompt. Michael accidentally picks up a hooker.
OK, Ryan was hot. Like, his white t-shirt had some pretty horrendous bedazzling or some shit on it, and his jeans were crazily tight, and even in the dark light of the bar Michael could see his sneakers were definitely a color that had never, ever been found in nature, but he was really hot. Model-levels of attractive and he was hitting on Michael. Michael had no frame of reference for this.
Rating: NC17
#13
Title: Feet on the Ground, Head in the Sky
Pairing(s): Misty May/Kerri Walsh
Summary: There's a legend out there, somewhere, about the pirate captain Walsh, with sun-kissed hair and a ship of golden sails, and her infamous master gunner, May. The legend goes that they were the deadliest duo in all the seven seas, the most adept sailors, the fiercest fighters. That is not this story. (This is the story about Misty, and Kerri, and heartbreak and uncertainty, so drink up, me hearties, yo ho.) [set in Otherworldstimes]
Rating: Hmmmm, PG-13? Mebbe? Shit gets dark, and mildly ~sensual
#14
Title: just want to stare into the light
Pairing(s): Max Whitlock/Sam Oldham & Kristian Thomas/Louis Smith
Summary: Boarding School AU. In which Louis and Kristian co-host a radio show, everyone overuses twitter, and there’s far too much pining (mostly the oblivious sort).
Rating: PG-13
#15 CLAIMED
Title: yesterday went to soon
Pairing(s): Phelps/Lochte
Summary: There's a momentary pang of longing so strong that it makes you feel like the room has flipped upside down and back around you, leaving you disoriented; nauseated. Then it's gone and the longing is just loneliness and self-imposed exile and you know you brought it all on yourself, even if part of you tried to blame him for so long. He was the one still training, going on his merry way without you; still having fun.
Rating: R/NC-17
#16
Title: after the rush
Pairing(s): Greg Rutherford/Katarina Johnson-Thompson
Summary: He's a mad man in the rain and she's the only one mad enough to go out and bring him inside to get dry.
Rating: R
#17 CLAIMED
Title: The Complications of an Uncomplicated Situation
Pairing(s): Ryan Lochte/Missy Franklin and Ryan Lochte/Michael Phelps
Summary: For two years, Ryan Lochte's professional life has been stellar. He's dominating the pool, signing lucrative contracts, and the 2012 Olympics are his. However, over that same time, his family life becomes muddled in a series of devastating events. He longs for simplicity. Enter Missy Franklin. She's exactly what Ryan needs. But sleeping with a 17 year old? Not the best move, especially when Ryan's previous lover, the rather complex Michael Phelps, finds out.
Rating: NC-17 - adult themes, lots of angst.
