NGC Recs Contests & Competitions
Stories where contests, sports, or other competitions are a significant part of the narrative. (Though it doesn’t have to be the main point of the story.)
Generally, one or more characters will be a competitor, but judges, staff, coaches; etc are also valid.

Summary
Yuuri is pretty sure that when an impossible stranger turns up and tells you he’s the god of victory, it doesn’t matter how good-looking he is. The moment he asks you to abandon your mortal life and come back to his mountain kingdom with him, you turn around and walk away.
An AU based loosely around the Greco-Roman pantheon. Very loosely.

Summary
After his car accident, the only time Shen Yuan feels truly alive is playing the VRMMO Proud Demon Immortal Way. As he joins his Jiu-ge’s guild, maybe he’ll find something more than just the ability to run with absence of pain. Maybe someone more.

Summary
Joe and Cherry run into a problem. Conspiracy theories have started to surface in some fan forums of "S" that the two of them are secretly dating one another.
Both of them agree that the idea is absurd, but can't agree on which one of them would be the better boyfriend if they actually were dating. So they decide to have a competition, to see who can be the better romantic partner when pitted up against one another.
