It's something for prompt "Create art for a fic with your favorite artist’s song lyrics as a title" for my @fanartfrenzy bingo card today.
I choose Sous Le Ciel de Paris by @rambleonwaywardson. I love this fic so much, it might be one of my favorites. I remember reading it just before the Games, and it perfectly captured the atmosphere. I still think about this fic and universe a lot, it's such a pleasant and comforting read. Not only did author write an incredible fic about the Olympics, but she also wrote a wonderful Astronauts AU 🫶
Title: Sous Le Ciel de Paris

Fandom: Masters of the Air (TV 2024)
Ship(s): Gale "Buck" Cleven/John Clarence "Bucky" Egan
Summary: Falling in love was not on Gale Cleven’s Paris Olympics bingo card. It is, in fact, the absolute furthest thing from his mind, City of Love be damned. It’s his first Olympics, and he’d like to focus on nothing other than his horse, his riding, and trying to bring home a medal for his team. So it’s a shame that that plan is already falling apart. Falling in love was not in John Egan's plans for this summer. He's crawling his way back up from the ashes after a terrible accident that should have ended his career. The poster boy of U.S. men's gymnastics, he's heading to his second Olympics, finally finding himself again. He just never expected "finding himself" to include a blonde, blue-eyed equestrian. The Clegan Olympics AU as seen on Tumblr. An exploration of a love story as two people let themselves heal from their pasts and find a future in each other - via sports
