1''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/1396630 Ice Ice Baby]]'', simply known as IIB, is an unfinished RealPersonFic started in late 2013 by buckgaybarnes [[http://archiveofourown.org/users/buckgaybarnes/pseuds/stevebucky]] and hamwroteconfessionspart2 [[http://archiveofourown.org/users/tickingclocks/pseuds/hamwroteconfessionspart2]] on Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn. It chronicles an alternate version of the 2013 Sochi Winter Olympics, in which instead of using actual athletes, the four gods (Oprah, Idris Elba, Liam Neeson, and Chiwetel Ejifor) summon their "gayest followers" to compete for their honor. These followers just so happen to be the world's most famous (and most irrelevant) celebrities.

3Known for its impeccably large cast, gratuitous use of celebrity cameos, and shameless self-inserting, Ice Ice Baby follows several subplots that are somehow interconnected to an evil scheme orchestrated by the fic's BigBad, {{Music/Macklemore}}. While the Mackle-No-More-League, led by Terrence Howard, plots to take Mackle down, President Obama has at least five crises of faith, Don Cheadle learns to love again, Sandra Bullock falls down steps, lots of people die, many horrible references are made to horrible movies, Music/OneDirection cause shenanigans, and ten musicals are put on.

5Meanwhile, something looms over their heads that none of them are prepared for.

10!!''Ice Ice Baby'' contains examples of:
11
12* AllStarCast: Every single character is famous to some extent.
13* BigBad: Macklemore, along with his henchmen, Tyler Oakley, Queen Latifah, Perez Hilton, and John Green
14* BrotherSisterIncest: The members of One Direction are technically brothers, birthed from Simon Cowell's womb. This makes Larry (Harry and Louis) incestuous, and their baby, Frederick Reign Zayn RBB Niall Horan Stylinson [[spoiler:an abomination that ends up being the antichrist]].
15* ButICantBePregnant: Liam more-so than Louis' response to his pregnancy. "Where is it even supposed to come out?" indeed.
16%%* CastFullOfGay
17* CelebrityParadox: Averted. Each character is self-aware and knows that they (and their surrounding competitors) are famous. Allusions to their past projects abound.
18* ClearTheirName: For Dane Dehaan after he is framed for the murder of Paul Mooney.
19* ComingOutStory: For [[spoiler: Barack as a bisexual mutant]]
20* TheDayOfReckoning
21* EvilPlan: Macklemore's nefarious plot to marry all the gays to use them as his slaves.
22* HaveYouTriedNotBeingAMonster: [[spoiler: Joe to Barack on at least three different occasions after he comes out as a mutant.]]
23%%* HeterosexualLifePartners: Cuba and Luda (known as Cubacris)
24%%* LoveTriangle: So. Many.
25* ManicPixieDreamGirl: Ben Stiller, down to the pink hair and "love for life".
26* MeetCute: Between Don Cheadle and James Franco, specifically a CrashIntoHello that ends in Le Petit Prince discourse.
27* NotJustATournament: On the surface this fic acts as an Olympic RPF, but it is much more...much MUCH more...
28%%* PornWithPlot: Chapter 7, "Battle of the Bulge"
29%%* RescueRomance: Ben and Terrence after the seige of Macklemore
30%%* SerialKiller: Ted Cruz, probably James Franco
31* TheShowMustGoOn: Said word for word when Zach's musical "Cobweb!" is almost cancelled mid-show due to a Macklemore sighting. Luckily, Aaron Tveit, George Blagden, Jitterbug #2, and stripping save the show.
32* WorkingTheSameCase: The [=FreshBI=], notable hardass lawyer Roussey J. Voight, and somehow Steve Harvey, all get caught up in the Dane Dehaan trial for the murder of Paul Mooney.
