Bachelor AU ⎸ have you ever thought just maybe (you belong with me) by @sanazyung

“Jamie. They want to have a season where the lead is openly bisexual, and they have men and women contestants. And they called me. Asking about you.” “Holy shit,” Jamie breathed, steadying himself against his kitchen counter. “They want me to be the fucking Bachelor?”or, jamie is the bachelor. roy is a contestant-but not by his own will. the world gets to watch them fall in love anyway.

Hi, may I ask about the bachelor au please and thank you:3

omg yes. i made a post once about how unhinged a dreamling Bachelor au would be, and then i actually started writing it XD

it's a bit messy/unformatted right now, because it's a sort of outsider POV structure where it alternates between scenes from the TV show and chat commentary from the internet fandom who are watching 😂 hopefully one day I'll actually write all of it

A scene from probably the last/second-to-last episode of the season. The final two "contestants" in the show were Hob (who Morpheus keeps insisting he doesn't have feelings for despite everything he does proving otherwise) and Thessaly.

--

Morpheus leans on the railing, hunched in on himself. Rain pelts down onto his head, flattening his hair and soaking his clothes. Hob steps out through the sliding door, heedless of the rain, to stand beside him, and rests a hand on Morpheus’s back. Hob: Didn’t work out, then? His voice is softer than usual, almost inaudible over the rain. Not playful, or teasing, as it so often is with Morpheus, it’s just… gentle. Morpheus: She… decided… that she no longer loved me. Hob: Poor darling. Again, it’s not teasing, only a bit… sad. Morpheus: I suppose this means that you win. Hob: Yup. Morpheus curls into him, pressing his face into Hob’s chest with a sob. Hob catches him, wraps his arms around his shoulders, and holds him tight. Hob presses a kiss into his hair. Low enough that it’s clearly intended not to be picked up by the mics, he says— Hob: It’s alright, baby. It’s okay, it’s okay— —as Morpheus keeps crying.

INTERVIEW — HOB Hob’s expression is lacking its usual cheer and mischief. His hair is still wet, as though he’s only recently come in out of the rain. Hob: So I guess I won? Interviewer: You don’t sound happy about it. It takes a moment for Hob to respond. He bites his lip in thought, then sighs. Hob: I— it was just supposed to be a game. I thought— I thought we felt the same way about it, I thought— I didn’t even care if I won at first? So it was just for fun, just this totally ridiculous nightmare of a— He scrubs a hand over his face, messing up his hair. Hob: Seeing Dream like that, I didn’t realize, I didn’t realize what it— Interviewer: ‘Dream’? Hob: Hm? Interviewer: You called him Dream. Hob: Did I?

#chat went nuts bc 'dream' is a pet name hob made up that he only called morpheus in private before #also fandom is obsessed with hob bc he keeps doing insane things like threatening to kill people and punching alex in the face but when he' #around morpheus he's always just so sweet #the amount of lore about this fic that exists in my head but not on paper is incredible 😂 #bachelor au #my writing #ask #anonymous

[thekatebridgerton]

Philoise Problem child/ bachelorette au where Phillip is a reality tv bachelor with two kids hell bent on getting rid of all the contestants by whatever pranks necessary. And Eloise is the one contestant who got tricked into participating by her crazy family.

Phillip of course is miserable trying to fend off the crazy fame obsessed contestants advances, while at the same time having to go on contractually mandatory dates with them and Eloise is doing whatever she can to get booted off the show. Only that for some reason Phillip's kids keep using their immunity vote to keep her in no matter what she does to intentionally ruin her chances at advancing to the next round of eliminations.

At one point Eloise realizes she has more in common with Phillip's vengeful eight yearolds than she ever did with the wannabe Mrs Cranes and strikes up a friendship with the only entertaining people in the entire reality show. Phillip of course clues in that now the twins have an inside agent of chaos among the contestants but no matter how much he tries to catch Eloise in the act of purposefully aiding his kids in the ruining of his mandatory reality tv dates, he can't seem to get enough evidence to call her out on it

Bonus if at one point there is a segment of a particularly annoying contestant getting chased by a vicious army of chickens that somehow got placed in her cabana only for the camera to pans away from the unfortunate contestant to do a closeup on the bachelorette house balcony where Oliver, Amanda and Eloise are wearing sunglasses and sharing popcorn among each other, while Eloise shares her favorite Bridgerton ™ tips for childhood revenge and mayhem

Just know that in this show:

Phillip is there to find love and a good role model for his kids

Eloise is there to have as much fun as possible trying to get kicked out ( because Colin wanted Penelope to himself and tricked her into thinking she was signing up for a 'save the polar bears' charity retreat.)

Oliver and Amanda? Well they're there to send prospective step mothers running

And the audience is obviously there to ship Philoise

Will Phillip ever find 'the one' ??

That September Night Masterlist

Unlucky in love, you go against everything you have ever believed, and signed up for The Bachelor.  You didn’t want to, but didn’t want to miss out on the experience.  You didn’t expect the bachelor to be the ridiculously handsome Nick Vaughan.  Didn’t expect an instant connection.  But you also weren’t prepared for the drama, the anger, the hate, the worry, the constant cameras, or Nick’s need to steal you away from the cameras any chance he could.

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5

A/N: this story will contain explicit moments, manipulation, bullying, gossiping, and paranoia surrounding cameras.

For Love or Sacrifice sneak peak

@helpless-in-sleep as promised, here is a sneak peak of your gift. The title is a WIP so that may change but it's what I'm going with right now.

Caroline peered around her room at the villa, the sounds of Aurora’s distraught cries as the final rose was handed to April still rang in her ear. Everyone had winced at the pitch that Aurora screamed at, alternating between tears and threats of violence. It was little surprise to Caroline, and everyone, that Aurora had been the first to go, especially since she made it very clear that she had a history with Klaus; a history Klaus clearly did not want to repeat. 

“I suppose we all have ex’s we wish we didn’t.” Caroline muttered as she flopped down on the uncomfortable bed, dreading the fact that she was here at all. She hadn’t wanted to be on television again but Stephen had been so adamant about her “getting back in the spotlight” and that this was “her chance”. It was moments like that, burning under pressure to be a star by both Stephen and her father that she wondered what her mother would have done if she had been alive to raise Caroline. “At least I’m not Elena.”

That had come as a surprise. Seeing two versions of the same person, one human and the other vampire standing in the same room was possibly the first supernatural twist of the show. Caroline had to admit that it might have been nice for them to give Elena a warning beforehand but that authentic reaction was what the show was going for. Elena all but fell into a panic and it did not help matters that Katherine was clearly enjoying the sight. She clearly knew that she was…whatever they were called.

Imagine finding out your some freaky magical recurrence on national television. Caroline thought as she peered up at the wooded ceiling, watching the beams tail across it. She closed her eyes and tried to focus on her breathing as she tried to push the thoughts of everything from Elena to the show to Klaus out of her mind. She couldn’t deny that he was attractive with his dimples and tousled blonde curls. The way his blue eyes trailed over her or the spark in them when she all but insulted him. He was alluring but she could feel the dangerous current that ran under his skin. Vampires were predators. It was terrifying that the world seemed to have forgotten that. 

“I don’t like this, Gorgeous.” Enzo had whispered to her during the going away party that was thrown in her honor. The pair watched as Stephen moved around the house as though he was the pageant queen. “Klaus Mikaelson is dangerous. He may have calmed down in order to avoid causing a scene in the media but I have a bad feeling about him on a dating show.” 

“Well, hopefully he will just not give me a rose.” 

Thinking back, Caroline realized just how naive that thought had been. Watching as Aurora screamed in despair that she did not receive a rose, there was a small hint of disappointment that it wasn’t her. There was something about Klaus that made Caroline’s hair stand on end but it wasn’t exactly fear. He most certainly could harm her but she got the sense that he wouldn’t, simply because he shouldn’t, at least not on television. The question she had was what happened after and if she survived this at all.

A sharp knock on her door pulled Caroline from her thoughts. She sat up on the bed and inwardly groaned. Pressing the soles of her feet to the cold floor, she made her way towards the door, wondering what exactly they could want from her now that the cameras were done rolling. However, she was surprised to find that it wasn’t a producer or some assistant on the other side. She was met with doe-eyes, curly brown hair and a smirk that caused the desire to flee in the opposite direction to kick in. 

“Katherine?” Caroline asked, knowing exactly who she was looking at despite her being identical to Elena.  She watched as Katherine’s smirk got wider, impressed that she was able to tell her apart from Elena. Without asking, Katherine pushed past Caroline and made her way into the bedroom, looking around with a look of disgust on her face. If this had been Caroline’s home, she might have been insulted by the expression, but she had to admit, for a vampire who had been alive since the dawn of time, Klaus could have convinced the network to provide better accommodations. “Yes. Come on in. Glad you asked so nicely.” 

“This isn’t your home so no invitation is needed.” Katherine replied, sitting down on Caroline’s bed and crossing her legs in a seductive manner. She leaned back and peered down at her perfectly manicured nails as she rested on her elbow. After a second, Katherine looked back up and peered into Caroline’s eyes. “Close the door.” 

“I’m on vervain. You can’t compel me. The door stays open.” Before Caroline was done speaking, Katherine flashed from the bed and slammed the door, pinning Caroline to the back of it. Her hand was around Caroline’s neck, the nails she had just been examining digging into her skin. Caroline wrapped her hands around Katherine’s wrists, trying to pull her hand away from her neck but Caroline was human; she did not have the strength to do it and Katherine’s hands were tight enough that screaming was impossible. 

“Listen up cupcake. I spent the better part of five hundred years fleeing from Klaus. Hell, I killed myself to avoid being used as a sacrifice and I’m most certainly not going to be used as his special vampire. Seeing that he nixed the only other vampire on this show, I’m going to have to make a replacement. A ready-made vampire on a silver platter for him.”

“What?” Caroline coughed out, finding it hard to speak as Katherine lifted her a little bit higher so her feet handled just above the ground. “I don’t understand.”

“I know. But since April and Camille are still consoling a crying Elena, you’re my only option.” Black veins appeared beneath Katherine’s eyes and fangs protruded from her gums. She brought her own wrist up to her lips and bit down, blood coating her pale white skin. She pressed the bleeding wound to Caroline’s lips, forcing the blood into her mouth. Katherine’s grip loosened just enough for the blood to coat the back of her throat.  

With a sharp crack, the world went black.

If I Take You Home

Hey, people! Are you ready for a SamBucky Bachelor AU? Because I made one for the @starspangledbigbang! 😆 The art is by the magnificent @onesmolangel ❤️ I just keep staring at it, I love it so much. Thank you so much for creating such an amazing banner 🥺 The title of the fic is from the song "If I Take You Home" by Lisa Lisa. I hope you all enjoy this tale about Bachelor!Sam Wilson falling in love with his cameraman 🥰

If I Take You Home

| Pairing: SamBucky | Rating: M | Chapters: 3/3 | WC: 18.8K |

Summary: This season on If I Take You Home… There will be fun in the Big Easy as six men and women find themselves in paradise and face a stunning twist that will rock them all to their core. One… involving a cameraman on the crew. Tune in to see who Captain America will choose as his future fiancé on… If I Take You Home!

Excerpt:

“Sorry. I’m a little all over the place. I can make speeches to crowds. But these cameras? Meeting with people one on one? I’m not even sure how I’m going to deal with confessionals. I. Um. I didn’t think this through.” Bucky rubbed Sam’s arm. It was… it was really nice, actually. “You’re Captain America, Sam. You’ve got this,” said Bucky with a kind smile, “And if you get nervous, just… Imagine me in my underwear.” Sam let out a surprised laugh, imagining everyone completely dressed beside Bucky. “Very unprofessional,” tutted Sam playfully. “Sometimes, people are in their underwear on this set. You can’t avoid it,” said Bucky as he giggled along with Sam, “If it helps, I believe in you. I’ve – I’ve seen a lot of people come on this set, and if anyone could find love… it’s you. I just know it.” Sam couldn’t stop smiling at that comment.

I wrote a Bachelorette AU for Prongsfoot/Bambibelle!

Summary: Sirius and James are both cast as contestants on the Bachelorette. Although their stated goal was to woo Lily and capture her heart, they don’t quite manage it. They fall for each other instead.

Words: 14,944

Rated G, No Archive Warnings Apply, Alternating POV

Excerpt:

There were only a few gentlemen present so far. Most of them were preening for the cameras, not talking to anyone but just trying to appear as appealing as they could to win screentime.

Two seemed to be jostling for the attention of one camera in particular, and Sirius had to bite back a laugh.

Only one of the young men had a remotely genuine expression on his face. The smile that crossed his face at the sight of Sirius was nothing short of charming, and lit the room up. To hell with the preening, what could it hurt to go over and say hi? Sirius didn’t need to make himself seem sexier, he already had that in the bag.

As he walked towards that smile, he took in the rest of the man. He had wild, disorganized wavy black hair. Sirius would never let his own hair get that chaotic, but somehow it worked. He had on large round glasses that emphasized his eyes, in a way that was entirely flattering. It was a good look on him. He was also wearing the requisite suit, and it was tailored immaculately to his frame, emphasizing that underneath a sculpted athletic body must be hiding.

Sirius wondered if there was a pool and they’d ever be in bathing suits. He was curious what was hiding underneath, so sue him.

As he got closer, the man’s deep brown eyes twinkled in the lights.

“I’m Sirius,” Sirius said without preamble when he’d come to a stop, “Sirius Black.”

“James,” the man - James - said with a grin, “James Potter.”

Hi! I’m looking for a fic in which James is a contestant on a reality dating show and Lily is a producer on the show? It’s multi chapter and I think has a lot of sexual tension... it’s NOT the Bachelor fic from ghostofbambi. Thanks!

Do you guys know this one?

Updated 11.8.22!

Title: Eligible Author: elanev91 Rating: M Genre(s): Angst, Romance, Smut Chapters: 45 Word Count: 177,986 Summary: Lily Evans, television producer with uTV, is moving into her second series with Eligible, the UK's newest dating show. After a strong (and morally questionable) first series on her part, she's been given the chance to work with this year's bachelor, James Potter. James, now retired from football, is ready to shake himself out of his post-injury funk and take a chance on love -- unfortunately for James and Lily, these things hardly ever go as planned.

Recently I read your bachelor au fic and had the time of my LIFE. i have never seen an episode of the bachelor but this was so much fun. the PINING, the OBLIVIOUSNESS, the DRAMA, fuck like not only was obi-wan volunteered he then MADE SURE to propose in the most dramatic way possible and i love him. thank you for writing it!!

honestly omg this ask is amazing because my goal was to write a bachelor au that could be understood and appreciated without watching the bachelor so this is so nice to read!!

obi-wan is literally the most dramatic bitch here---on one hand you could say, well, maybe the cameras could pick his words up and betray him and ruin his contract before the drama value equaled out, but c'mon. this obi-wan sort of lives for the drama and i respect the hell out of him for that, even if anakin is absolutely suffering during like. the entire last two weeks at least.

Omg! Bachelor series! *bounces in chair*

No promises! But I've been seriously uninspired to write anything lately and I figured maybe jumping back into a series I feel comfortable with might help? (Also Bachelorette starts up in a month and I am both very excited and already mentally exhausted by the idea)

The plan is to make a series of vignettes covering things post-series. I've had about 5 sentences written for like... a year lol. Just sitting there. Now I have about 1500 words. So hopefully!

hi! I love your stories and i don’t know if you take like ideas but a bachelor Anthony where Kate is his like advisor but they end up falling in love

Hi! Thanks so much.

I do sometimes take ideas haha! Unfortunately I don’t think I’d ever write a Bachelor AU or any reality tv AU, because I just don’t watch reality tv so I’m not familiar with that world. But if it’s a Bachelor AU you’re looking for, let me point you to a Bachelor AU that @amalinwrites wrote!! It’s also nearly complete bc Kara is a rockstar. Here’s the link!!

Posting this preview in an attempt to peer pressure myself to finish chapter one of my Celebrity Bachelor Dorym AU.

Feel free to make fun of me until it's up.

From what Orym understood, he was a little bit of a recluse.

Orym was surprised to hear that, but mostly because in his experience people who came on dating reality shows would do almost anything for attention. It was also difficult to reconcile the fresh faced pre-teen he remembered from the occasional episode of “Inside the Silken Squall” back when it had been the weeknight TV show for teens. Dorian probably wasn’t much younger than Orym in hindsight, but he had been about ten or eleven when the show launched. Cyrus Storm was the one whose picture had been inside lockers and whose face had adorned billboards and was always the one Orym thought of as being the ‘hot one’ between the two.

Dorian, by contrast, had been cast as the younger brother (the fact that the two were brothers in real life was a major promotional point for the show). In hindsight, it had probably been a very awkward age for the boy to be broadcast into millions of living rooms every day. He had gone from a very small boy to a gangly teenager over the five years the show was on air. While Cyrus played the heir apparent whose storylines revolved around growing up and finding his place in the world.

Orym remembered Dorian’s character as a little bit of a brat who existed primarily to unintentionally foil his brother’s plans, have periodic emotional conversations with Cyrus, and to occasionally be targeted for some kind of mistreatment in order to establish another character as being particularly violent or cruel. It was hard now for Orym to reconcile the mental image he had of a sassy preteen with the perfectly airbrushed man in his mid-20s in the headshot that they had pinned to a bulletin board behind him.
