You Can't Choose Who You Fall In Love With (oh wait, I guess you can) by writingonpostcards

Summary
A dating show AU that was meant to be fluff but then wasn't.
"I came on this show because my mother has always wanted to see me fall in love and get married. Her and dad have this really great relationship you know, and she wants that for me. But things just haven’t been working the normal way I guess." Stiles shrugs like he’s making light of the situation, but Derek senses there’s more to the story.
There is. But Derek’s got more than one reason for doing this show as well.

Summary
Letting out a long sigh, Derek turns away and braces himself for the next hellish filming segment. After all, apparently he’s going to have to smile while greeting twenty-five contestants. Shit, what if they try to hug him? Or, god forbid, kiss –
He doesn’t get any further with that thought, because a limo pulls into the driveway. He braces himself for the worst. The worst, who… actually doesn’t look that horrifying.
“I’ve been dying to meet you!” she exclaims as she catches sight of him.
Then, she flings herself at him and ensnares him in a bone-crushing hug.
Scratch that – she’s completely horrifying. And Derek’s pretty sure he can hear errand boy what’s-his-face laughing in the distance.
(Or: In which Derek gets roped into being the 'eligible bachelor' on a dating show and instead falls for one of the show's interns.)

Summary
It had been a night for the books. But as the people just kept coming, like circus folk out of a clown vehicle or something, Dean could feel his charm simmering down. It was getting harder and harder to turn it off and on in between takes, and he was beginning to curse ever agreeing to this arrangement. He could have been back in his apartment drinking beer and watching some other sucker from his season managing twenty seven singles.
Dean is the Bachelor. But it's turning out to be a lot less making out with beautiful people and a lot more about managing the drama that occurs in the mansion. In between fights, love declarations, and all the high intensity situations that go hand in hand with reality television he meets Cas. Cas isn't a typical contestant. But Dean can't decide if that's a good or a bad thing. Dean also couldn't tell you why he keeps giving the dorky man roses.

Summary
Dating show funtimes! Written for The Eagle Exchange. I pinched the idea from this prompt on the eagle kink: “One night Esca gets incredibly drunk with his friends and decides to nominate himself for a spot on a horrible reality TV dating show. The last thing he expected was to actually get on the show, or to fall in love with the same guy that everyone else is fighting for, Marcus Aquila”; but with plenty or reference to freckles and Marcus’ big hands, plus the other requests.

That seemed like something the pair of them would do - but he was certainly not expecting them to tell him they had signed him up for a dating game show.

Then we have Keith, who was only meant to be a stand-in, to get voted off super early in the show, but there was this one guy he butted heads with all time and the audience liked them? What kind of twisted reality show was this?
Well, turns out that Altea's Juniberries brings people together, no matter if they win an all paid for, expense-free wedding.

Summary
“Nervous?” the guy asked. Yup, that was Jason. “You’re trying to stare in a hole in the wall, which usually happens when you have a lot on your mind, and you tend to overthink when you’re nervous.”
Relaxing a little, Nico offered Jason a grimace. No reason to play nice. “Hazel signed me up for this, not me. I don’t want to go on a date with a random guy at Olive Garden, and I don’t like being on stage with many people watching me — I didn’t become a writer to entertain a crowd by being unlikable and awkward. I leave that to Percy. He is good with crowds, and they eat him up.”
“You can use this as experience for writing,” Jason offered. “I recalled that you said you were struggling with the romantic scenes, so maybe this will help with fleshing out the feelings of the characters. Plus, it’s for charity.”
Nico is forced to join a dating show to support the local charities. The experience turns out to be way better than expected (and hey! Now he has a boyfriend).

Summary
Hajime doesn’t understand the hype over dating shows. As a camera operator, he’s sick of filming them. It only gets worse when Oikawa decides to be one of the contestants in search of true love.
There's no way he could've mixed up Oikawa's visit dates, and there is absolutely no fucking way Oikawa is about to join a dating show that Hajime has to film. Because that would be ridiculous. That would mean that Hajime would be jobless. He'd quit before he had to spend two months recording Oikawa making out with strangers for the entire world to see. No way could this be actually happening to him right now.

Summary
In a world where the numbers of alphas and omegas get lower every year the American government requires every alpha and omega citizen to have at least one child at the age of twenty-five. Several dating shows started following the search of attractive, young candidates for the right partner in a rather small dating pool. But some people are either unable or unwilling to bear children at a young age which led to the popular “fine wine”-edition of Mating island for candidates of thirty and upwards.
Hannibal Lecter is the most fought-over Bachelor on the island but would really appreciate going back to his hobby of murdering and eating people instead of having to father a child. Will Graham neither appreciates the lime light, nor wants to give his job in the FBI up to bear and raise a child. Will they find true love? (Answer: yes but with a lot of Cannibal jokes and murders in between)
“What would you wish for in a future partner?”
Will just sighed. “I hope they like to cuddle, fit in with the pack, are obedient and like to play fetch.”
Freddie´s nervous twitch in her cheek started up again. “You´re describing a dog.”
“Yes a dog, I want my future partner to be a dog.”

Summary
Kim Seokjin loves acting. That's what they'll put in his obituary, probably, right after his family details, because that's the only thing that matters about him. That, and that he's gay, and that his temper snapped one time and ruined his entire career before it had a chance to be what he knows it could have become.
His last chance to prove himself comes in the form of a reality TV show, a Bachelor-style outing that will show he still has the softness to be a romantic lead. And it's embarrassing, and messy, and full of quirky guys and their weird habits and fame-seeking and secret agendas that he doesn't have the energy to deal with. But it's just a job, and Seokjin never turns down a chance when it's offered, and the biggest comfort of playing the starring role on Destined Hearts is that Seokjin knows his own heart will never be destined for anything but the screen.

Lexi watched in rapt attention as the latest in the string of blonde girls to exit the limo made her way over to the Bachelor, her heels wobbling on the cobblestone of the driveway. She appeared to be pulling out a small velvet box from some impossible pocket of her ridiculously tight dress. When she got down on one knee in front of the man and popped the box open to reveal a Ring Pop, Lexi understood: She was fake-proposing to him.
God, this show was cheesy.
(or, Cassie signs Lexi up as a contestant for the latest season of The Bachelor, starring fan-favorite Fezco. Pining, fluff, and angst ensue as the two navigate the most dramatic season of The Bachelor to date!)
