Showmance: a romance/relationship that is started during the production of a play or musical. Very common in, but not limited to, high school shows.

Len (short for Lennon) and Eric meet under interesting circumstances. She has just been roped into being her friend's &quot;Girl Friday&quot; (AKA assistant stage manager) and he was somehow convinced by his twin, Sophie, to do the sound design for their high school's production of Beauty and the Beast.

United by their inability to understand musicals, the two help each other navigate the politics of the tech crew, which cast members to avoid, and the rules of showmances. 

Although neither had ever heard of the word, they learn it's just part of the package when they find themselves in one. And just because the show is obviously going to be a failure, does their relationship have to be?

If you had nothing to lose... •••••••••• "Yes Ally?" she heard him husk in her ear suddenly. She stiffened before forcing herself to relax and turn to face her best friend. "I didn't call you over here," she told him calmly. "I know but you were staring so hard I figured you needed something," he told her with his infuriating smirk. She smiled sweetly in return, "Now, what could I possibly want from you?" His eyes roamed over her face for a minute before his arm shot out and wrapped around her waist. She let out a surprised gasp as she suddenly found herself pressed up against him. She shivered involuntarily as she felt his breath fan her face and stiffened again as she realized how close his face was to her own. •••••••• A story about a group of friends going after the boys they've been secretly in love with for all of high school.

The Unbreakable Thread Of LOVE by KNH1111111

What is Love? Is it merely a fleeting emotion, or could True Love truly last forever? What of the elusive Thread of Love-is it strong enough to endure the trials of time, or can it snap under the weight of despair? And what of love at first sight?

They encounter each other during a practice-a practice that seems mundane at first but holds the potential for something extraordinary. What kind of practice, you ask?

Trust me, you'll come to understand her pain-and perhaps, you'll find that in the depths of their shared experiences, they may forge an unbreakable bond that even the harshest trials cannot sever.

Deeper Healing by island_rose

"As I passionately kiss your lips and breathe all of you in, release your pain to me; let me inhale it and let my soothing touch heal your broken soul. -------- What starts as soft glares and innocent forehead kisses turns into something more carnal, deeper and wickedly tempting to explore. She isn't looking for true love, a concept she has given up on searching for. What her soul burns for is a man's touch to set her body ablaze and consume her completely in a whirlwind of intense pleasure and ecstasy. He desires a vibrant woman to do all the wickedly sinful things burning in his mind to, one who can unleash the dominant beast in him and torture sensually with all the pleasure he has to offer. She seems to be all he's ever needed and maybe someone whose heart he can heal and stitch back in place piece by piece until it can beat hard in her chest again and say his name. But nothing ever comes on a silver platter, especially with loads of drama and misfortunes tailing each one of them from sources closer than they could ever imagine. ⚠︎Warning: This story contains explicit sexual content, mentions of sexual assault, mild language, drama and is a slowburn

Lucky in Love (A Reality TV Romance) by x-amount-verbs

Alex has a crap record with relationships. When her friends nominate her for a dating show, she's got nothing to lose, right? So what if her particular brand of weird is exactly the sort of thing that makes for good TV? She's just going to be herself - her maybe too physical and highly outspoken and shockingly honest self. Jonas didn't try to get into reality TV, and he's only in it for the paycheck. If girls want to subject themselves to the humiliation of being filmed 24 hours a day in their search for love, it's not his business to stop them, just point the camera. But Alex is different. He doesn't get why she's here, he doesn't get why she's talking to him, and he really doesn't like that his ex-boyfriend has jokingly granted him "protector rights" over a girl who's just an ex of an old enemy. She deserves a hell of a lot better than she's getting, and Jonas doesn't appreciate catching morals. Or feelings. - A bi4bi m/f reality tv romance with a twist! Started as fic of a fic, but bears little to no resemblance to canon aside from names. So have fun if you knew the original thing, or just enjoy the original setting and new characters!
