The Wattys Stories

A semi-enemy to lover story. Grayson Loveless has spent most of her life overshadowed by cruel whispers, fake friends, and a town that never really saw her-especially not him. Alexander Swain: tall, talented, and tragically loyal to the wrong girl. For years, Gray watched him fall for Brittney Cauldwel, Reno High's queen bee and resident heartbreaker, while she faded quietly into the background. But everything changes senior year. When Brittney vanishes from school without warning, rumors swirl and the social hierarchy begins to crumble. As winter break begins, Gray finds herself sharing unexpected moments with Alex-at bonfires, in late-night games, and beneath the starlit Nevada sky. What starts as cautious flirtation blooms into something real, something risky... something Brittney never would have allowed. Told with raw emotion, sharp humor, and aching vulnerability, Kiss It All Better is a deeply personal story of healing, falling in love, and reclaiming your own voice. Inspired by the haunting lyrics of "Kiss It All Better" by He Is We, this is the first in a series of song-based stories that explore the beauty and heartbreak hidden in the music that shapes us. Because sometimes, love doesn't fix everything- but it teaches you how to survive. *please feel free to comment I'm still editing*

Maithili and Romil were the ultimate academic rivals-Head Girl vs. Head Boy, constantly at each other's throats. She hustled her way to the top; he coasted on privilege. But when Maithili snags the #1 spot, Romil's bruised ego triggers one reckless move that shatters her dreams and sends their lives spinning in opposite directions. Seven years later, Maithili's stuck in a life she never wanted, and Romil's back, drowning in guilt and desperate to fix what he broke. But redemption isn't just about apologies-it's about proving he's changed and that their story isn't over yet. This isn't just a love story. It's about chasing dreams, building yourself up from nothing, and finding second chances in the unlikeliest of places. If you're into messy drama, ex-rivals-turned-lovers, and big emotional payoffs, this one's for you. **Disclaimer: This story explores mature themes, including domestic abuse and occasional intimate scenes.

(Sequel to Kung Fu Panda & Hedgehog) After their battle with Tai Lung and defeating him, Po and Sonic now live their dreams as the Dragon Warriors, enjoying their new and sweet lives and protecting the Valley of Peace alongside their fellow kung fu masters and friends, the Furious Five -- Tigress, Monkey, Viper, Crane, and Mantis -- although Master Shifu warns them that they have not yet achieved inner peace and completed the final Kung Fu technique. When a wolf army raids a village, Po, Sonic, and the Five intercept them, but a symbol on the leader's armor that resembles a red eye gives Po and Sonic a flashback of Po's mother and a mysterious female anthropomorphic owl, just like Sonic, which Sonic somehow feels like he knows the bird but doesn't know why. They also discover that Mr. Ping, a Chinese goose, is not their birth father; rather, they were only adopted by him. Suddenly, their new lives of awesomeness are threatened by the emergence of a formidable villain: The evil, power-hungry peacock, Lord Shen, who plans to use a secret, unstoppable weapon to conquer China and destroy Kung Fu. Now it's up to Po, Sonic, and the Furious Five as they must travel to Gongmen City and stop Shen and his weapon. But how can Po and Sonic stop a weapon that can stop Kung Fu? They will need to figure that out when they also rediscover and come to terms with their forgotten past, uncover the secrets of their mysterious origins, how they met each other, and learn that Shen was their enemy in their infancy; only then will they be able to unlock the strength they need to succeed.

Watty's 2025 Shortlist Samantha Bricks wanted a quiet life. After cutting ties with her controlling family and carving out a modest career as a schoolteacher, she thought peace was finally hers. But then the letters begin. Red. Handwritten. Obsessive. Always unsigned. Each note presses deeper under her skin, unraveling the fragile sense of safety she's worked so hard to rebuild. Then there's Holland St. Claire-a mute little girl in her class with haunted eyes and disturbing paintings. She doesn't speak. Barely even reacts. But Samantha sees her, understands her in a way no one else does. And when Holland's father begins showing up late and aloof, Samantha assumes the worst. Until she meets Julian St. Claire, and everything shifts. Their first encounter is sharp, electric-an intimacy that unsettles her. Julian offers her a job babysitting Holland. But soon, he wants more. Her time. Her body. Her focus. And his secrets run dark and deep.

And what he wants is Samantha. Suddenly, she's trapped between two powerful, complicated men: Julian, brooding and unreadable. Evander, dangerous in a way she can't quite name. But this isn't just a twisted romance. As the love notes grow more threatening and her ex's mysterious disappearance begins to resurface, Samantha realizes the truth is far darker than she ever imagined. This isn't about desire. It's about control. It's about survival. And someone is watching her every move.
