[2024 WATTY WINNER][18+] 

Two best friends. Six weeks. One final shot at love.

Since college, Maisie and August have been best friends-frustratingly, perfectly platonic best friends. For nine long years, Maisie has secretly harbored the hope that their relationship could be something more.

In that time, Maisie Rhodes has skyrocketed to stardom as a pop sensation, earning the title of Pop Princess from her devoted Rhodie fans. When she hints on The Tonight Show that her love songs are inspired by someone close to her, speculation runs wild. To throw everyone off the scent-and protect her true feelings for August-Maisie's manager hatches a plan: fake a relationship with her best friend.

Miraculously, August agrees. Now Maisie faces six weeks of pretending to date the one person she's always loved, all while tiptoeing around the unspoken truth that's lingered between them for years.

If I Stay {Fillie} by filliecheesesticks

Finn Wolfhard and Millie Bobby Brown couldn't be more different: Finn is a world famous musician, with millions of fans who adore him, more money than he could spend in a lifetime, and all the girls he could ever want; Millie, on the other hand, is perfectly normal-just a regular teenage girl trying to help her family get by while counting on her friends to keep her upright. When the two meet by chance and get into a rough situation together, Millie is forced to leave everything she loves behind. Over time, the rigid walls surrounding them both begin to fall, and Finn finds himself capable of loving another person for the first time in years. However, falling in love has a price. Finn doesn't think the world is worth living in if Millie is not there beside him, but her time is limited. And it's running out with every passing day. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PG-13 Completed! I live in the United States and English is my first language.

OFFSCRIPT by MerariBentil

Enemies on camera. Lovers off script. But what if the feelings were never fake? Lily Carson talks too much. Forgets everything. Laughs too loud. She wasn't supposed to get cast in a celebrity reality show - she tripped into it, literally. And now she's stuck sharing a room with the coldest, rudest, most infuriatingly hot celebrity she's ever met. Judah White is famous, rich, emotionally unavailable, and very good at pretending not to care. Especially when cameras are rolling. Especially when Lily's involved. They're opposites in every possible way. He calls her a menace. She calls him a vampire with a god complex. But forced proximity has a funny way of making walls crumble. One photoshoot. One confession. One kiss they weren't supposed to mean. Now the internet ships them. The world watches them. And the lines between fake dating and very real feelings are blurring too fast to fix. Because falling in love on camera is risky. But falling for your enemy off script? That's the real danger. ---

Don't Forget Me by jordanrmax

Lux thought she knew exactly how this cruise would go: two weeks of awkward family dinners, no cell service, and way too much time to overthink the silence from the boy who stopped choosing her. She planned to keep her head down, her heart guarded, and her nose buried in a book. Then Colt stole it-and tossed it into the ocean with a smirk that would ruin everything. He's infuriating. Impossible. Completely unexpected. And exactly what she needed. From midnight conversations and stolen tequila to the kind of kisses that leave her breathless, Colt slowly becomes the person Lux didn't know she was waiting for. And maybe it's only supposed to last two weeks-but it's starting to feel like more. Because some people don't just pass through your life. Some people sink in. Stay. Change everything. And maybe, if she's brave enough, this cruise won't be where it ends. Maybe... it's just where it begins. - still being edited - - started 7.10.23- -finished 5.30.25- -Tropes: Forced close proximity Summer fling/romance Love at first sight
