[COMPLETE] SOFT RESET
Book 3 of the "The Ones Who Were Watched" series

Soft Reset is not typical Wattpad love story.
It subverts typical Wattpad tropes - trading fantasy for grief, quiet longing, emotional restraint, and the slow work of healing after trauma.

Elisse and Milo are not perfect.
They're messy. Flawed. Complicated.
But true. Raw. Damaged but trying.

This isn't a story about being chosen.
It's about the pain of not being ready for love when it mattered the most and the cost of realizing it too late.All Rights Reserved

Her Sweet Escape by dimenaG

Cyd Solarez, an Architect under a well-known company, had to do anything to avoid Rogue, her childhood best friend-slash-sweetheart, when they met again after he cheated on her years ago. It was a simple plan. To stay away from the man who made her question herself including her worth even after making her feel the happiest woman alive. To never talk to him again because memories from the past will only make her suffer more. It will just haunt her. She was very sure of that. "This is Harry, my boyfriend," she lied when her plan to escape from her past did not work at first. She was aware that it would just complicate things, but she was too desperate. Too desperate to even use her boss and make him pretend as her lover. It was an impulsive move, but she really wanted to run away. When she realized that her decision was wrong, it was already too late. How can she evade having feelings for the second time around when he could make her heart skip a beat every single time his eyes darted at her? How can she not notice the heat flowing through her veins because of his delicate yet dangerous touches and aggressive kisses that slowly melted the walls she built for herself? But what will happen when her only escape locks her up again with pain and regret?

Calibrated Distance by shechoseherself

[COMPLETE] CALIBRATED DISTANCE Book 1 of "The Ones Who Were Watched" series Calibrated Distance isn't a love story dressed up as dystopia. It's a surveillance log of the unseen. A memory file buried in silence. A slow, aching trace of what it means to be watched... and still choose to feel. Mira and Gael aren't chasing fate. They're carrying ghosts. They glitch through memory, speak in half-truths, and love like it's a crime - quiet, calculated, and devastatingly human. This isn't about enemies-to-lovers. There are no cliché rescues. No loud confessions or perfect endings. Just two people tethered by the data that tried to erase them... and the one decision that rewrote their future: To remember. Calibrated Distance rewires the trope: No hero. No happily-ever-after. Just resilience in the face of erasure. Grief that doesn't ask for permission. And love that survives even the worst kind of surveillance - the one we do to ourselves. This isn't about being seen. It's about seeing yourself again - after the system said you shouldn't exist.
