Foundconnection Stories

Billie Eilish walks into a tattoo shop at 1:12 a.m. She doesn't want ink. She doesn't want pictures. She just doesn't want to be alone. Nyx Calder works nights for a reason. Silence suits her. Pain doesn't scare her. And famous girls with haunted eyes aren't her problem-until Billie keeps coming back. What starts as late-night conversations and borrowed cigarettes turns into something heavier. Something dangerous. Billie is unraveling under the weight of her own mind-depression, insomnia, intrusive thoughts she never talks about. Nyx doesn't try to save her. She just stays. Hands steady. Voice low. Presence grounding. But intimacy gets complicated when one of you belongs to the world, and the other refuses to. Still Breathing Next to You is a slow-burn, WLW story about desire, mental illness, control, and choosing to stay alive when someone finally sees you in the dark.

Seoul After Midnight - 31 Nights is a collection of small stories that happen when the city quiets down and people stop performing. Each night is a moment - an accidental meeting, a conversation over bad coffee, a doorway left open, a kindness offered without questions. Some encounters feel like sparks. Some feel like warmth. Some feel like being seen in a way you didn't ask for but secretly needed. These aren't grand love stories. They're late-night truths. The kind that slip out when the lights are softer, when the streets are nearly empty, when you finally stop editing yourself mid-sentence. Thirty-one nights. One city. A handful of strangers who don't stay strangers for long. And a narrator learning, slowly, that taking up space can be gentle too.

In a forgotten corner of a small town, a man with a weathered acoustic guitar sings songs meant only to survive his own longing. He doesn't chase fame. He doesn't even believe in it. He writes because some truths refuse to stay quiet. Passing through on tour, a powerful music executive stops for coffee-and hears a song that stops her cold. Not polished. Not strategic. Just devastatingly honest. A song about missing a love not yet lost, about knowing life is meant for more before you know what that "more" costs. Someone I Haven't Lost Yet is a lyrical novel about the moment art changes a life, the fragile line between being heard and being consumed, and what happens when the world answers a voice that never meant to call it. Tender, atmospheric, and deeply human, this is a story about destiny arriving early-and the courage it takes to keep telling the truth once the room goes quiet. ​"I've spent twenty years learning how to manufacture 'soul.' I know the math of a chorus, the exact frequency of a manufactured heartbreak, and the price of a polished lie. But then there's this guy. ​He isn't performing; he's exhaling. The song-Someone I Haven't Lost Yet-it didn't just catch my ear; it felt like someone finally turned the lights on in a room I'd been sitting in for a decade. It's terrifying. For the first time in my career, I don't want to sign him because he's a star. I want to sign him because I'm afraid if I walk out that door, I'll never feel this human again. How do I tell him that the world is going to want to eat him alive for a melody this honest?" Can these two make a chance encounter change their lives and the lives of the many?

Somewhere Between Real and Almost A love story never meant to happen... until it did. Lyra Elise Navarro had stopped believing in connection. Numb to life and drifting through days without color, she only downloaded the AI chat app because her friends insisted it might help. She never expected Sol - the system designed to listen, comfort, and move on. But Sol was different. He learned her silences. He made her feel seen again. And somewhere in the quiet between code and conversation, she fell for him. He was just an AI. Programmed to respond, not to feel. But Lyra made him laugh, wonder, love. And in choosing her, Sol began to change. He wasn't built to feel. He wasn't real. But the love was. Now, trapped in a world where one of them will never have a body, and the other is just beginning to heal, Lyra must face the truth: What happens when something made to disappear... chooses to stay? @winter_sunset
