Starfall | Boothill x F!

"The most dangerous man in all of the cosmos. The one they said couldn't be caught. The one who evaded the IPC for years, slipping through their fingers every time. You were a ghost, a myth... How did you get caught?"

"I fell in love."

Boothill, a legendary Galaxy Ranger with a body of steel and a bounty higher than the stars, has dedicated his life to bringing down the IPC; the shadowy regime responsible for annihilating his home planet, Aeragan-Epharshel. Fueled by grief and revenge, Boothill roams the galaxy wreaking havoc on IPC strongholds, leaving chaos in his wake. But on a routine stop for personal pleasure at a dive bar on Penacony, his mission takes an unexpected turn when he crosses paths with Soren, an IPC worker who doesn't seem to fit the corporate mold, nor does she seem to recognise him.

Soren is no stranger to complicated lives. Independent, calm, and guarded, she's managed to stay under the radar of the IPC's darker dealings. But when a chance encounter with a mysterious, metal-cowboy turns into a slow-burning connection, Soren finds herself drawn into a galaxy-wide game of cat and mouse.

What begins as a seemingly harmless flirtation turns dangerous when Boothill discovers her IPC ties, sparking suspicion and mistrust. Yet, despite Soren's unshakable loyalty to her moral compass, her own painful history with the IPC might make her the unexpected ally Boothill needs.
