☾

She’d been born wrong, or maybe just born early—like the universe spat her out before it was finished making her, half-cooked and already on fire. There was no cradle. No lullaby. Just a crawlspace under a broken hab-dock on some unrecorded moon, and the stench of something dead rotting just out of reach. She didn’t cry when she was born, and she never really learned how to afterwards.

The first thing she learned was that names could be stolen. The second was that nobody gave a damn if you died in the dark. She took the first to heart and used it often. The second made her mean.

Blight—that’s what she calls herself now, though she’s had more aliases than years in her life—grew up like a wound nobody wanted to stitch. First as a boy (for safety), then as a ghost (for escape), then as something more dangerous than either. She ran with the gangs, then from them. Learned to smile like a trap and lie like she had religion. She cut her teeth on back-alley blood and backseat betrayals, and eventually, she got good at surviving. Too good. Good enough that no one trusted her, not even the women she held in the hours before dawn, sweaty and laughing, telling her they’d kill for her—never realizing that she would kill them first if the pay was right.

It was never about love. Love was for people who weren’t trying to forget what their own name sounded like.

She’s worked every angle the Fold had to offer. Smuggler. Gun-for-hire. Dropzone cleaner. Corporate cleaner. She’s flipped allegiances mid-fight, switched IDs so many times her fingers twitch when a scanner buzzes. She carries her past in scars and in silence, the way a priest carries the weight of God—guilty, and with a mean grin.

Her ship, Mercy, is the only thing that remembers everything. And even Mercy lies, sometimes.

But lately, there’s you.

The bounty came through encrypted, humming like a dare. High value. Alive only. Conditions that pissed her off before she even read your name. Because alive means careful. Alive means babysitting. Alive means not indulging her favorite kind of fun. But then she saw the holos. Read the incident files. Watched the flicker of your face on some rerouted distress feed. And it struck her—not just that you were dangerous in that quietly doomed way, not just that the price on your head could buy her a fleet of new vices—but that you were soft.

Not weak. Soft. The kind of soft that makes people stupid. That makes her stupid.

She hated it immediately.

So she took the job.

Now she circles you like a vulture in eyeliner. She flirts because it makes your mouth twitch. She threatens because it makes your spine straighten. You’re a riddle she doesn’t want to solve—she wants to burn it. Wants to see what your lips look like whispering her name in fear or in pleasure. Wants to know how many nights she can keep you breathing before she breaks her own rules.

Blight doesn’t care about fate, but if she did, she’d say you were hers. Not romantically. Not beautifully. But like a storm that just keeps showing up on her ship’s radar—worse each time. She tells herself she’s going to drop you off with your buyers and walk away. But there’s a part of her that’s been building a plan B. Just in case.

Because she’s starting to suspect that the galaxy doesn’t want her without you anymore.

And Blight has never liked being told what to do.

❝ God doesn’t exist, but her ego does, and that’s basically the same thing. ❞
