A/N: Pre-series. Written for the womenlovefest.

The first time Duke takes her out onto the ocean with the belly of the boat stuffed full of illicit goods, she feels it. They’re beyond borders and rules, beyond control. It’s freedom. Pure and undiluted---like nothing she’s ever felt before.

She kisses him under the stars and tastes the salty ocean spray on his lips.

“I want this,” she says, surprised by the greed in her voice. She’s been starving for this her entire life and she never even knew it.

“Are you really the bad girl type, Evi?” he asks, smiling at her like he thinks she’s just caught up in the moment, like the hunger will fade.

“I’m just like you.”

It’s simple and true, and she doesn’t know if it makes her bad, but it does make her happy.

“Huh,” there’s a hint of bemusement in his voice.

Evi kisses him again, pressing him against the railing, the cool air lifting her hair as Duke’s warm hands slide under her shirt.

She never looks back.

Ohhh, I really like this. My headcanon has always been that they met while on a smuggling job together and then got together, so the idea of Duke being the one to introduce Evi to her banditing ways isn't one I would have come up with myself but I'm digging it!

Thank you! I wish we had gotten more backstory on Duke/Evi. I want a flashback episode. ;)

I like the idea that she's always been like him and that it surprises him :) Plus your opening lines about boats and freedom made my heart ache for POTC1 Jack Sparrow <3

Thank you! <3 Duke/Evi is one of the first ships that I've responded to where the characters are very similar. I tend to fall for the opposites attract line of thinking, but I just love how their personalities complement each other.

Love this!

I can't wait to see what you come up with for the rest of the week. Also, I want her back.
