1946 Agent Carter series 1
The first MCU TV show to be IAC'd!
The Marvel one shot is incorporated to this first series as part of the story. Then the actual 1st season of Agent Carter follows.
The SSR investigation into Zodiac from one shot is abandoned at request from higher ups. They say that as the evidence was uncovered whilst investigating Hydra, and Hydra is no more, it will lead to a dead end and is, therefore, a waste of time.
Howard was a high ranking member of the SSR during WWII but after failing to get government backing for the foundation of S.H.I.E.L.D. (as he promised in the Agent Carter movie and the actual Marvel one-shot), he was not allowed back in the SSR, Peggy had to ask for her job back and was transferred to a new office. The Howling Commandos, The Human Torch and the Falsworth children are all in limbo between S.H.I.E.L.D. not happening and the SSR blackballing them.
Make references to how Agent Flynn was not complimentary (says Dooley), how hard it has been to start over again after Flynn's discrimination and her success in the one-shot seems forgotten (says Peggy). She's angry at Howard for not following through and leaving her humiliated in having to ask for her job back. Howard is adamant that it should have worked out and he can't understand why whoever it is changed their mind.
Also, we replace Rose Roberts with Marlene Frazier, played by Taraji P. Henson (sorry Lesley Boone!). She will be important for Blue Marvel later on.
The scene between Dr Faustus and Arnim Zola could show them pooling their knowledge of mind control to devise Hydra's new brainwashing techniques.
No other changes.
Faustus: Stay, Mephistopheles, and tell me, what good will my soul do thy lord? Mephistopheles: Enlarge his kingdom. Faustus: Is that the reason he tempts us thus? Mephistopheles: Solamen miseris socios habuisse doloris. (It is a comfort to the wretched to have companions in misery.)
Christopher Marlowe, Dr Faustus

“But think'st thou heaven is such a glorious thing? I tell thee, Faustus, it is not half so fair As thou”
[13,000 scholars yelling ‘GAAAAAY’ in the distance]
Think'st thou that I, who saw the face of God, And tasted the eternal joys of heaven, Am not tormented with ten thousand hells In being deprived of everlasting bliss!
Christopher Marlowe, Dr Faustus (via wholesomeobsessive)
Hell hath no limits, nor is circumscribed In one self place, for where we are is hell, And where hell is must we ever be. And, to conclude, when all the world dissolves, And every creature shall be purified, All places shall be hell that is not heaven.

Till swollen with cunning, of a self-conceit, His waxen wings did mount above his reach, And, melting, heavens conspired his overthrow

Oh, I’ll leap up to my God. Who pulls me down?
The tragedy of Doctor Faustus, Christopher Marlowe (via wholesomeobsessive)
Was this the face that lancht a thousand shippes? And burnt the toplesse Towres of Ilium? Sweete Helen, make me immortall with a kisse: Her lips suckes forth my soule, see where it flies: Come Helen, come giue mee my soule againe. Here wil I dwel, for heauen be in these lips, And all is drosse that is not Helena. I wil be Paris, and for loue of thee, Insteede of Troy shal Wertenberge be sackt, And I wil combate with weake Menelaus, And weare thy colours on my plumed Crest: Yea I wil wound Achillis in the heele, And then returne to Helen for a kisse. O thou art fairer then the euening aire, Clad in the beauty of a thousand starres, Brighter art thou then flaming Iupiter, when he appeard to haplesse Semele, More louely then the monarke of the skie In wanton Arethusaes azurde armes, And none but thou shalt be my paramour.

Within the bowels of these elements, Where we are tortur’d and remain for ever: Hell hath no limits, nor is circumscrib’d In one self place; for where we are is hell, And where hell is, there must we ever be: And, to conclude, when all the world dissolves, And every creature shall be purified, All places shall be hell that are not heaven.

Dr Faustus and Mephistopheles
The magickian Dr. Faustus safe inside his magick circle from the demon Mephistopheles as he makes his pact.
Sample of a WIP of mine, featuring two more OCs, Faustus and Mephistopheles! A little interpretation of one of my favorite bits of folklore. More under the read more!
Mephisto is a duke of hell and a greed demon dealing in wagers and bets, who also has some control over positive probability (aka luck powers). He’s rather flamboyant and showy, though any truly stereotypical behavior is entirely fake and meant to fool people. He’s extremely intelligent and manipulative, and despite his more delicate appearance he’s a true noble demon and will vaporize you for messing with him. He loves coins, money, jewelry, fashion, and also adores Faustus, though he also adores teasing the man. He runs the Lucky Sevens casino along with his bff Cain. Unless you’re Faustus calling him Mephi could end your life <3
Dr. Johann Faust was once human, but contracted his soul to Mephisto in return for a fifty year reign where he wreaked havoc on those who tried to control him for his incredible magic talents. He became a demon eternally sentenced to serve Mephisto, which actually is a pretty sweet deal in his case since they ended up infatuated with one another. He’s an arrogant but polite pride demon, and he is always hard at work in his lab. Every host he possesses ends up with purple eyes for some reason, and he uses the name Faustus as his demonic name. (More based on the historical figure than the plays, aside from his deal with Meph.) He was inspired by some of the works based on him to summon a poodle familiar. Mephisto is a romance route option for my original universe, Hellbent, though Faustus technically comes along with him so it’s more the poly route.
