Summary
Let me tell you about Crawly. He says he wants to work with humans - he gets himself a job pissing about on earth, tempting and wiling and getting drunk and generally having a time of it, only filing reports every other century and spending half the time asleep. I want to work with humans - oh, I get to make deals. What that boils down to is a whole lifetime of being the genie-of-the-lamp for the Idiot Human Of The Week, and at the end of the day I’ve got one soul, one commendation and one massive grudge against lazy sods like Crawly. Or Crowley, as he’s calling himself now, the git.

Summary
“Nay, an this be hell, I'll willingly be damned here,” Faustus cries, his eyes fixed on Mephistophilis, and suddenly, for reasons he cannot immediately discern, Mephistophilis feels that, aye, so would he be willingly damned here if it means he can look upon that face a while longer, and perhaps twenty years and four will feel like an eternity caught in the gaze of those eyes.

Summary
Marguerite is carried off to Heaven, while Faust is left to the dubious care of his servant and master. This is based on both the Gounod and Berlioz Faust operas--it starts where the Gounod opera ends, but at the end I seem to have drifted into the Berlioz by directly quoting a translation of the most romantic line from Mephistopheles' aria "Voici des roses". WARNINGSAUCE because I would classify this as "dubious consent".
