Summary: Edwin Jarvis arrives in America to start a new life, with a new wife, in New York, and attempts to find his footing with a very interesting new employer.
Author's notes: I was really interested in doing something about the first days of Jarvis working for Howard, and his adjustment period then. It's basically all headcanon, but I've tried to fold in what we know from the MCU. I've also tried very hard to keep it historically accurate, and canon to the MCU timeline, but that is a very fuzzy timeline, so I've tried to make as much sense of it as I could. I've set it in June 1941, as that seemed the most likely given events of that year both real and fictional.

When I started writing, there wasn't a Series Two for Agent Carter announced, and this very well may be AU'd into oblivion, but I'd written too much by that point, so I'm going with it.

Thanks as always to joonscribble for her headcanon thoughts and nattering with me.

Also apologies for my Hungarian. I did my best with an extremely complicated language.

Author's notes: This part is on the long side, but the other two are shorter, so it all balances out.

( Whoa, okay, I know I'm not the tidiest guy but throwing shoes at me is a bit harsh, Jarvis. )
