MCU/AoS universe 'divide' question

[melsheartsthings]

Can one conceivably, for fanfic storytelling purposes, say that the MCU and AoS universes are one and the same? I mean we've got crossover characters and overarching plotlines that connect them so, to me, AoS slots far more nicely into the MCU than the X-Men films do (despite having two characters in common). So for me, I'm just going to assume the two universes in question are the same until i am proven otherwise.

Late to the game, but you know. Found you on a friending meme, and stopped by to see what you've got.

But even though I know AoS is meant to be part of the MCU, I have a really hard time seeing them as the same thing, for some reason. I see it more of a splinter universe. It's connected to the movies, but the movies aren't connected to it. There are just some weird inconsistencies that really bug me. But I'm also kind of far behind again, so maybe it's getting better? IDK.

Hi! Comments are always welcome! And new friends are fun!

Yeah, i like the idea of AoS being a splinter universe to the MCU, with the possible caveat that the movies could become connected, given a properly plotted and inconsistency fixing episode or two or three.
