An AU rewrite of the Salem Strangler storyline. How would it play out if John Black came to Salem in 1982?

Can John and Marlena rediscover their love as they fight to save her soul?

John Black has had many injuries in his life. This one, however, threatens not just him, but those he loves as well.

A Days of Our Lives story about Marlena finally coming to terms with all that has happened to her in her life. She experiences PTSD and must be hospitalized for treatment. Everyone thinks she is well, but she has one last battle with her Fear that could cost her her life if John cannot reach her in time.

This is another one-shot but I am posting it in sections as I write it so keep checking back because I'll be updating it every few days! This story takes place in early 1997, mere days after John married Susan, masquerading as Kristen, in the delivery room as she gave birth to Elvis Jr., or John Jr., whichever you prefer. You might remember a rather delicious kiss that John and Marlena shared in Kristen's hospital room in the days following John Jr.'s arrival, while Kristen was trying to seduce her 'husband' into bed and Marlena was struggling with telling John the truth about his 'wife'. Well, that's where this short story starts. I think we all know where it's gonna end....

John left Salem in 1993, and two years later Stefano has drawn him back in, by kidnapping Marlena. John, Marlena, and Roman are pulled in as Pawn's in one last game plotted out by Stefano DiMera's diabolical mind. What happens when past lovers reconnect, and the real truth behind Stefano's hatred for the Brady's comes to light?

during the problems with Brady

Marlena comes back to Town for a celebration but she won't be there for long

A new twist on the time Stefano held Marlena captive in the catacombs of Paris...with a lot of changes. One thing remains the same, John is still determined to find her.

A rewrite of the affair...
