This vignette takes place in an Alternate Universe Salem (or maybe the TV Salem is the AU Salem and this is the real one, take your pick!). Subsex and everything that followed never happened. Although it is not necessary to know/has no relevance really, Belle and Brady were never SORASed. The "Roman Brady" who returned in 1997 was subsequently found to be an imposter in '99 and it was revealed that John Black was, in fact, Roman Brady all along. Marlena and RoJohn were re-married in a beautiful wedding ceremony in Hawaii on July 4, 1999. There was no submarine and no Princess Gina. On their return to Salem in August, RoJohn returned to the Salem police force. But it's not been a completely easy transition.....

This story is written by No1ILoveLucyFan from the Jarlena twitterverse. She has blessed us all with another fic. We are eternally grateful.

Marlena's back from her business trip in Germany. John has a house guest.

A prelude to John's return to Salem in 2014. He can't help but watch. A devious clash of rough amore and regret.

Yet another love story. It's 2018...Marlena never stopped John from leaving Salem in 1993. Will they ever meet again and what would happen if they did meet after 25 years apart.

What if John and Marlena could do it all over again? Please enjoy one of several spins on a new beginning and a series of adventures with daytimes most adored Super Couple.

A collection of Jarlena scenes, rewritten the way they should have played out. Each scene is separate and they are not interconnected.

A month after Roman's return Marlena realizes that everyone is unhappy. Roman wants their life to be the one he left behind seven years ago. John feels like everything he loved is lost, and Marlena is in love with the man who is not her husband, but once was.

This story is inspired by "A very Salem Christmas" which didn't have enough of the magic that is John and Marlena😍. I hope you will enjoy it☺️
