These stories are all one-offs. They are not meant to tie together. These explore the divorce and post-divorce storylines.

I really don't know what will come of this, but I had an idea and had to get it down. Marlena and John have a chance meeting a decade after their affair.

During their last stormy night at Maison Blanche John and Marlena reconnect just before Stefano takes them to his private island in the Caribbean. When they arrive, John and Marlena are forcefully separated. Stefano has John reprogrammed, making him a cold, emotionless mercenary once again. Marlena is left feeling alone and defenseless, trying to fight off Stefano's advances, while also trying to find ways to remind the man she loves of how much he cares about her.

These are all stand alone stories. They do not go together in any way. Just a way to look at all of the ways that J/M could have gotten together, with a huge focus on them being "normal" people, doing "normal" things, especially as parents of younger children.

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

Coming back from Mexico, Marlena decided to move on with her life alone, leaving John confused and Roman angry. Just remember, sometimes you have to sin to find heaven.

It's late 2014 when John wakes from a coma believing it's still 2012, and that he and Marlena are still married and deeply in love. But in reality, they're divorced-broken by pain, time, and choices that can't be undone. Marlena tries to guard her heart. John only remembers how to love her. Going Home to Doc is a slow-burn, second-chance romance that asks: can soulmates ever truly let go? Notes about the use of canon in this universe: John & Marlena have been married since 1999 and that marriage was fully intact until 2012. There was no Princess Gina, no RoboJohn, no Alex North, no reasons for multiple separations and marriages over the years. Until 2012 their relationship was solid and the tests to their relationship always came from the outside but their relationship itself was upenetrable. 2012 changed everything.

Marlena Evans grapples with the sudden loss of her husband and the life she must live without him.

They must contend with feelings of longing and attraction, leading to an arrangement.

Marlena's life has been in a slow downward spiral ever since her husband Roman came back into her life six years ago. Struggling to be the perfect wife and the perfect mother is slowly killing her. Just when she felt like she was drowning a stranger walks into her life and changes everything.
