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.

A love story about our favorite couple John and Marlena. A story that includes history and dialogue from the show. I hope you will enjoy it and please comment it you feel like it so I can improve my writing in the future. It's my first time ever writing a fan fic, so bear with me. Also, English is not my first language... I'm danish so there might be some grammar faults and misspelling. Thanks

This story is set sometime in early 2000 after Hope and Stefano were rescued from Princess Gina's castle but before Hope gave birth to JT. This story sets out to set right the wrongs of subsex and investigates what might have happened during Marlena's missing years. Was she really comatose the whole time and if so, why did Stefano remind her that he taught her how to play chess when they were in Maison Blanche? This story is inspired in part by the movie The Long Kiss Goodnight and by the fact that I always thought Gina and John being art thieves was kinda lame. This is a long, long story and it's a bit of a wild ride. I hope you enjoy it!
