What if the affair, was really an affair? An emotionally messy, full of angst, and guilt, affair. John and Marlena can't seem to stay away from each other, no matter how many times they say it's over.

Love Never Dies John Black is gone, but the story isn't over. When Mariah and Ethan Vaughan are drawn into a web of ISA secrets, family legacies, and unanswered questions, they discover that the past is far more dangerous than they ever imagined. A story of family, loyalty, sacrifice, and the enduring power of love. Because some legacies are written in blood. Others are written in love.

A different twist after the Affair... *I don't know how long this will be... or how often I can update. But it's been rolling around in my head and I had to get it out lol.*

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

The possession is over, but Father John Black still struggles with the attraction he feels for the woman he saved.

John struggles with his love for two women. One who is dying, and the other belongs to someone else...but she used to be his.

Three years after they said goodbye in Mexico, John is engaged to Kristen Blake, and Marlena is living a quiet, if not boring, life with Roman. One fateful choice, a flight to Seattle, and Stefano's desire to rip John from his daughter's life changes everything forever.

John Black's world changed forever in February of 1995. Losing his son and the one woman who always held his heart nearly killed him. Five years later his marriage to Kristen is falling apart. His obsession with finding the last of Stefano's clones might destroy him... or possibly bring him back from the darkness he's called home for the last five years.

This series begins Easter 1996. It will take our couple through a year of holidays, because we didn't get holidays with them together and their kids still little, which was so unfair. Not only to make Christmas 97 about Roman, Sami & Eric after everything we went through, but then to age Belle and Brady before we could have any time with them.

I wrote this many moons ago and never got to finish it up. Going to try to rediscover the story and characters as I go. You're welcome to come along for the journey, if you wish. This is my take on the affair from 1993, set in that moment in time. Hope you enjoy (:
