Jarlena Stories

After Marlena divorced John after the Kristen/Brady debacle of 2013 - it's not over. It was never really over. Short little story I couldn't get out of my head.

A week away was supposed to change nothing. When Marlena Evans agrees to speak at an Empowering Women lecture series, she hopes the time away from Salem will give her a chance to breathe and escape the growing tension surrounding John, Kristen, and the secrets threatening to tear their family apart. Instead, one devastating accident changes everything. As old wounds reopen and impossible choices are forced into the light, John and Marlena must confront the truths they've spent too long avoiding. In the aftermath of tragedy, both will discover that sometimes the most painful transformations are also the ones that lead us home. Set during the turbulent fake-baby era, Transformations explores love, loss, forgiveness, and the enduring bond between two people determined to find their way back to each other.

The tide took her away. Roman Brady refuses to believe it can keep her. After a devastating plane crash leaves Marlena Evans Brady missing and presumed dead, Roman begins a relentless search for the woman he loves. But even if the tide returns her to him, both must face the emotional wreckage left behind. Sometimes love means holding on. Sometimes it means learning how to come home again.

John and Marlena have their 1993 but it lasts for six months, before Marlena pleads with John to help her break it off. John leaves. Fast forward 5 years and the two bump into each other in Chicago, both attendees at the same wedding.

Post Marlena's 1992 return to Salem. Marlena made the decision to give her marriage to Roman a try, but is struggling. John, putting his own pain aside, is frequently there to help her. Thank you to Ms. Goldie for the cover art and for inspiring me to revise and continue this story!

Their love was rumored fact and fiction, blurring the lines between reel and real. After a decade apart, John Black, a retired baseball player and now Hollywood star, reaches out to Marlena Evans with an opportunity she cannot refuse. The challenge? They must contend with feelings of longing and attraction, leading to an arrangement.

Set in early '99 when Hope was Gina, John was being an ass, Bo and Marlena were confused, and I got pissed off. A look at what might have happened had Marlena decided to dip her hand in the Brady brother cookie jar one more time. And then got caught.

Marlena and John come home for the big party at the new townsqaure but end up leaving and none the other stuff happens

This was my very first #Jarlena fanfic, started in the 90's and never completed. For a sense of completeness of all my fics I'm gonna post it here (also it's easier to read on Wattpad to be quite honest!) So the premise of this story is that a "stranger" arrives in Salem. He looks like Eugene Bradford but he has no memories of Eugene's life, because he is Q (of Start Trek fame). Eventually we find out he is both Q and Eugene (Qugene if you will) and he has been sent to Salem to get a certain pretty lady shrink and her soulmate back together. Kristen DiMera gets in the way and goes a bit cray cray and poor Qugene rather looses his heart to his one time best friend. Like I said, it's unfinished but it's LONG (hey, it is me after all) and like I said it was my first attempt at a fanfic so it's a little clunky in places but it's a bit of fun to read. **** THANK YOU to @MsGoldie for the AMAZING cover design!

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!
