Games by RachieQ

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.....
