days daysofourlives dool grace jarlena john marlena stefano

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!All Rights Reserved

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.....
