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

Avenoir by RachieQ

This is another one-shot but I am posting it in sections as I write it so keep checking back because I'll be updating it every few days! This story takes place in early 1997, mere days after John married Susan, masquerading as Kristen, in the delivery room as she gave birth to Elvis Jr., or John Jr., whichever you prefer. You might remember a rather delicious kiss that John and Marlena shared in Kristen's hospital room in the days following John Jr.'s arrival, while Kristen was trying to seduce her 'husband' into bed and Marlena was struggling with telling John the truth about his 'wife'. Well, that's where this short story starts. I think we all know where it's gonna end....
