Walk Me Home by RachieQ

A one-shot short story set in 1992. Marlena is married to Roman and John is married to Isabella, who never got cancer so never died. Everything else is the same as the show. This short story is set on the night that Stella spiked Marlena's drink at Wings but it ends quite differently...

Leave Me Breathless by MsGoldie76

John can't forget the one woman he can't have. Marlena can't stop dreaming of the man she should have let go. What happens when fear, love, and desperation collide? This is a Canon Divergence retelling of the Lady in a Cage storyline with significant canon changes leading to another affair.

A Second Chance by MsGoldie76

A rewrite of the affair...

Love Isn't Complicated by MsGoldie76

A month after Roman's return Marlena realizes that everyone is unhappy. Roman wants their life to be the one he left behind seven years ago. John feels like everything he loved is lost, and Marlena is in love with the man who is not her husband, but once was.

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.....

Whisper My Name by MsGoldie76

Roman Brady has barely been back in Salem two months, when he abandons his family because of a threat from organized crime boss Raffi Torres. Marlena and her children are left vulnerable when Raffi decides to go after them instead. John takes Marlena, Eric, Sami, and Carrie on the run, determined to protect the family that will always be his.

Love Me by MsGoldie76

A rewrite of the Secret Room with several twists and turns...

between you and me by lovefleurs

The day Hanni dies, Haerin and Minji's world is turned upside down and the distance between them becomes almost too much to repair.

After Maison Blanche by MsGoldie76

A Maison Blanche canon divergence. After being emotionally, and physically tortured at the hands of Stefano DiMera, John and Marlena finally get free. Do they continue to live the lives people expect of them, or do they finally take what they want in life? Each other.

What If...Book II by RighteousQuery

What if John and Marlena had never had the chance to be together until many years later? What if he'd married Kristen and Marlena stayed with Roman? Take a wild ride and see a new spin on what could have happened.
