Going Home To Doc
It's late 2014 when John wakes from a coma believing it's still 2012, and that he and Marlena are still married and deeply in love.

Going Home to Doc is a slow-burn, second-chance romance that asks: can soulmates ever truly let go? Notes about the use of canon in this universe: John & Marlena have been married since 1999 and that marriage was fully intact until 2012. There was no Princess Gina, no RoboJohn, no Alex North, no reasons for multiple separations and marriages over the years. Until 2012 their relationship was solid and the tests to their relationship always came from the outside but their relationship itself was upenetrable. 2012 changed everything.
