It's Fall 1997 and Stevie and Lindsey have it all...almost. With a wedding being planned and a baby on the way, a Fleetwood Mac reunion tour and the news of the band being inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, everything has fallen into place. That is, except for Lindsey's tie to a woman from his past that can't seem to take no for an answer. Pregnant with Lindsey's child from their brief relationship , Kristen Messner embarks on a campaign to get Stevie and her unborn child out of the way to have Lindsey for herself...and what results is a fall from grace...and quite possibly, the Buckingham Nicks happy ending that should have been. "One night in a world of pain and you finally understand." ~ Stevie Nicks, "Fall From Grace", Trouble In Shangri-La, 2000

In the spring of 1997, Lindsey Buckingham was having fun in the studio, jamming with Mick, John and occasionally Christine, 4 out of 5 members of Fleetwood Mac ready to rumble. That was when Warner Brothers, capitalizing on the renewed energy and friendships, decided adding Stevie to the mix for a full-blown reunion concert would be a great idea. The Dance, as it was soon called, reunited 5 great musicians and friends...and also...a couple, 20 years smarter and saner and still very much in love. In this THIRD version of The Dance from GoldDustLinda77, you will follow along as Stevie and Lindsey finally clear the air in an effort to see, as they both approach 50, if love can conquer all...if they just sit down and talk and "let their secrets free, baby." Welcome back to 1997, that pivotal moment in history when Buckingham Nicks proves second chances are what happens if you "let the walls burn down" and talk it out.

Will Stevie and Lindsey be able to hold up their pact to be together some day? Drama, partners, and a new album get in the way. Set in 2010.

Fleetwood Mac fizzles out and goes their own ways after The Dance. Ten years later, Stevie and Lindsey unexpectedly cross paths again through their children. Set in 2007.

Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks are the love story for the ages. Often tragic, always passionate, the magnetic pull and electricity between these two will always pull them together and perhaps push them apart. This story touches on all of their decades together and what might become of these two star-crossed lovers. This story took on a life of its own and is much longer than I'd originally imagined it would be. That said, it's for the die-hard Buckingham Nicks fans since it is a bit of a time commitment. If you decide to give it a go, I hope you'll enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it! Cheers!
