They Need Therapy (Part 1): The Divorce Sessions by secondhandmuse

What if the love of your life never really left the room? When legendary guitarist Lindsey Buckingham is fired from Fleetwood Mac, he thinks he's lost everything-until his wife Kristen files for divorce, and he realizes the real reckoning is only just beginning. Forced into court-mandated therapy, Lindsey wants to save what's left. Kristen wants the truth. Over twelve sessions, old wounds surface. So do old names. And one name cuts deeper than all the others: Stevie Nicks. As the sessions unfold, past and present collide-unearthing betrayal, regret, and the kind of love that refuses to die quietly. Torn between the life he built and the life he lost, Lindsey must finally confront the question he's spent decades avoiding: Was he ever capable of choosing anyone at all?

Buckingham Nicks A/U: Rooms On Fire (Part 1 of 2) by GoldDustLinda77

***Another installment of the Buckingham Nicks Alternate Universe*** Stevie Nicks never expected any of this to be her life at 40 years old...but then again, she did... With Lindsey Buckingham's 1987 departure from Fleetwood Mac, Stevie finds herself living with a few significant changes, good and bad - The birth of their daughter Sara as their two older children are becoming tweens, the Shake The Cage Tour in which Stevie must learn how to be a part of Fleetwood Mac without Lindsey for the first time since joining the band, and recording a new solo album with producer Rupert Hine, which leads to the classic jealous streak in Lindsey that's threatened their relationship before. These and other reasons are what drive Stevie to take the advice of a doctor who has prescribed her a dangerous medication that begins to strip away at her spark, her creative energy...and her energy in general. In 1988-1989, in the alternate universe of Buckingham Nicks, the rooms are all on fire.

A sequel to Why Not? Sadly, Stevie doesn't get to enjoy her new found happiness for long and who does she turn to?

Mid 80s. Lindsey decides to quit the band and Stevie doesn't take it very lightly.

Stevie and Lindsey 2014. Old rockers take what they want, but are they getting too complacent?

Stevie is a "single" mother raising her two kids alongside her mother. When the father (Lindsey) returns, he'll stop at nothing to make things right with everybody while he wiggles through his own personal struggles. (A/U: '90s). A/N: I always picture them as The Dance or Say You Will, but am always altering their ages. I'd say about mid to late thirties in this story.

Tragedy strikes for Lindsey Buckingham and his family. Stevie Nicks comes to support Lindsey through this difficult time. Will they rekindle their love or will they realize it wasn't meant to be? Side note:Dates and the characters ages do not reflect reality.

***Another In Your Dreams era tale*** Stevie Nicks has spent the better part of 2010 having the time of her life. After agreeing to create her first studio album in a decade in her luxurious Santa Monica home, Dave Stewart has added immeasurably to her life and her art, but there is still one thing they haven't gotten a handle on - "Soldier's Angel". Stevie knows that there is only one person on earth who has ever understood her and her art enough to be able to save the song that means so much to her... His name is Lindsey Buckingham. When Stevie calls Lindsey to come over and help her with the song, things get very emotional very quickly because - as revealed in flashbacks from Fleetwood Mac's 2009 tour - there is a lot of unfinished business between them, and it is the kind of unfinished business that will leave both of them questioning if the events that transpired one night on tour represent the worst mistake they've ever made, or the first step towards a reconciliation. "Just like nothing's changed after all these years...and you're not to blame..."

At the age of 74, Stevie Nicks is no stranger to loss. Robin, Jess, Barbara, Tom - not to mention every fur baby she's ever called herself Mommy to - have been losses she's never quite recovered from. Stevie, like all people, has heard the old expression, "Life is short." But she never thought she'd actually stand to lose Lindsey Buckingham. At the age of 73, Lindsey Buckingham is stunned to learn he is suffering from a heart condition, 4 years after a heart attack and triple bypass surgery forced him to look at his own mortality, take stock of the things working and not working in his life. But he knows in his heart the thing working the least is not being able to talk to Stevie Nicks. From Thanksgiving to New Years Eve 2022, a pair of stubborn soul mates with 56 years of history will take stock of what they had...and what they lost...and what they had...and what they lost... ...and finally figure out how to let The Chain keep them together.

Stephanie, Stevie to friends, is a single woman, working as a housekeeper for the Buckingham family. Lindsey, Mr. Buckingham, a family man, becomes fond of a woman, who isn't his wife.
