This is my first Fleetwood Mac / NickVie fanfiction, and also the first story I post on Wattpad!
The title is inspired by the Italian movie from 1953 titled "Bread, Love and Dreams". Thanks to my favorite FM fandom writers PaperGypsyDreams and Ava_BellaDonna for being my inspiration to finally write this! Also, a few shots of Courvoisier were involved in the making of this fanfic. :)
This short story is set in the 80s: there was no such thing as cellphones back then, so instead of the internet people would have their fanfics published in "fanzine", also known as magazines made by fans, for fans, and dedicated to artists.
Mick Fleetwood finds a copy that his daughter Amy's friends forgot home, and brings it to Lindsey Buckingham's home studio where everyone starts reading.
The content of a particular fanfiction will open their eyes and change their lives forever....
Enjoy! :)

Beauty And The Beast
Stevie Nicks never counted on Mick Fleetwood being her endgame. Sure, they used to joke about getting back together when they were 90 and in the old folks' home, but by 2012, after almost a decade of living with Mick in a beachfront home in Maui, Stevie never would have imagined that the major life changes she and Mick had gone through since the end of The Dance would have forced them together. But there she is, living in Maui with Mick and sleeping beside him each night - when she isn't traveling the country advertising her In Your Dreams documentary with Dave Stewart and trying hard to keep her feelings for him alive despite missing Lindsey so much she can hardly breathe... It isn't until Lindsey arrives in Maui for the opening of Mick's restaurant when temptation strikes and Stevie is forced to examine how she has been living her life for almost a decade...especially when Lindsey makes it clear that he wants her back. Will Stevie risk a comfortable relationship with an old friend for the possibility of true love with the man who has caused her "a world of both pleasure and pain"? And when Lindsey professes his love for Stevie and tells her he is willing to leave his wife for good, will she have the courage to turn to Mick and say, "I never doubted your beauty; I've changed"? Find out who is the beauty, who is the beast, and who, exactly, will die of grieving if she leaves...Complete

But when MTV approaches the band for a televised reunion concert and a subsequent tour unfolds, Stevie and Lindsey must navigate not just a resurgence of their careers in middle age but the perils of parenthood - as well as a late-in-life visit from the stork - and somehow keep alive the spark, the love, the undying passion that makes them Buckingham Nicks.Complete

What followed was 25 years of wedded bliss but still the ups and downs of their careers and their lives - two Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame inductions, countless tours with The Mac and solo, profound grief over losses in their family and the industry, and later, the health problems that come from two people in their 70s who have lived hard.

Separated by miles and by their long-standing feud since the 2018 MusiCares debacle, Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham are enjoying their separate solo careers in their 70s on two separate tours...

The chain may keep them together, but will it help them all find their way back together for good after 5 years apart?
