***The final installment of the Mirage Era Trilogy***

Stevie shocks everyone in her life when she marries her best friend Robin's widower, Kim Anderson, in January of 1983, in an effort to get over the loss and raise the newborn baby boy Robin left behind. 

The most shocked and appalled by this sudden union is Lindsey, who had made it clear before the wedding that he wanted Stevie back!

"Stand Back" takes us through the story of Stevie's ill-fated three-month stint with marriage and motherhood, her descent into drugs and madness as The Wild Heart Tour takes her away from the situation...

...with an alternate-universe ending no one will ever see coming! &lt;3All Rights Reserved

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

Buckingham Nicks A/U Series Part 4: The Dance by GoldDustLinda77

***In the ongoing Buckingham Nicks alternate universe*** The year is 1997. After creative differences led to Lindsey's departure from Fleetwood Mac in 1987, the Buckingham family - which has expanded with the birth of their daughter Sara in 1988 - has been laying low. Stevie's solo career has been thriving, and they have been raising two teenagers and a very rambunctious and creative and different little girl, Lindsey at home in his studio happily being a stay-at-home dad and making his own music. 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.

Kind Of Woman (Mirage Era: Part 1) by GoldDustLinda77

"All there was, was tea...and Lindsey." After three grueling tours in six years, two painful breakups, a growing addiction to cocaine and a very successful solo album called Bella Donna that she's dead-set on following up with The Wild Heart, Stevie cuts her first solo tour extremely short to honor her promise to Fleetwood Mac and join them in a castle forty miles outside of Paris, France to record an album that will be a lot more commercial than Tusk...much to Lindsey's chagrin... But when Stevie receives word that her best friend Robin is not only dying of leukemia but pregnant, she begins to rely more and more on Lindsey for support, and things heat up and emotions run high as the situation between them, the situation with Robin, as well as growing addictions and drama within the band, take hold. "Six weeks in a foreign country, how the time flew...I didn't speak the language, but somehow I knew..."

On With The Show (Original Series Part 4) by GoldDustLinda77

Everything in Stevie's life seems to have fallen into place in 2014...she and Lindsey are more in love and committed to their (secret) relationship than ever, Christine has returned to her good friend and to the band after 16 years in the English countryside, and Fleetwood Mac is on the road once again with their epic On With The Show world tour! Stevie's happiness on the road, however, is tested by a number of concerns, including Kristen's growing bitterness towards her husband and his "onstage relationship", little Sulamith the dog's advanced age forcing Stevie to look back upon 16 years and reflect on the child she lost long ago, and the dissolving of a long-term Fleetwood Mac marriage that has Mick repeating some old habits that may threaten the happiness Stevie and Lindsey have found together doing what they do best - curling up in hotel suites on tour and locking out the world to enjoy their secret love. Will Stevie and Lindsey's relationship repeat old patterns, or will the magic that has always and forever been Buckingham Nicks survive as they go "on with the show"???

Not Just a Mirage by frozentwinflames

Set in winter 1981-1982 at Château d'Hérouville in France. Fleetwood Mac takes to the (possibly) haunted chateau to film their next studio album, Mirage. Stranded in the countryside of France, tensions run high as Stevie and Lindsey are forced to coexist under the same roof while dealing with the aftermath of their debut solo records, the Tusk tour, and news of Robin's illness.

Talk To Me: The Dance Thriller, Part 1 by GoldDustLinda77

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.

Buckingham Nicks A/U Series Part 2: Dreams by GoldDustLinda77

***A sequel to Over My Head"*** Tensions run high as Stevie and Lindsey, newly engaged, head back into the studio to continue the work they began in Sausalito on the Rumors album, before they mended their relationship and promised each other forever. Will these tensions tear them apart again or will they decide to hold onto "what they had" before it becomes "what they lost"?

Heartbroken by Sskcin

Tragedy strikes Stevie and Lindsey, but it may or may not bring them back together. Set in 2004.

If You Were My Love (Double Love Series Part 1) by GoldDustLinda77

From 1995-2023, I chronicled the affair-turned-feud-turned-marriage of Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham, finally uniting them in "The Wild Heart" and continuing their journey in "Gold And Braid; A Love Story". In "Outside The Rain", it was a life-threatening illness in 2022 that was the catalyst for a Buckingham Nicks love reunion. And now, how about another alternate ending to the greatest love story in rock & roll history... The year is 2022. 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... That is, until a phone call to both from a band member about ANOTHER famous Fleetwood Mac couple's late-in-life reunion throws them both together for the first time in nearly 5 long years... The chain may keep them together, but will it help them all find their way back together for good after 5 years apart? Find out in my next present-day Buckingham Nicks reunion love story, "If You Were My Love".
