***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

Can't Go Back by Sskcin

Stevie loses her best friend. And her mind. Mirage.

Everybody Loves You by GoldDustLinda77

On Monday, January 9, 2023, the four remaining members of Fleetwood Mac gather in Malibu at aa private memorial service for Christine McVie, whose death six weeks earlier shook them all to their core...particularly Stevie Nicks. As Stevie appears in Malibu to bid farewell to yet another best friend, she finds herself more anxious than sad, because two of the most important men in her life will be there, and so will their decades-long connections and conflicting emotions... Mick Fleetwood, who has made it clear to her since Christine's death that life is too short to deny oneself happiness...and happiness for Mick is to love Stevie in a way he was denied decades earlier during their brief love affair. Lindsey Buckingham, whom she has not set eyes on in 5 years, ever since the infamous MusiCares incident that got Lindsey kicked out of the band and put an abrupt end to 20 years of "almost" after their breakup after The Dance. Stevie, still grieving the loss of her friend, must decide once and for all who, if either of these men, will be the one with whom she will spend the remaining years of her life - the man whose comfortable friendship and home in Hawaii is waiting for her, or the man she has loved and hated and lusted after and mourned for her entire adult life but has never gotten over. Told in the first-person point of view by all three people involved in this love triangle, "Everybody Loves You" will answer question... Will Stevie choose comfort, passion, or her own independence from it all?

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"?

It's Up To You by Sskcin

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

Buckingham Nicks A/U Series Part 7: Say You Will by GoldDustLinda77

***The Buckingham Nicks alternate universe returns in the early 2000s with the era of Say You Will!!!*** It's 2002 and Stevie, just home from her Trouble In Shangri-La tour, joins Lindsey, Mick and John in the studio for the first time without Christine to make a new album. However their professional lives may be stressful, however, pales in comparison to the drama, the struggles and, yes, also the happiness, that comes with having two grown children, a young teen and a daughter just starting school...the family they have created over 25 years of marriage. A new album, a tour, a health scare, a wedding and the first grandchild of both the Buckinghams and the McVies color the first few years of the new millennium for our favorite rock and roll love match, Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham. "That kind of romance comes only once, that kind of love that kind of fever dance...that you love because you become someone else in an instant..." ~ Stevie Nicks, "Say You Will", 2002

Tango In The Night Part 2: When I See You Again by GoldDustLinda77

***The sequel to Tango In The Night Part 1: Big Love*** It's 1987 and Lindsey Buckingham has left Fleetwood Mac after a tumultuous and violent argument/showdown with Stevie and the band. Two new guitarists are hired and "the show must go on"...except that Stevie's pre-birthday night of passion with Lindsey has left her carrying his child! Stevie's avoidance of Lindsey drives him to seek help winning her back from unlikely sources...as well as prompting Mick to propose marriage to help her raise her child. Which of Stevie's "great loves" will be her husband of 35 years by Thanksgiving 2022, the start of the flashback story? Will Lindsey's wrongdoings be forgiven, or is Mick Fleetwood at the right place at the right time? And WHAT is her anniversary surprise? Find out in the conclusion of Tango In The Night...

Buckingham Nicks A/U Series Part 3: Storms by GoldDustLinda77

***After "Over My Head" came "Dreams"...now Part 3... Storms"!*** It's 1979 and Fleetwood Mac has a lot going on...not the least of which is recording Tusk and embarking on yet another tour... Stevie and Lindsey have just had 2 babies in 2 years! Happily married and trying to balance their young family and their careers leads to conflict, especially as Lindsey goes off the deep end with the Tusk sound, as Stevie starts talking about flying solo for awhile to make an album of her own, as as they have drastically different opinions on the dissolution of the marriage of Christine and John McVie, and as Mick muddles through an accidental relationship with Sara Recor all the while making it clear his love for Stevie has a heartbeat...and it never really dies...

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".

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.
