buckinghamnicks fleetwoodmac lindseyybuckingham stevienicks

Stevie Nicks is on tour in the fall of 2022...and so is Lindsey Buckingham...separate solo tours because it's been five years since they've spoken...five years since the incident at MusiCares put an end to their years-long affair across two Fleetwood Mac tours...five years since Stevie has been driving everyone around her crazy working overtime to try to fix her broken heart...

When Lindsey is forced to cancel the remainder of his European tour due to "ongoing health issues", Stevie decides that enough is enough. Running out of her own tour to Lindsey's side seems like the only answer to her loneliness, to the questions that have been plaguing her, as well as many invested fans, over the last few years:

Is it too late for Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham to finally make amends? And what happen when someone you've known and loved for all of your adult life falls ill and you know you're running out of time on earth to fix what's broken?

In yet another alternative to the great 2022 Buckingham Nicks reunion, let's see if we can get two prideful rock legends to stop pretending they're okay without each other and get them together!All Rights Reserved

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".

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?
