***Rest in peace, Christine McVie, 1943-2022***

On November 30, 2022, the news broke across the world that Christine McVie passed away at age 79 after a brief illness in her home country of England. It was not long before the big question was splashed all over the internet...

"Why doesn't Christine's death make Stevie and Lindsey just let bygones be bygones already and make up because life's too short???" But the internet - as well as Mick, John and everyone else involved in Fleetwood Mac - don't know the truth...

Stevie and Lindsey have them all beat - they've already done that.

After seeing one another in person for the first time since MusiCares 2018 at Christine's funeral, Stevie and Lindsey begin a series of phone conversations in which they repair their relationship. They talk about everything - past memories, present life endeavors, future hopes and dreams, even their own mortality. Their conversations inevitably lead them down the road of examining the past 55 years and everything they have meant to each other, and whether or not it is too late to honor the memory of their good friend and seize the moment, spend their remaining years on earth together.All Rights Reserved

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"?

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?

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.

In 2022, Stephanie Nicks Buckingham has it all - She has finally married the love of her life, they share a beautiful home on the beach in Hawaii near Mick Fleetwood, and after her first solo tour in three years after a global pandemic and lockdown, the Rumors lineup of Fleetwood Mac, reunited, is heading out for a farewell tour!

I Wish That You Were Mine by DreamsUnwind

1990. Stevie takes matters into her own hands, but will it all be smooth sailing?

My Heart by GoldDustLinda77

***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..."

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".

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.
