***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

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..."

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.

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

Join Stevie, Lindsey, Christine, John and Mick as they struggle to give their all to the great reunion tour of the fall of 1997 that was The Dance, all while figuring out how to be a family...with three beautiful life events in the end that prove that no matter what, they will never break the chain.

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.
