I Will Run To You by GoldDustLinda77

It's 1983 and there is not a dull moment for Stevie Nicks. She is preparing for her Wild Heart tour, still grieving the loss of her best friend Robin, embroiled in a divorce from Robin's widower, Kim Anderson, and mourning the loss of her chance at motherhood with Kim having taken baby Matthew home. Her cocaine habit, which has become her only coping mechanism by now, has become a full-blown addiction. The last thing Stevie needs in her life is a stalker who threatens her safety and even her life. The last thing she needs is to go on with the tour and begin a relationship with Joe Walsh. But the first thing she needs is a good dose of reality, of safety, of love, of a reminder of the old days, and person to step in and remind her of who she is, what she needs, and to save her from the danger lurking around the corner. What she needs is Lindsey Buckingham, and that's exactly what she gets.

I Sing For The Things: A Birthday Love Story by GoldDustLinda77

***In the real-life world of Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham*** It's Friday, May 26, 2023, and Stevie is 75. With her recent touring schedule, an ongoing illness in her band making it harder, and still mourning the loss of Christine McVie, she is in no mood for celebration.

So into her solo birthday plans is she that she almost ignores a phone call that leads to a late-night drive that puts a long-standing feud to an end will change the rest of her life...

Buckingham Nicks A/U Series Part 1: Over My Head by GoldDustLinda77

On New Years Eve, 1974, broke and dejected and desperate to make it in the music business, Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham join Fleetwood Mac at a Mexican restaurant... What followed is the story of five very different people becoming a family, dysfunctional though it may have been from the start, making beautiful music together and enjoying almost instant stardom and riches beyond their wildest dreams. At the center of it all, with their relationship on the rocks after years of being tested by crippling blows from the industry and living below the poverty line, remains the beautiful, romantic, once-in-a-lifetime love affair of Stevie and Lindsey, two kids out of Northern California whose perfect harmony exists not only in their music but in their hearts...and in their bed. This is the story of the inception of Fleetwood Mac, a love story that exists when two people in love with making music and each other find themselves "over their heads...and it sure feels nice."

Enchanted (Mirage Era: Part 2) by GoldDustLinda77

***A sequel to "Kind Of Woman"... 1982 is a very difficult year for Stevie as she deals with heading out on tour with Fleetwood Mac to promote the Mirage album, working on her second solo album, The Wild Heart, and the resignation that she is losing her best friend to leukemia, only after she discontinues treatment to leave behind her miracle baby. All the while, Lindsey has made his intentions clear: He wants Stevie back and has made every attempt to tell her he loves her, but according to Stevie and her wild heart, "it's a shame that he wanted her" because "he didn't try." (P.S. In-depth coverage of Stevie's infamous emotional "Sisters Of The Moon" performance just days after Robin's death included!)

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..."

Miss Fantasy by frozentwinflames

Set in 2013. The death of Stevie's mother causes Lindsey and Stevie to reconnect in a deeper way, inspiring three new songs and an old resurfaced Buckingham Nicks track for Fleetwood Mac. After Stevie and Lindsey bond and heal old wounds while recording Extended Play, they accidentally let the fantasy go too far when the band goes on tour. Grief, regret, love, fantasy, and a whole lot of sneaking around ensues. Strange are the ways of a very complicated world...

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...

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..."
