Buckingham Nicks A/U Series Part 4: The Dance
***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.Complete

***In the alternate universe of the Buckingham Nicks family universe*** By 1987, Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham have plenty to be proud of - ten years of marriage, two blossoming children, solo careers of their own, and a new Fleetwood Mac album called Tango In The Night. Of course, any Fleetwood Mac fan knows that 1987 was not the finest hour for several members of the band - mainly Mick and John - and their issues with substance abuse, along with a few other deep-seated issues, cause Lindsey to make an announcement just before the tour that will ultimately change his relationship with his band... But will he also destroy his relationship with Stevie and the kids, and ruin a decade of marriage?Complete
Kind Of Woman (Mirage Era: Part 1)
"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..."Complete

Buckingham Nicks A/U: Rooms On Fire (Part 1 of 2)
***Another installment of the Buckingham Nicks Alternate Universe*** Stevie Nicks never expected any of this to be her life at 40 years old...but then again, she did... With Lindsey Buckingham's 1987 departure from Fleetwood Mac, Stevie finds herself living with a few significant changes, good and bad - The birth of their daughter Sara as their two older children are becoming tweens, the Shake The Cage Tour in which Stevie must learn how to be a part of Fleetwood Mac without Lindsey for the first time since joining the band, and recording a new solo album with producer Rupert Hine, which leads to the classic jealous streak in Lindsey that's threatened their relationship before. These and other reasons are what drive Stevie to take the advice of a doctor who has prescribed her a dangerous medication that begins to strip away at her spark, her creative energy...and her energy in general. In 1988-1989, in the alternate universe of Buckingham Nicks, the rooms are all on fire.Complete
