It's September 2003, and as the "Say You Will Tour" goes on, Lindsey Buckingham is called upon by producers to film his own episode of Soundstage in Chicago. For Lindsey, a man who has always called Fleetwood Mac his "big movie" and his solo career his "small movie", this is the chance of a lifetime, the chance to truly share his art and his alone with fans, and from the moment he first heard the new of this opportunity there has been only one thing - and one person - on his mind...

He knows he cannot be on Soundstage without Stevie Nicks, the woman with whom he began his career, the woman whose voice, as she predicted in song, still continues to haunt him.

Six years after letting him go, six years after the heartache of watching Lindsey leave her side to build his family, Stevie agrees to share the stage with him in Chicago...

What follows is not only an incredible performance but a reunion of souls that has bee six years - or, rather, TWENTY-six years - in the making.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".

Say You Will Part 1: Destiny Rules by GoldDustLinda77

(Part 1 of 2) In 2002, Fleetwood Mac went into the studio for the first time in 15 years to create the album Say You Will, and the cameras rolled on a documentary following the process...Destiny Rules... Set after "The Dance", as Lindsey Buckingham has just spent 5 years creating the family that Stevie Nicks insisted he do at the end of the tour when a baby that wasn't hers was on the way, "Destiny Rules" is the story of Stevie and Lindsey finding their way back to each other during the Say You Will era of the early 2000s... "It's just like a river; it's never ending. I cannot pretend that the heartache falls away." ~ Stevie Nicks

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.

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...

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.

Crystal Visions Part 1: The Reunion by GoldDustLinda77

On the evening of May 20, 2007, Lindsey Buckingham receives a mysterious gift at his front doorstep that leads him to the Greek Theater in Los Angeles, California to attend an event he never in a million years expected to even attend...let alone enjoy...let alone change the entire trajectory of his life and the lives of his family and the one woman who he's never been able to erase from his memory...or his heart. (I have told several different versions of the reunion of Stevie and Lindsey across a span of about 35 years...so here is just one more I can't get out of my head. Enjoy!) <3

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."

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. She plans on spending a quiet night at home after a show in Florida with her dogs, her music, her journal, some Law & Order SVU and, of course, a carrot cake. 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...

Fall From Grace: The Dance Thriller, Part 2 by GoldDustLinda77

It's Fall 1997 and Stevie and Lindsey have it all...almost. With a wedding being planned and a baby on the way, a Fleetwood Mac reunion tour and the news of the band being inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, everything has fallen into place. That is, except for Lindsey's tie to a woman from his past that can't seem to take no for an answer. Pregnant with Lindsey's child from their brief relationship , Kristen Messner embarks on a campaign to get Stevie and her unborn child out of the way to have Lindsey for herself...and what results is a fall from grace...and quite possibly, the Buckingham Nicks happy ending that should have been. "One night in a world of pain and you finally understand." ~ Stevie Nicks, "Fall From Grace", Trouble In Shangri-La, 2000
