California Dreamin' (Part 1)
Before the fame. Before the heartbreak. Before they became icons, there was just Stevie and Lindsey. Two kids from California tangled up in ambition, music, and a love that neither of them understood but couldn't seem to walk away from. As Stevie looks back on those early days, she begins to trace the fault lines of the choices that changed everything. This is a story about being chosen, and what it costs. About chasing the kind of dream that burns everything in its path. And about how the beginnings we try to outrun are the ones that never truly let us go.Complete

They Need Therapy (Part 2): The Reckoning
What if the love of your life walked back in-and asked if you were ready to try again? Three years after stepping into therapy to save his marriage, Lindsey Buckingham returns-this time with Stevie Nicks. Their reunion, sparked by grief and silence, begins with a question no one dares to answer: What broke this time? As they unpack decades of passion, collapse, and unfinished songs, a new truth emerges-one that neither a memoir nor an interview can contain. With the past bleeding into the present and old habits rising to the surface, Lindsey and Stevie must decide what to salvage, what to bury, and whether love-once shattered-can ever be rebuilt. Because some stories don't end. They echo.Complete
Once Upon a Time
When Stevie Nicks begins reading a bedtime story about a prince and princess who once loved each other, an old fairy tale becomes a journey through the past, slowly revealing what happened when, after years apart, the prince and princess unexpectedly found their way back into each other's lives. Disclaimer: All chapter intro lyrics belong entirely to sombr and are included purely because they couldn't be more fitting for their story. Frankly, even Lindsey Buckingham himself couldn't have written songs more perfectly suited to their history.
Echoes of Nicks
In 2018, Lindsey Buckingham was fired from the band that defined him. By 2025, he and his former lover quietly re-released Buckingham Nicks, back on speaking terms, leaving fans to wonder what really happened in the years between.
A Mirage
Life is never uncomplicated for Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham and the Mirage tour is no exception.
Frozen Love
For the fans, it began as a single Instagram post, a picture of a single line written in her handwriting... "...and if you go forward..." Moments later, another post, the following line, written in his... "I'll meet you there." For Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham, however, it was so much more than just two lines from a decades-old song. It was the start of something neither of them could ever have imagined, neither one of them were planning on...but still something they couldn't ignore. When the Buckingham Nicks album's long-awaited reissue was announced, 52 years after the its original release, both Stevie and Lindsey were perfectly happy to abandon their rift and replace the silent treatment with a mature and civil understanding, a burying of the hatchet that began with the death of Christine McVie and the reality that life is short and neither of them were getting any younger. However, it didn't take long before that civility and reverence for their shared history turned into something more, something much deeper... ... something akin to a second (well, a hundredth) chance to grow old together the way they dreamed of decades earlier, when they sang those two lines into a microphone and meant every word. This is the story of the reunion of a lifetime, and a love story that proves it is never too late to have it all...no matter how many years your love has been frozen.Complete

Silver Rings and Second Chances
A Buckingham Nicks story set in 1987. Lindsey didn't want to do the tour and Stevie knew this, which is why they faked their infamous physical fight the month before. The "fight" was also to further hide the fact that they've been back together since January.
Our Digital Life
Essentially, I wanted to create a series of oneshots based on real-life media of Buckingham Nicks over the years. Each chapter will tell a different story, mimicking what we know for sure happened and what I believe happened before and after. If you'd like, send me any videos, pictures, or interviews that you love, and I'll work them into the story!
