***In the continuing alternate universe of Buckingham Nicks***
Stevie and Lindsey have spent the spring of 1995 preparing to move their family into a new house in Santa Monica, and for her 47th birthday, that was exactly what they did. Hoping that the new space will be exactly what their family needs to start a new chapter after so many years of turmoil - Stevie's addiction, the fallout with Mick leading to a Fleetwood Mac lineup that, for the first time since 1975 contains no Buckingham Nicks, and Stevie's desire to mend fences with Robin's widower, Kim, and have a relationship with their son Matthew, now a middle-schooler.
What Stevie, Lindsey and their family are about to learn, however, is that in order to begin a new chapter in Santa Monica, they first must deal with the unfinished business they left behind in Venice Beach, and in the conflicts that must be resolved...as well as a business decision that threatens to cause a rift in rock and roll's most storied couple, Buckingham Nicks.

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!

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
