Stevie Nicks and Fleetwood Mac concert posters by Bob Masse.

since i’ve been on the rockstar!eddie brainrot train lately, i might as well commit

so, i’ve been obsessed with “silver springs” by fleetwood mac (especially this https://youtu.be/eDwi-8n054s?si=YYRskhhIto-HR0Hj performance (you probably know the one i’m talking about, and if you don’t, you should really watch it)) this past few weeks, and i keep thinking about steddie breaking up in their early twenties and eddie taking off to some big city with cc where he gets famous afterwards. and so it’s the 10th anniversary of their break up and, as much as eddie tried to tell himself he had moved on, he got on stage and sang “silver springs” (which was one of steve’s favorite songs that they used to listen to together all the time) in the most rage-induced, heartbroken way possible as the closing song of the concert.

and this, coincidentally, is the one cc concert steve decided to go to, because he too hadn’t moved on and he thought it would be bitterly ironic to go to eddie’s concert on the exact day 10 years had passed since their break up. he didn’t want for eddie to find out, so he went incognito, didn’t even take robin with him because he could tell himself how pathetic he was being all on his own, thank you very much.

but when eddie started singing the song, he just. froze. and then, when eddie sang “you’ll never get away from the sound of a man that loves you” (and he didn’t change the tense, he didn’t say “loved” instead of “loves” while he changed the “woman” to “man”, so it couldn’t be for the sake of not changing the song, it must have meant something, didn’t it? please let it mean something) he just started pushing through the people to get to the stage, ignoring the shouts of the other fans. he jumped on the stage just as eddie sang that line for the second time, and when eddie saw him he just stopped immediately, while steve practically ran up to him and proceeded to lay one on him in the most dramatic-ass way possible in front of thousands of people.

and when they finally parted steve just said “i guess i couldn’t, uh, get away” and eddie started crying-laughing, while the crowd went fucking wild and the security people were thinking “what the actual fuck is going on, do we need to haul this guy off the stage?” and eddie, ever the performer, continued singing (because the rest of the band just kept playing the instrumental part, because like, what the fuck else do they do?) and basically serenaded the rest of the song to steve, tears running down both of their faces and eddie not taking his eyes off steve for even a second.

and when they finally got to the end of the song, eddie gently put his hand on steve’s face as he sang “you could be my silver spring”, and when the lyrics ended eddie tugged steve in for another kiss. the crowd was screaming for an encore, now absolutely feral, but eddie, absolutely flustered and shellshocked, just shot off a “thank you, *insert city*! you’ve been great, but i have some… stuff to do” and steve went beet fucking red as they ran backstage.

and then they make up (and make out) and live happily ever after, together. the end.

you may consider this a fic prompt. or maybe i will finally person up and write this myself, we may never know.

i've literally never recovered from this

like i know daisy is supposed to be fanfic stevie nicks. i KNOW. but i literally cant help but see florence welch when she's performing

The fact that I‘m actually going to be in England seeing Stevie Nicks on Christine‘s Birthday. Some odd powers are at work here!!

I'm enjoying 'Rumours' much more knowing the relationship chaos and disaster that underlies it. Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks broke up and now she's banging Mick Fleetwood! Christine and John McVie broke up and now she's banging the lighting guy! Mick Fleetwood used to have the sense not to shit where he eats, but since he and his wife broke up, he's banging Stevie Nicks!

Everybody's on cocaine!

Lindsey Buckingham takes first blood making Stevie Nicks sing backing vocals on 'Second Hand News'! She hits back with 'Dreams'!* By God, it's Christine McVie with a steel chair! Wait, no, it's Christine McVie singing 'You Make Loving Fun' to the lighting guy while John McVie plays bass!

They all manage to co-operate on one (1) song ('The Chain') and it's about how they don't love each other anymore and they're all bitter and miserable.

It's amazing. You just have to listen to it imagining everyone giving each other massive side-eye and white-knuckling their instruments/mics so they don't start swinging. It's like Disaster Gays but nobody's actually gay.

*A song that drove me batty when it was that vapid Corrs cover I couldn't get away from, but is much better in the powered-by-loathing original.
