Rayna didn't meet Deacon when she was sixteen. They've followed separate paths for a while, but fate brings them together. (AU, as you can guess.)

Rayna guests on an ABC talk-show. Slightly stronger (for me) AU Deyna storyline set during Season 1

Even though Deacon and Rayna has broken up to deal with the car accident and Deacon and Maddie knowing now that they are related, Deacon and Megan broke up because of him finding out that she was cheating on him with Teddy and Luke and Rayna has long since broken up because all their relationship was a fling.

THIS IS MY STORY AND WILL BE WRITTEN HOW I WANT IT TO. Deacon and Maddie knows that they are Dad and daughter and Rayna and Teddy are divorced for three years; Deacon will not relapse and will not be mad at Rayna (same with Maddie) and their relationship becomes even closer. (full summary inside)

This takes place 4 years after Rayna's mom dies, after Lamar kicks her out. I don't want to give too much away because I want there to be surprises. This won't be totally accurate to the show because I wanted to give Rayna and Deacon a happier beginning (and a happy ending!). Enjoy! Disclaimer: I don't own Nashville or any of these characters. Everything in this story is fictional.

It's not the way I hoped or how I planned, but somehow it's enough. And now we're standing face to face. Isn't this world a crazy place. A Bristen tale. From CB's POV.

It's 2008. Deacon's been back in Rayna's band for 8 years. Rayna says she knows why she invited him. Deacon has questions about why she invited him. It's all so complicated for them. Then the one thing Rayna always counted on goes sideways and it changes everything for everyone. Maybe a little dark. Maybe I'll even shake things up a little. Definitely AU.

Set after that elevator kiss in Season 1 - just a rambling reimagining of events afterwards, delving into the chemistry between Rayna & Deacon, fallout from that (Liam makes an appearance), and of course, eventual Deyna.

An original universe sequel. Four years on from the events of Season 6 Maddie is to be inducted into the Opry, Daphne has choices and Juliette has been quiet for a very long time.

Instead of Rayna dying and in the hospital with major injuries, she is recovering from minor injuries (from the car wreck) at home and is trying to take it easy while having nightmares of what happened in her office at Highway 65.

AU. Set in the Teddy years a few years after Maddie was born. Teddy is pushing for something Rayna doesn't want to give him. She finds herself opening up to the only one she can find comfort in, which could lead to a drastic change in her life. (For the ease of the story Maddie is Teddy's as I didn't want the paternity secret to be a thing in this story).

An AU where Deacon got sober before Maddie was born, so he and Rayna never broke up. The story starts at the time of the pilot episode and, later on, also includes flashbacks to their earlier life together.

Rayna and Deacon deal with the aftermath of her stalker encounter. Will their relationship be able to weather another storm?

Instead of Deacon ruining his relationship with Scarlett because of Beverly slowly dying in the hospital, he helps her and goes with her to get the funeral arrangements done. Colt and Maddie actually is already broken up because she found out that he was cheating on her during their whole relationship.

This a Deacon and Rayna story through and through but we have to get through Luke and Rayna first. Deacon and Rayna have another daughter before they had Maddie named Kaia and they also have a godson named James "Jimmy" Clay "JC" Jamison that is Vince's son and is on tour until he comes back.

How the TV show Nashville should have went if Virginia was alive and well.

Rayna is alive. Deacon discovers her journal and begins reading it. What will he find? Does he find the Rayna he knows or a stranger?

Rayna chooses option number three. At least for a little while.

It is set during/after the CMA episode. Rayna has been shielding herself for so long she has forgot what the warm feeling feels like. Can and will she let herself be reminded? and while she has been protecting herself what has she missed?

Scarlett realizes who she wants to be with but doesn't know how to begin the new life she started for herself.

Dayna centered AU Valentines stories post Season 6. In answer to the seasonal C-Word

Once action, one word, one thought, one change. All of that is enough to change the outcome and set someone on their path in life. We know what happened to Rayna Jaymes without her mother there to guide her through her formative years and career. Here's a look at what would have happened had Virginia lived.

After ten years of marriage and ten years of being partners and raising their family together Rayna and Deacon are still going strong. With two adult daughters making their own way in the music industry and other kids they are trying to get through elementary school. Their careers are still very much active. Join them as they navigate this next chapter of their lives together.
