Two very interesting options. Alone, each one is intriguing. Together, they tell a completely different story of Deacon and Rayna. Completely and totally AU.

After her second accident, Rayna attempts to pick her life back up again. Of course nothing is easy and some pretty big events try to shake up the life she, Deacon, and their daughters have made.

Rayna and Deacon on tour for their concept album. A look into the stories that inspired their music. Chapters cover from pre-series to season 5 episode 8. Some canon, some AU.

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).

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.

A Nashville one shot about Rayna and Maddie. Told following the storyline of the song Forever Changed by Carrie Underwood, which is about a daughter dealing with her mothers Alzheimer’s disease. The song obviously doesn’t follow how Nashville told Rayna and Deacons story but I still thought it was a sweet story! I changed one name from the song to Tandys so it would make sense

Can Rayna and Deacon keep their hands off each other for 7 days? Anti-Valentine's story, sort of.

Oh, the weather outside is frightful... and that's how Rayna and Deacon have found themselves snowed in together after a gig. And they're not happy about it... to begin with. (my stab at the Christmas Fun! fanfic c-word)

Set in Season One, Rayna and Deacon begin to reflect on their feelings for each other, after Deacon brings Stacey to New York with him.

But then, something even more insane happens. (Written for the Christmas Fun! thingy.)

It's a few months before Forged in the Fire, and it's Christmas time...

Another take on Deacon and Rayna's complicated relationship and a twist on that paternity thing. AU

When Deacon got out of Rehab. and found out that Rayna was pregnant and married to Teddy Conrad, he left Nashville. What happens when over 10 years later, they end up on the same tour? Maddie is not Deacon's daughter in this story.

Throwing a Santa hat into the ring of seasonal fun and games. Fluffier than one of Will Lexington's bath robes

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

Open me!

Pre-show flashbacks, told from Deacon's POV.

if you ever think you got it wrong, I'm right where you left me. Bristen AU.

[Rewrite of an old fic.] An alternative version of season two. No Megan, no Luke, only Rayna & Deacon finding their way back to each other.

Rayna catches Teddy cheating. She's furious, hurt, and confused. She goes out and gets drunk and Deacon finds her.

What lengths will someone go to to keep Rayna away from Deacon? Will they succeed?

So Rayna had chosen another man once again. But, this time, Deacon was sober and ready to be a husband, ready to be a father.

The forging part. Rayna, Deacon and some familiar faces preparing to set out on their first tour.

Mr & Mrs Lamar Wyatt request the pleasure of your company at a party on the property from 2pm Sunday July 20 1969, to witness history in the making.

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.
