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?

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.

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.

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?

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

Read me...

The times Deacon and Rayna got caught in the act, loosely based on the seven deadly sins.

An Au story after 5.09 A look at what would have happened had Rayna lived. It follows her through her recovery and her battle back to the top of the country music charts. What happens when Deacon has to be the strong one for a change? How will they both deal with that role reversal? How will they cope when demons they thought they buried rear their heads again?

A (VERY) belated spooky special/bonus chapter of Forged in the Fire...

Rayna and Deacon take Maddie to see Santa on one stolen day of Christmas together.

Bristen story. Based on the lyrics from the song Illicit Affairs by Taylor Swift. Collab with SomethingStronger. You should listen to the song before you read this if you have never heard it. Sorry, this is long and very angsty.
