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

How the story behind two Victorian portraits helped inspire the 14 year old Rayna.

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.

Open me and come join us for some Rayna-themed fun...

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.

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.

One 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.

Maddie coming back results several second chances

Rayna and Deacon at the cabin one stormy, hot weekend. You can guess the rest.

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)

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

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.
