Dreams in Fiction

Title: One Thing

Word Count: 6,927
Rating: NC-17 [sex, alcohol, language]
Warnings/Spoilers/Summary: This is not canon with Midnight Shift though it could be depending upon reception to it. The idea for this ficlet came up while chatting with one of my best friends. As my muse has been inactive of late, I figured giving this a try would not be a bad thing at all...

Summer Dylan and Lindsey Buckingham run into each other on the streets of Berkeley and both of their lives are changed... for the better? Set in 1977.

Warnings/Spoilers/Summary: According to Justin's wiki, he likes to stroll along the Cornish coast. So he does just that.

Author's note: As you may notice, there is a I after the title. That is intentional. I will write a part II for May's Song Challenge, mainly because I already feel this brief beginning. I just wanted to share it first so you didn't think I forgot. This also means there will not be any nominating this month. Start thinking for June!
