They sung together all of the time. They probably didn't sing more duets, because usually a male/female contrast works better on songs, if you have both sexes in your band.
How exactly were they going to write together? Have Christine write music for Stevie's lyrics when she's not even into those types of words?? I don't get the impression that Stevie's demos inspired Christine to write anything (i.e. her description of Dreams as bland or comment that many of Stevie's songs were rubbish, even though the words sounded great together, even if she think they made sense) and she says she only wrote when she was needed anyway. No one ever needed her to write on Stevie's stuff. Christine added her keyboard part and arrangements to Stevie's songs and Stevie has said she contributed a line (
Oh Daddy) or made Lindsey sing back up with her on some of Christine's songs. She couldn't add to Christine's songs musically. That's about all the collaboration they were capable of, given their different talents.
