- Comments: She had written a very good series of AU fics starting in Season Five which had Cole meeting Olivia, a witch who he fell in love with. Olivia and her family is interesting and the stories has some Wiccan facts. It might be a little tricky to follow the timeline but it's there.
- YMMV-Between being beautiful, just right for Cole, and inheriting power that makes her as powerful as the Charmed Ones the central original character comes off as borderline Mary-suish.

- Comments: A Continuation Script Fic that delivers two more complete seasons. Amazing as it managed to continue the Post-Script Season in an enjoyable way and ties nicely into the finale. As expected not all of the 40+ scripts are equally good but the overall quality definitely makes reading both seasons worthwhile.
Stories focused on the family and the friendly relationships of the cast. Plot-focused stories or light day-in-the-life stories. Pretty much anything that isn't focused on romance.
The Last Charmed One

- Status: Complete
- Synopsis: At the end of Season 3, the Source wins. Leo remains trapped in the Underworld, Prue and Piper die at the hands of Shax, and Phoebe and Cole become the Underworld's new Most Wanted. Turning her grief to rage, Phoebe sets out on a quest to kill the Source of All Evil, no matter what it takes. With only a half-demon and a failing whitelighter for allies, and the entire Underworld set against her, her chances are slim. But Phoebe is determined, and willing to wring any advantage she can find or make out of the poor hand she's been dealt.
- Comments: A What If? scenario where Leo can't orb himself, Phoebe and Cole out of the underworld and things just spiral out of control. Now has a page

- Synopsis: The forgotten child has had enough and wants revenge on the family that has ignored him for so long. Who is he? What will he do? Read to find out. This takes place post Season Eight to future.
- Comments: This feels like that it can take place in the Charmed Universe. It showed the consequences of favoritism of one child just because you believe the other child could handle it. It is well written despite some editing errors. However, it is still very good.
- Fair warning in advance for out of character behavior. I can't see the main characters acting like this unless they're under some kind of spell, especially since part of the previous season character arc was this issue.

- Synopsis: The Halliwells have always had a hard time holding on to love. A new entry in the Book of Shadows tells them why and how to fix it! But what will be the consequences?
- Comments: This helps fix what was wrong in the later seasons that had The Charmed Ones focusing on themselves so much and helped them get back to being caring.
Why We Stay by minorshan
- Recommended by Kokoro Junnaya
- Status: Dormant
- Synopsis: Why do the people closest to the sisters, especially coworkers, who know nothing of magic, let them get away with the constant last minute excuses to ditch their responsibilities? They have their reasons. Maybe they're not as clueless as we all thought.
- Comments: Could easily be cannon and feels very in-character.
He Did It For Me by teal-lover
- Recommended by Kokoro Junnaya
- Synopsis: COMPLETE! Being twice blessed, Wyatt thought that nothing could ever hurt him. It's devastating to find out how wrong you can be. Takes place in the future that Chris changed.
- Comments: As is everything to do with time travel, it's a little confusing. But it's a wonderfully complex story with everyone mostly in-character, and it deals with the sister's treatment of Chris Perry.
Veritas Vos Liberabit by Shoequeeny

- Synopsis: Chris lies to everyone all the time. But, most of all, he lies to himself. (Set after Chris-Crossed. One-Shot.)
- Comments: A very good Chris Revelation fic.
Borrowed Time by Tv Manic 2
- Recommended by Kokoro Junnaya
- Status: Dead
- Synopsis: The mission is completed. Wyatt is good and the future is saved. All that's left is for Chris to enjoy his much-deserved Afterlife – all that's missing is his name on Death's List. A Chris-centric Changed Future fic set after the Season 6 finale.
- Comments: A truly under-appreciated fic with wonderful characterization, grammar, and plot twists. Changed Future and Chris-centric.
Home and Far Away by anenko
- Recommended by Mandichaos
- Status: Complete
- Synopsis: "This woman is not his mother, not yet." Episode tag to "The Courtship of Wyatt's Father," and Piper's reaction to the truth about Chris.
- Comments: A touching, in-character episode tag that should have been in the episode itself; it redeems what I thought was an underwhelming reaction shot in canon.

- Synopsis: "Nobody knows who Chris is but they’re about to find out, courtesy of an unexpected visitor from the future." A Chris-Revelation fic where the reveal comes from the last person you'd expect.
- Comments: This fic addresses several of what I thought were terrible plot holes in season 6 Where was Leo in all the future mess and WHY did he neglect Chris? Where were the Elders and other higher up good powers? Since this troper thought the whole thing with Leo never being around for Chris was kind of strange and out of character for Leo (how do you manage to take care of the world and your family EXCEPT the son you named after your father?), it was a welcome change to find a reasonable explanation of WHY. It has some really good Chris/Leo bonding scenes.
- Warning to Canon Purists: This fic IS AU in that Gideon is NOT the main threat to Wyatt, someone else is.
A Pair of Ragged Claws by Cunneware
- Status: Complete
- Recommended by Majorshane
- Synopsis: The Charmed Ones mistrust their new whitelighter from the future. But when a portal catapults a mysterious stranger from the future into their midst, they experience a side of him none has ever imagined. A chris!revelation fic.
- Comments: This story presents an alternate ending to the Gidion arc that IMHO is better than the series. It examines Chris's motivation and drive and makes him far more competent and 3 dimensional than in the series. It is a truly great read that I cannot recommend enough. 7/5 stars!! The story is complete.

- Synopsis: When the war first started Chris Halliwell had a hope, no matter how small, that he could somehow win it. That was almost a decade ago. Now the only chance left is his desperate plan to travel into the past. A place where his family is less than helpful and shadows from the future are racing to catch up with him. S6 from Chris's perspective. Canon divergence after 6x15.
- Comments: A fantastic ongoing fic that really fleshes out Chris' characterisation, as well as the future world he came from. Builds well on things touched on in canon.
None Yet.
Stories that focus on alternate realities, universes, or canon but related or rooted in the Charmed universe.
Triquetra (As Wicca as They Come)
- Created/Recommended by thewriter
- Status: Dormant
- Synopsis: Rooted in an episode of Charmed in which Phoebe Halliwell in an Alternate Future uses her power to kill a murderer and accidentally reveals witchcraft to the world, Triquetra is set in the year 2025 in a world where witches are burned at the stake and demons are slowly encroaching upon the mortal world. The shattered prophecy of the Power of Three is restored in a new generation of Halliwells. Triquetra blends Charmed's supernatural format with classic Sci-Fi to create something entirely new. It has new characters: Melinda Halliwell-Wyatt, Warren Jacobsen, PH-383, and Archer, as well as an old one, Gideon.

- Synopsis: Voldemort begins to seek a new power from the Wiccan World in an attempt to kill Harry. Dumbledore enlists the help of witches Chris and Wyatt Halliwell to protect Harry and fight in the oncoming war. Charmed X Harry Potter Crossover. 1st in The Fated Series.
- Comments: Possibly the best Harry Potter/Charmed crossover ever. It takes a few chapters to really get started, but this author manages to keep everyone relatively in-character and has very witty dialogue. It's set in the Changed Future, with Wyatt and Chris as teenagers. In-progess.

- Crossover: Smallville
- Synopsis: When Prue vanquishes Shax with a completely different power everyone wonders how she got it?
- Comments: A unique combination of Smallville and Charmed with the unique story twist of Prue being saved from her canonical death because she had sex with Clark Kent while the two of them were basically high (Prue on Pride and Clark on red kryptonite). As a result, Prue becomes pregnant with witch/Kryptonian hybrids, bringing the worlds of magic and aliens together in a fascinating manner (to say nothing of Paige coming into the sisters' lives when she becomes Clark's neighbour and Cole being spared his canon death).
