These are links to the fanfics I have listed as my favorites at fanfiction.net and whose authors aren't members of this site, so their fics haven't been mentioned here yet. I'm including the author's description and also my own review, edited so it doesn't spoil what happens in the fic and so there's only one review per fic.
Most I was hoping for a sequel, but unfortunately, I came to ff.net late--after the show was ended and the authors have gone on to other things. But I still love these fics and highly recommend them to any Charmed fan:
"A Little Help to be Charmed Again" by Pendragon4Prue finds it is hard to help her sisters, especially when she's dead.Pendragon4 has all the characters down just right and I love the idea of getting to see Season Four through Prue's eyes! I truly wish she had written the rest of Charmed this way--it would've been fascinating!
"And Then There Were Three" by the weeping willowThe Halliwells thought it was just another day... until they meet the REAL Charmed Ones!An alternate-universe fic that was posted from November '02 to February '03 which disappointed me greatly, since I was pretty certain that the sequel that the weeping willow promises at the end wouldn't be written. I thoroughly enjoyed this one and would have loved to read more fics about the REAL Charmed Ones--ones who are of the Warren line, not the Halliwell one...
"Angel" by Silverstar03Prue is gone and Piper feels lost. Unlike what happened during "Charmed Again", she doesn't turn on Leo but turns to her guardian angel, who helps her through this time.I absolutely *love* this story! It makes me cry and cry and cry each time I read it. Although it doesn't follow the timeline of "Charmed Again", it shows what should've happened. Silverstar03 does such a fantastic job taking a song and making it fit Piper and Leo. This is truly what should have been--so much better than Piper blaming Leo for saving Prue rather than saving her--the start of the world revolving around her. If only...
"Blinded by the Witchlighter" by Princess PinkyA rewrite of Paige's wedding from “Engaged And Confused.”I can't say much about this one without spoiling all of the fun surprises. Let's just say that the way other fanfics have become fanon in my mind, this is how I'll always think of Paige's wedding, not the rush job that we saw during "Engaged and Confused."
"Charmed's 12 Days of Christmas" by KalenaA Charmed take on the 12 days of ChristmasROFLMAO! Just thinking of this fic makes me laugh again. I was looking for a Charmed Christmas fic and found this one and it totally fit the bill. If I'm having a bad day, I'll re-read this one and it always perks me back up.
"Following the Thread" by Ryeloza'"You've got to save the family, Chris." Chris tries to piece together the events that destroyed his family in order to save it.As most Charmed-fans know, I've always hated Season Six; it never made much sense to me, especially Chris. Like Ryeloza, I particularly hated what Chris did to Leo, turning our pacific angel into a murdering Elder, setting him up to become Piper's little errand boy, and ending up with me hating my favorite show. But fanfic writers have helped me love it again by writing Chris as he should've been written, and Ryeloza does a much, much better job than most of showing why Chris does what he does in S6. Best of all, she shows that Chris isn't the perfect hero he is in most fics...he screws up by being typically impatient Chris and not following his grandfather's advice of following the thread all the way back. And the irony of that screw-up makes for an ending few fans will see coming.
"Fourever Charmed" by Princess PinkyThis is a four-part rewrite of the Charmed series finale. It's my own version including characters such as Prue, Cole, Andy, and other series favorites.I wish that Princess Pinky had just summarized the parts that are the same as Charmed's finale and made her original stuff the major part of the fic, because they are tremendous--so much that should've been included--she uses an entire chapter to show us The Charmed Ones' futures and makes me wish that Charmed had done the same thing.
"Lonely Girls and Late Night Drives" by RyelozaWhat if Prue and Paige did meet before Prue died? A story of what could have been.This was the first of Ryeloza's marvelous fics that I read. She did an amazing job of writing both Prue and Paige and writing a scene that truly could've happened some time during Season Three. This one was recommended to me and after I read it, I had to read more of her stuff--the highest recommendation I can give.
"Out of the Blue" by namjaiWith Prue's secret no longer secret to him, Andy muses on what he never expected to learn about her -- and what was always constant.Nam Jai has Prue and Andy down perfectly and the little bits of Piper and Phoebe are so them, too. I can *so* see this happening to Andy just before he goes to meet Prue at the park again... It makes me love him and Prue even more than I did before.
"Paige's Christmas Angel" by astronomygirl85Songfic in the spirit of Christmas. After the party at P3, Paige gets a present and an unexpected visit from the sister she never met.This is a beautiful Christmas fic that brought tears to my eyes. I especially love Paige singing one of my favorite songs by my favorite group-I'd LOVE to hear Rose McGowan sing "Angels Among Us".
"The Stolen Child" by namjaiMelinda was lost, forever six years old in a future that would never happen. Then, when I found out about me, I finally understood our kinship.What happens when Changed-Future Chris turns 23--the day that Unchanged-Future Chris died? Nam Jai does a beautiful job of telling us just what happens on that momentuous day--and you'll swear it's Chris telling you the tale. Another fic I'll always count as fanon.
"The Ties That Bind' by scififantasychicThis story takes place immediately before "Oh, My Goddess" and assumes Chris had been in the past, laying the groundwork for his plans, for some time before actually "saving" Phoebe in the attic. We follow him through the hours leading up to his arrival.I'd met Scifi and fell in love with her fanfics on other sites, so when I first joined fanfiction.net, it was *so* nice to see the fanfic that originally made me think that maybe Chris wasn't such a bad guy after all. (I abhored him on the show, counting him as the True Big Bad of Charmed due to the way he changed his parents and his aunts) Scifi does such a fantastic job of getting into his character, explaining why he's the way he is, and what exactly happened when he was 14.
"There's Always a Choice" by magicmythAn alternative view of Cole's return. What would happen if the Charmed Ones questioned why they so desperately wanted to vanquish Cole.and decide to find another way.This fic reminds me a lot of S8 and how The Charmed Ones always thought they didn't have a choice in what they did, but more, it makes me think that had Connie Burge still been in control, this might have been how Season Five would've gone.
"Time" by RyelozaForty-five days: the length of time she’s been married.By the time I'd read this one, I knew how well Ryeloza writes vignettes--little scenes that could've been part of "Charmed" and weren't but probably should've been. Of all of the ones I read, this is my favorite because it's a story about my favorite Charmed character, Patty.
If anyone else wants to use this format to list their own favorite fics whose authors aren't part of this site, go for it!
