Changing the Circumstances

by luvforsawyer

Formerly titled Fathers and Sons. Chris came back to save not just Wyatt, but his family. Slight AU. See notes in the first chapter. Rating upped for language.

1. Introduction

This story popped into my head and probably could use a little set-up, so here goes.

Basic summary: Chris traveled back in time to save his family, not just Wyatt. Wyatt's turn to evil is a tragic consequence of events. Events that Chris blames Leo for.

Warnings: This is only my second Charmed fanfic and the first with an original character. That being said, bear with me and feel free to offer (constructive) criticism if the character's a bit Mary-Sue or any characters seem out-of-character.

Pairings: Piper/Leo, mentions of Paige/Henry and Phoebe/Coop, brief mention of Chris/Bianca

Time frame: Set after Leo and Piper have learned Chris is their son, but aside from that, it's fairly AU (alternate universe)—meaning no Gideon and Wyatt's turning happens after Chris's birth (several years after).

Last thing: The original character's name, Lina (short for Melinda), is supposed to be pronounced LYNN-uh. There's an explanation for the unusual nickname in the story.
