THE FIRST DRAFT OF THE FIRST CHAPTER OF PO4 IS DONE

#now to edit #ahhhhhh omg #po4 #photo op 4 #authorial rambles

a couple weeks after Morality Bites, a portal opens up in the attic and out stumbles a fatally-injured woman holding Piper's future daughter in her arms. "This is the only way she'll be safe," the woman says before dying, and Piper s left with the kid she knew for less than an hour. But this is still her child, and she's here in their time, so Piper ends up adopting her own daughter and in the process meets social worker Paige Matthews who is identical to the woman who brought Melinda to her

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! aaaaaaaaaa i love it. i think obvi there’d be like A really weird adjustment period bc melinda just got thrown ten years back in time so a) the way you thought the world was is super weird, tech’s not the same, school’s not the same, and all your friends are gone and b) your parents aren’t divorced bc they aren’t ever married yet they’re just like,, dating & everyones a decade younger and aunt prue isn’t blonde and we still talk to aunt phoebe like what?? and then on top of that piper’s what like 26?? with like an eight year old daughter?? so the energy with which piper and melinda’s relationship is regarded by the outside world has also shifted, which is probs not something an eight year old can vocalize but def something they’d notice. so that’s trippy for melinda. what’s trippy for the sisters is a) raising a daughter with magic. (we have no idea what melinda’s powers are in canon but as the eldest of the charmed next gen and the daughter of two powerful magical beings, we can assume she packs quite the punch) and b) finding the woman who would evidently die for them. bc like. why??? what was their relationship????? they literally held her in her arms as she died and they know nothing about her and now here she is again?? is she fated to die? is this their next innocent? okay, whatever, we’ll answer these question as they arise right now let’s just get her back to the manor where she’ll be safe woah What The Fuck is going on with the chandelier.

#alt version that isn't a power of four is paige stays on the fringes of their lives #but like never like integrates into the family #until someone dies (probably still prue)#and they sorta start end up bonding bc paige is like i've lost a lot of people close to me #blah blah blah and paige is like yeah i mean i never really knew my birth family so like losing them wasn't a huge deal #bc my adopted family loved me and raised me as their own #and when i lost them that felt like losing my real family #and phoebe's like did you ever find your biological family?#and paige is like no i never really looked i mean i wouldn't even know how to start #and piper's like i mean there have to be records or something right #and paige is like no it's this weird thing bc i was kinda just brought to a church and left with nuns like fresh after being born #my parents didn't even name me :/#and you know the sisters are like gosh that's weird #and phoebe's like i mean did they leave you anything (fully intending to scry for paige's long lost family)#and paige is like just this and pulls out the baby blanket and piper all but keels over #charmed #au #po4 #💌

Angus might be a full time Seeker getting information to the Reclaimers when he’s on the moon base. But, well, there are still mysteries to be solved the world over. And Angus isn’t always on the moon base.

Angus peers around the corner of the small stone outcropping concealing him. No one in sight. Now he just needs to make his move-

“Hey, Ango!” Magnus’s booming voice sounds, loud to the point of echoing, and completely blowing Angus’s cover.

Angus jumps, in the moment more startled cat than competent detective, and spins to see one Magnus Burnsides standing before him, his face painted with a dog’s nose and a spot around one eye, balloon string in one hand, and cotton candy in the other.

In Neverwinter. Not on the moon base.

“What are you doing here, sir?” Angus hisses, attempting to grab Magnus’s hand and tug the unmoving Magnus behind the outcropping as well. Suffice it to say, Angus doesn’t pass that strength check. Not that it would do much good; the space is fine to conceal a still fairly small boy of ten but nowhere near enough to conceal the moon base’s resident brick shithouse.

“Uh, going to the zoo? Just like you?” Magnus takes a bite of cotton candy.

“Yes, but-”

Angus is interrupted by a pop as Taako, armed with a souvenir cup shaped like the head of a griffin, Blinks back into the Prime Material Plane next to them. “Fancy seeing you here, Agnes,” Taako says, too casually, before taking a long, pointed sip from his souvenir cup, the sort of that’s loud and noisy and sucking up more air than beverage.

“You’re here t-”

“Finally!”

Angus’s question is interrupted by yet another familiar voice as Merle, indignant expression on his face, waddles up to them.

They’re definitely not fitting behind the outcropping now.
