It kind of feels like nothing's really changed. Everything's changed.

Oh no, why did you have to go and come up with that idea! Pairing up Cole and Chris would. be. epic. When you put it that way, Cole really did deserve better. What I also loved about Chris, like you kind of mentioned, he really wasn't following the complete, pure good ideal. Like, we saw him interacting civilly with other creatures and having connections with demons. They're just really well thought out characters tbh. And hey, I won't complain about you writing it. Cole + Chris + fic, go <3 -K

On a different note, does Wyatt and Chris kind of remind you of Scott and Stile’s dynamic. Wyatt the sweet , innocent-like brother and Chris, the clever sarcastic one? Not sure though, talking about it made me think of that. Oh, also, I always believed Chris still remembered his time with the sisters when he tried to save Wyatt. It’s something I firmly believe in but wanted to know what your thoughts on that was. -K

Starting with your last bit first… I seriously hope so. The end of Chris’ arc… and I feel like I don’t want to be too specific in case anyone’s reading who hasn’t watched it yet (in which case, just go to Netflix and watch s6 of Charmed and then come talk to me because it’s awesome). But the end of his arc is so unbelievably tragic and heartbreaking and I know we see him again later but it was always so bittersweet to me because it wasn’t really him, was it?

And now I’m going to go blow all subtlety out of the water so stop reading if you want to watch and be surprised, but it’s like if Derek went back in time to stop the fire and succeeded. And in a way that’s wonderful because we know Derek would want that more than anything, that he would give anything in the world to be able to have his family alive and well… but it’s also tragic because the Derek that got to live happily ever after with his family wouldn’t be our Derek. It’s a sacrifice he’d make willingly, happily, but he and everything he became, everything he struggled through and suffered through and the beautiful, strong, heroic man we all love would die, would cease to exist, in the process.

So I need to believe that Chris remembers. That everything that he was and everything that he went through wasn’t just erased. That maybe when he reached the age he was when he died the alternate memories started filtering back into him (because as much as I want our Chris to live on, the idea of him having those traumatizing memories as a child is not a pleasant one). So now he remembers both lives, but with the grounding perspective from his happy lifetime to keep him from becoming bitter over it.

As for Chris & Wyatt = Stiles & Scott… I’ve been thinking of Chris more as Derek than Stiles. Like, if I was going to write a Charmed TW!AU for that era I’d probably assign Derek Chris’ role (though I don’t know who I’d make Stiles then, don’t ask :P). But a lot of that’s based on the parallels in their situations –– dark past, dead family, evil family member they used to be close to, trying to get the heroes to take the situation seriously while they’re too busy worrying about dating and school/work. But if we’re talking about happy alt!timeline Chris and Wyatt (who I don’t remember as well) then Stiles and Scott might match up pretty well. Wyatt’s also the superpowered “chosen hero” and whatnot, which parallels True Alpha pretty well, with Chris growing up as his slightly overlooked sidekick who has to rely more on his wits.
