Title: One Soldier's Story
Creator:
Shivver
Rating: General Audiences
Word Count/Length/Size: 5576 words
Creator's Summary: Swept into a war with no foreseeable end, Acassa lives the life of just another faceless soldier.
Characters/Pairings: Sixth Doctor, Peri Brown, Original Character
Warnings/Notes: No warnings apply
Reasons for reccing: This is for my Fandom Character Surprise assignment of Peri Brown. Peri got short shrift in canon, but those of us who paid attention (and listened to Big Finish audios) come to love her for her dogged determination and her absolute unwillingness to ever give up hope. She's not brilliant, but she certainly is brave and kind-hearted, and she makes connections. All of this is evident in this story. It's an outsider POV story that reads like an episode. Two planets at each others' throats in a manufactured war. Left on her own, it's up to Peri to find an ally to finish the plan that she and the Doctor started. All of this on the edges of the story of one lowly soldier who can stop it all, but not if she doesn't know what is going on.
