Creator's Summary: Neustern is an ideal world made for ideal people. Trees with glass-like leaves, nice houses, young and beautiful faces... and invisible labor of those who are not beautiful enough. Helping the servants and searching the source of strange energy the Doctor and Ace will meet not only narcissistic Neusternians, but also the one who created this 'paradise'.
Characters/Pairings: Seventh Doctor, Ace McShane, original characters
Warnings/Notes: none
Reasons for reccing: This is a truly wonderful story that deserves so much more attention. The Doctor and Ace go undercover as servants on Neustern, a world of arrogant, self-obsessed genetically engineered super-people, but they find (of course) that the planet holds even more secrets than they expected.
I'm someone who's often put off by screenplay format, but the character voices and descriptions in this story are so vivid that it's like reading a script from the show itself, and the artbook is gorgeous. The worldbuilding is detailed and memorable, and two of the original characters in particular--I won't say which, because there's a twist--make me wish this was an official story so they could have their own Big Finish spinoff.
If you read Russian, or have a lot of patience for Google Translate, check out the original fic, В сиянии Новой звезды, as well!
