Creator's Summary: Timelords are related to phoenixes, that is why they may have feathers and wings, bird species can vary. Seven has owl wings but they are very small and he hides them under clothes. Also he has feathers on his ears!
Characters/Pairings: Seventh Doctor
Warnings/Notes: none

Reasons for reccing: This is my first rec for the TV Tropes Challenge. As soon as I got randomly assigned the trope Owls Ask "Who?" (and had a good laugh at the accidental aptness), I knew I had to rec something by GrafEdelweiss, who loves to picture Seven as a little owl. I could've recommended her amazing fic and artbook The Light of Neustern for this (on a planet where everyone outside the aristocracy wears animal masks, Seven's is naturally an owl), but I just did, so I thought of this adorable little AU portrait in such a lovely warm style. It's worth a look at this and GrafEdelweiss' other work if you love the Seventh Doctor!

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!
