Thank you all for the wonderful feedback! It was so lovely to read everyone's take on this story. Iceland was indeed a random locale but Star is also random so I figured I'd give it a go and see what happened.
To be honest, when I first read the wants and don't wants, I was at a loss on how to begin. I don't have any experience to speak of writing stories that are not saturated with angst, so I was stressing about how in the world I could pull this off. My spouse and I had a two week holiday in Iceland while the ficathon was happening. While we were there, neither of us could find our go-to drinks. Everywhere we stopped, we were searching for them and that got me to thinking about Lois visiting somewhere DFCBs were not available. From there, the story wrote itself as I recalled some of our favorite places while we were there.
Thank you again for your comments and taking time to read this little tale.
With gratitude,
Purple
