Life Viewed Through an Amber Focus

I didn't even know you could do that. *sighs*. I was meaning to just keep the most recent few pages and delete everything else. *grumbles*. Oh, well, it needed to be cleaned out. It had 1400 messages in it, so I haven't been erasing them for a long time. Probably since summer. Bad LJ housekeeping, I know. Oh, well.

I am spending the day writing today. I was going to write last night but I ended up with a cluster headache behind my left eye so I simply went to bed early. I fell asleep with my laptop running and all of my programs open, too. Fortunately I'd saved everything I'd been working on previously. I hope I get something done today and don't start procrastinating, but I had a restless night so concentration may not be at its best. I have ideas in my head and dialogue aching to come out, but it is so gorgeous out and there are baby ducks and chicks outside.

I'm procrastinating so I thought I may as well offer up some drabbles, ladychi style.  But I'll put a number limit on it.  First ten people to leave a pairing and a one word prompt will get a drabble.  I might do more if I happen to get more, but I only promise the first ten.  Because I am being brave (or possibly crazy) I will write in fandoms in addition to DW.

For DW fandom, Doctor/Rose (any version), Mickey/Martha, Donna Noble, or Jackie/Pete.

For Fringe fandom, Peter/Olivia, Astrid, Walter.

For The Vampire Diaries fandom, Damon/Elena or Caroline/Matt.

For Eureka fandom, Zane/Jo or Fargo/Jo or Jack Carter/Allison Blake.

For Castle fandom, Richard Castle/Kate Beckett or a Castle and Alexis father daughter prompt.

Also, does anyone know where I can buy maltose (malt sugar)?  Like does a regular grocery store have it?  I want to make homemade char sui sauce because all the store bought stuff has red food coloring (and other crap) in it and we can't have that with T's allergies.  I found a fabulous looking recipe, but if I need to go to an Asian food market I'd like to be pointed in that direction.
