titles in search of stories

[aesc]

I was flipping through the Notebook looking for something completely unrelated to fic (for the curious, a bunch of references for a research project that I had written in the Notebook because I didn't have any other paper with me), and I came across a few titles with absolutely no context or story ideas. And I am befuddled, because clearly I meant to do something with them, and there may indeed have been ideas connected with them originally, but I got distracted or something and now... they're simply there.

A Verb for Ascent (J/R)
Clearly a John/Rodney story (duh), and it's a while back in the Notebook. It just appears after a set of scribbled invective demanding to know why the hell I couldn't get another story (my sgabigbang fic, heh) to work.

The Hidden Land
No clue, except the title is from a Flecktones album. It's definitely SGA, because it appears some ways back and the SPN stuff doesn't start until recently, but I know nothing beyond that.

A Slightly Odd Man with Enormous Wings
Castiel story, because the title is adapted from Gabriel Garcia Márquez's short story "A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings," but what I meant to do with it, if anything, is still a mystery.

This Island Life
Okay, it's from the Violent Femmes. And?

Old evil spirit (take that Greyhound bus and ride)
I think this is SPN, mostly because the title is a line from Robert Johnson's "Me and the Devil Blues." Then again, I might just have written down the line because I like it a lot.


I am willing to entertain suggestions as to what to do with these. Cos I've got nothing.

Yeah; I'd be constantly standing in the surf going "Yep, water temperature is optimal... but perhaps I need to walk a bit further down to make sure the shore isn't in a freaky state of flux"
