titles in search of stories

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 [livejournal.com profile] 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.

Ha ha, and you should totally write it, you're kicking ass with the thing goddam!

I... I am tempted, but there is physics homework and then there are all the things I have overdue for Sweet Charity, still. *mopes* And I told myself I wouldn't do anything else until I finished those.

Haha, somehow it does not seem like I am breaking the rules if I only comment-fic, but if I were to post something in my journal, THEN I would be breaking the rules. XD

The rules were made to be broken :D
