no writing tonight, for no good reason at all except that writing is scary. how does this never change no matter how much I succeed?
I have been amassing potential titles--not just for this story, at this point, but for any fic I might ever write, because titles are HARD--and my current "I need to write something so I can use this" favorite is 'So quietly to catch', which I did actually toss around for a second as a possible for this fic but it's almost as bad as the first idea I had for being just way, way too Serious And About Grief And Also Serious, just...so inappropriate. This story is not up to that caliber! Not just because it's a fifteen page sex scene slightly bookended by feelings, but because I'm allowing myself to be extremely lazy with my usual concerns. If it makes me happy, it goes in, even if it's not the best or most thoughtful or most interesting or most justified choice.
some other entries so far in the possible-titles-for-something file:
Houses of whose rooms [actually this one is in use, if I ever ever finish it, it's a Charles/Erik fic featuring yet another variation on consensual but SO UNHEALTHY nonconsent, sort of, in the other direction this time...sort of]
We shall only know the blessing
What the living do
As often as from thee I go
When they have eyes for me
Old proof of a clear conscience [I can't find this one online--it's from "Geometrical Place" by Günter Eich, tr. David Young]
So mark our shapes [also an XMFC fic in the making, I just can't pin down exactly what. Or possibly it should be an XMM-in-general vid.]
I need to start reading things besides poetry, I think. Some sciencey titles would be nice. What would also be nice: if I could stop getting new story ideas, because I'm kind of full up at the moment, thanks all the same.
