Wowsa! That's quite the fic list... I'm almost tempted to try this myself.

::snickering:: It's a terrifying list, but it did give me aspirations to write even stranger titles....

K, V, X, Y, and you're working on Z....

Kilt, Not Skirt
Ventricular Arrhythmia
Xanadu's Broken Columns
Yesterday's Shadow

::laughing:: Kilt, Not Skirt sounds like Connor. I don't even know... wait, yes, I do know what Ventricular Arrhythmia. Ech. Ventricular Tachicardia.... Xanadu's Broken Columns? No clue. Yesterday's Shadow... hmmm. You put shadows where I could play with them!

Well, making up evocative titles without knowing the stories is pretty likely to be more miss than hit, but "In Xanadu did Kubla Khan a stately pleasure dome...." I was thinking of Alexander's drunken destruction of Perseopolis (IIRC), and memories of witnesses and stuff.

Knives at Dawn
Vendetta
Violated
Violets in the Spring
X marks the Spot
Year after Year
Yesterday
Yearning
Zabaglione
Zenith
Zodiac

A lot are just single words, but I notice that that is true for many of your titles. I even have moods for some of these, although no full grown (or even embryonic) plot bunnies. Having said that, some are being conceived as I write so if you want to know more about them, just ask!

Oooh, I love Knives at Dawn. Violets in the Spring has the potential to be depressing, somehow. X Marks the Spot is a favorite == you're the second to suggest it. ::giggling:: I'm now writing Capt. Sparrow, either!

Oh yes, Violets in the Spring is melancholy. A period piece - 1920s. Lamppost, light rain, dusk.

And I realised it was triggered in the recesses of my mind by a line by a favourite old lady customer at my mum's work. They were discussing the modern trend for roses as corsages.

"Of course, when *I* was a deb, we wore violets on our fur coat." (deb = debutante)

Knives at Dawn was a 'duel with a difference' in my head.
Vendetta is a sharp piece. Potentially nasty, but not as much as Violated (you don't want to be writing that one. It's not sexual, but it's still ick.) Possibly a follow on from Sirroco in some way.
Of *course* X marks the spot is Captain Jack Sparrow!
Year after Year was bittersweet but uplifting. A Renewal type piece.
Yearning too. Possibly a Methos one. What *does* the old one yearn for? He is too old to admit it, but there is still something I am sure.
Zabaglione has to be a fun piece. Possibly Amanda.

The others were just words from the dictionary.

I'm just fascinated that I actually *had* moods or mini bunnies, being so much *not* a Writer. And of course, they would be different ones to what someone else would see.
