writing and naming

[vaznetti]

Later today (my today, here in the UK) I'll be posting the second part of Xú Landing, and that will bring the first arc of the story to a conclusion and set up the next one. Right now I think that there will be two more story arcs, but that's subject to change as I write the damn thing. But since it's moving away from the episodic, the whole thing needs a name, and since I am notoriously crap at naming things, I'm throwing this open to suggestions. (Of course, I'm also crap at taking advice, but never mind that.) What I think I want is something from Jeffrey Foucault's Miles from the Lightning; the lyrics are here. I'm just not sure what I want there, and whether or not I'm crazy. Suggestions and criticism welcome.

(The song is available via the artist's website. I like it.)

There've been lots of storms and thunders in both lives - John and Zoe's; and yet they're still going on, maybe apparently just surviving, buyt both characters are too strong to really just survive, there's still something in them fighting, I think. That's why that line jumped out at me :D
I tend towards shorter titles, whereas I've noticed, at least in SPN, don't know if it's amore recent fandom/pro writing trend, longer titles are the majority.
In any case, glad you like the line :)

I decided to go with "Blessings against the Thunder" -- I'm hoping that it will remind me that this piece is going to have a happy ending! Because yes, there have been a lot of storms in both their lives, but they're still standing, and I'll make that worth something, by the end.
