Title help needed, if you'd be so kind

[lomonaaeren]

The trilogy I'm writing now originally had the titles 'A Potion Named Desire,' 'An Intellectual Discontent,' and 'A More Worldly Man' for its individual parts. However, then I chose the series title 'An Intellectual Love Affair,' which means I want to change the second story's title, so as not to get them mixed up.

Problems:

1) I have fuck-all idea what title I want to use now.
2) ...That's it, really.

I still like the word 'Discontent,' but have no idea what it should be paired with. I've never had so much trouble titling a story. Any ideas? The middle story of the series is about Harry and Draco marketing a powerful potion, the Ministry getting on their asses about said powerful potion, and Harry beginning to realize that he's more attracted to Draco than the kind of nice, quiet witch he'd ordinarily be interested in looking for.

I had the same idea as serena423. Depending on which applies better, either "Summer of Discontent" (meaning at the height of complications), or "Winter of Discontent" (meaning that troubled times are almost over). Since this is the middle of the trilogy, maybe the first would work better.

Or, from Ella Wheeler Wilcox:
"The splendid discontent of God With Chaos, made the world;
And from the discontent of man The world's best progress springs”

You could call it Splendid Discontent.

I haven't started this series yet, either. I've found I get a little... obsessive, about checking for updates. For my own peace of mind, I've stopped reading your stories until you post the epilogue. It's only because you're so damn good!

I've gone with 'An Alchemical Discontent.' But I think I'll be calling a future story Splendor.

Thank you!
