I'd probably be so pleased with myself for coming up with the mirror-Jo and the duck that I wouldn't be thinking much further than that - you are a more conscientious man than I.
And yes, I know what you mean about fitting bits of story together. I'm a bit the same when it comes to plots - I tend to wing it something awful, as well as foolhardily posting parts of things before the later bits are finished. You may notice in my multi-chapter fics that the chapters get longer and longer towards the end sometimes. That's me wriggling and manoeuvring desperately to get where I think I'm going after veering off on various tangents along the way... And I know all too well what that brick wall feels like, too.
Anyway, I hope you eventually manage to resurrect those and do something with them that you're pleased with. I suppose the trick would be getting your future self to leave you instructions on how to fix things. ;)
