Greetings, delicious friends!
For a sort of personal, er, "project" of mine, I'm making a comprehensive list of known definitions of Correspondence signs. That is, the definitions of as many Correspondence sigils as possible combined into a handy little list.
Of course, this is a nearly insurmountable task for me, what with me being relatively new, and the amount of given definitions presumably numbering in the dozens, if not hundreds. So, I came up with the brilliant idea of enlisting you, fellow Londoners.
I'll keep personal records, and I'll also maintain a list on this page here, I've already got a handful, but it's not much. I prefer suggestions to be quoted as directly as possible from Fallen London. (Also, can someone tell me how to make a spoiler so I can put this list in a little openable folder instead of having it clog up the page?)
List: [spoiler]
- The absence of breath
- The absorption of a royal house
- The act of drowning your sister to be with the man she loves although you do not share that love
- The act of kidnapping a new friend
- An airless flight
- Bad-tempered gas
- A day that lasts then thousand years
- Death by water
- A decomposing deity
- An emotion somewhere between love and academic excitement
- To eternally circle the object of your affection
- An exchange that is both monstrous and scrupulously honest
- A fortuitous occassion for the revision of plans of murder
- A future consumed and forgotten
- A generous gift of murder
- A gift to remind a woman of something best forgotten
- A great maw to dispose of the unwary
- A/The hateful priest, whose lust killed thousands
- Hurtling forever towards the earth
- Innocent garbed as experience
- An interval of between a thousand and ten thousand years
- Lost in a night which never sees starlight (How poetic)
- The mounting excitement when one's beloved reaches the closest point of his orbit
- A path unmarred by obstacles
- A place deep underneath to hide sins and secrets
- A process that can only take place behind a mirror, by which stone becomes wood and woode becomes stone, in which petrification and lignification are opposed but complimentary and dynamic forces
- Revenge in the sense of a cataclysmic collision
- A request to never repeat a recent unpleasant experience
- A sentiment that is chiefly curiosity but is experienced as infatuation
- A span of time greater than four million years
- A trade involving a labyrinth
- A thing which is empty, whose purpose is to be filled
- A willing sacrifice
[/spoiler]

I am unsure whether this helps your cause, but you are not the first one to attempt this.

This is a fairly large list of in-game Correspondence, sadly, without citations. Make of it whatever you may.
P.S. you make a spoiler by typing out [spoiler7]SPOILERS GO HERE[/spoiler7], but without the Number.

Thank you very much, Vavakx. The list is shorter than I would have hoped,but at least it means I have work to do. Bring me paper! No, not paper! Bring me lead! Lead and a chisel!
