A fic title meme taken from
adriennefae!
Just scrolling backwards chronologically through my AO3 to see if anything sparks my memory because I'm pretty sure sometimes I steal song lyrics without realizing it--
01. wasn't it yesterday
Fandom: Six of Crows (Jasper & Inej)

Song: "Space Oddity" by David Bowie
03. may angels watch me through the night
Fandom: MCU (Tony/Thor, AU)
Song: Okay this is from a prayer ("Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep") but parts of it are used in a lot of modern songs so I feel like it counts. An honorary song.
04. the most wonderful time of the year
Fandom: MCU (Tony/Thor, AU)
Song: "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" by Andy Williams
05. make a dragon wanna retire, man

(Okay I'm laughing out loud right now all these Tony/Thor fics are from an AU challenge I did for NaNoWriMo several years ago, the Bruno Mars one is a firefighter AU, the Christmas one is a Hallmark movie Christmas bake-off, the AC/DC was a rock band AU, and so on. All I do is steal songs from musicals!!)

11. in the dark I can hear your heartbeat
Fandom: MCU (Tony/Thor, AU)
Song: "Cosmic Love" by Florence and The Machine
(Another honorable mention here to the title I took from Keats' "Isabella, or the Pot of Basil", followed closely by a title stolen from Star Trek and another as a joke on "Who Let the Dogs Out", truly I shouldn't be allowed to title fics.)

27. you're burning up the quarter mile
Fandom: MCU (Steve/Tony)
Song: "Greased Lightnin’" from Grease
(One of the first fics I ever posted on AO3... I see stealing lines from musicals is just me returning to my roots! Oh, how all things come full circle in life. A fact I stole from "Circle of Life" from The Lion King.)
Anyway holy shit that was a lot more than I expected, and that doesn't even include stuff pre-AO3 on LiveJournal and FF.net and such sjhdfksjds. This was enlightening in a terrible way, I didn't realize I did this so much lmao. But yeah, anyone who writes fic feel free to take this meme, may you also be enlightened by what you discover!

In more recent fanfic news, reveals have occurred for
fluffityfluffexchange! I ended up claiming a pinch hit in addition to my original assignment, so I got to write two fics :D Both recipients left lovely comments and it was a lot of fun working on them because I went for two fandoms I'd not written any fic for before.
take my hand (now and forever) (Hades game, Thanatos/Zagreus) - AO3 or DW
Five times Thanatos watches out for Zagreus, and one time Zagreus does the same for him.
Renewals (Captive Prince, Ancel/Berenger) - AO3 or DW
Ancel liked to be pampered. Berenger liked to pamper him. It was an arrangement that worked out well.
Bonus points for the above meme, the Hades fic is also a song lyric title lol. The fic I got in exchange was also a Captive Prince fic, an Auguste-lives AU with a Damen/Laurent proposal and it was sooo cute!! I love me a stupid-fluffy-everything-is-good-actually AU 🥰
A Question Before a Question by
chalk
Laurent and Damen have a private talk after Laurent finds Damen practicing with Auguste. There are details about their friendship that Auguste doesn’t need to know about, and Laurent plans to keep it that way. Damen, however, has something else in mind.
Title Tag Game Rules: write out any fic titles you have that are based off of lyrics, list what songs they're from, and tag some writers.

I think I’ll snag this, though I have a feeling I mangle most of the lyrics before they make it to the title.
no subject
No reason titles inspired by lyrics can't make it on the meme! I say go ahead and include them anyway haha
