Oh, I'm a shameless song-title thief. And I stuff song lyrics in my fics, too, and it's horribly self-indulgent, and I'll never stop doing it. When I'm in the nursing home, I can reread my fics (providing I can still see them), and I'll remember all of the songs I listened to while writing.

A Thousand Beautiful Things is a song by Annie Lennox.
Waters of March is a song by Tom Jobim (well, that's the English translation from the Portuguese). All of the chapters in that fic have names from lyrics in that song.

I have a horrible time remembering one word titles, especially if it's an emotion or a general concept. And I even used one - Chaining - but that was my first, so...

Some words just filter away into brainless-land. Dissipation and Despair is one of my favorite fics, and I have to stop and look up the title nearly every time I mention it. But I finally know how to spell despair.

I'm more tempted to read fics with clever, long names.

BTW, I recently friended you - Hi - and I'm a transplanted Michigander (Livonia, to be exact).
