Ah ha! That one was on my short list of "fics well-written enough that they could be Cofax's". Of course, you will have to take my word for it. And I am not quite brave enough to start spitting out the rest of my guesses. I think I'm thinking about it too much.
Damn you, Bridget! Damn you to Hades! You broke my heart in a million pieces! You made me love you, and then you-- I SHAVED MY BEARD FOR YOU, DEVIL WOMAN!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I hate summaries. Panicked and last minute, I succumbed to "In a world"-ness with one of mine and used four successive questions: "Can they overcome the past and be triumphant?" sort of thing. A wag on the anonymeme wanted to know, "Is it a quiz? Will there be extra credit?"
I do better summarizing and titling work I beta than I do my own.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I always use quotes. Titles are hard enough to come up with.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
Yeah, quotes are pretty much what I pull out.
Titles still wind up defaulting to song lyrics, for which I APOLOGIZE.
Which reminds me, I shouldn't be judging people for titling things with Fall Out Boy lyrics, yet I do. Because I'm a huge hypocrite who both uses lyrics as title defaults AND knows where the semi-obscure lyrics came from. SO.
Thirty lashings with a wet noodle to me, I guess.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Those have me more likely to click because I've likely incurred a pleasant ear worm and I find it funny. Especially when I'm curious how the fandoms intersected.

EXACTLY.
Also, considering I know what fandom you're reading in right now, the idea of someone using FOB lyrics for titles is comedy gold.

Oh my fucking god, so many FOB lyrics. And a few good FOB vids. Like War Paint (Winter Soldier vid to The Phoenix).

Because books.
I've used FOB lyrics on a bunch of Dean/Castiel stories, which amuses me because Dean would barf.

I wouldn't recognize FOB lyrics if they gnawed on my knee.

I've only noticed all of the Florence + the Machine song title/lyrics for fic titles as a standout go-to source (at least as of a year or so ago). I do get occasionally earwormed by a fic title, and it's especially annoying if it causes me to avoid a fic I otherwise wouldn't have because of bad associations with a certain song.
