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.
Fan Fiction II: Great story! Where's the sequel?
This thread is for fanfic recs, links, and discussion, but not for actual posting of fanfic.
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.
Whereas I've never heard a FOB song, much less paid attention to titles or lyrics. Not only is there no resonance for me, I'm fairly likely to be confused. I get it when it's a canon-likely choice, but FOB might as well be Iggy Azalea as Tuvan throat singers to me.
I wonder if I've bookmarked any so I can point to examples, if just because Jilli would laugh and laugh and laugh. (We don't have a lot of MCU overlap in our reading, tragically, so I'm not sure she'd have seen them already.)
And... nope. Haven't.
Have a lot of private bookmarks that had me go, "Oh, god. Right. That one. Yeah."
Consuela, it turns out the one fic that I most strongly suspected was yours, isn't. Gone to Vinegar was on my short list of suspects but it wasn't the one I was willing to lay folding money on. So I was wrong. On the other hand, I now have a new author to enjoy. (I don't read Narnia fic as voraciously as I do some other fandoms. I cherish the canon so, that I am very particular about what fanfic I read.)
ETA: Or maybe not. However well-written that one piece is, the author seems to go for more smut in Narnia than I am prepared for.
I've always had my suspicions about Mr. Tumnis.
Randy old goat, for sure, but as long as he's not scaring the ...
I should just stop now, shouldn't I?

Hah! That happens. I'm generally really bad at guessing those, so I don't usually try.
But if one of the writers you've discovered is Rthstewart, she's really good. I especially recommend The Stone Gryphon, which is about Susan being a spy in Washington DC in the early part of WWII. It's very good.
I also recommend Elizabeth Culmer if you have any interest in the Calormenes, she does marvelous world-building there. And, of course, Bedlamsbard, for epic stories about the Pevensies as very dangerous adults.
I just went to a Susan Pevensie meets Peggy Carter place.
Funny you should say that... [link]
Ooh, thank for the recs, Consuela.
Connie, Susan would be an absolutely perfect candidate for SHIELD - no family to speak of and experience levels that are out of this world. Also I'd pay to see her being underimpressed by Loki's godlikeness. (I know, wrong time period, but a girl can dream.)
