The Leonard Cohen Title Challenge (Any Freaking Song but Hallelujah) - Rules

Welcome to the Leonard Cohen Title Challenge! Motivated by this hilarious post on Tumblr involving Hallelujah lyrics as fic titles and [personal profile] musesfool saying that "Leonard Cohen has many, many other songs worth mining for titles."

This challenge is what it says on the tin: write fic, give fic a title using a Leonard Cohen song, any Leonard Cohen song. Any freaking song but Hallelujah.

The rules are simple: you have to use something from a song or poem written by Leonard Cohen for your title, but you can't use Hallelujah. Not the title, not the lyrics. None of it. Once you've written and posted, drop a link in the fills post and/or add it to the hall_no collection on AO3.

If you have an existing story that fits the bill, go ahead and add it to Leonard Cohen Titles (Any Freaking Song but "Hallelujah")! (We had a request for that.)
