why are titles. what is alliteration

Usually I find myself editing ridiculously extended strings of alliteration out of my fics because, while it's fun when my brain falls down one of those rabbitholes and a kick when it seems to happen with no effort, the end result is usually kind of clownesque. Now I've been trying and failing to come up with an alliterative title for a teeny tiny ficlet for over two weeks, and nothing.

Having an existing naming scheme to mimic should be easier than the normal kind of title (which exists solely to thwart me, personally). Legends and Lattes. Bookshops and Bonedust. ............... and ...............

It's only two words, brain! Just two!! We both know you can do this, so why aren't you?

Gah.




Edit for posterity: It took me until the 28th of Februari. T3T
