Title Drop/Fan Works

Examples of Title Drops in Fan Works include:

The Teraverse fic It's Just A Habit, in which a superheroine nun explains that she has not adopted a comic-book superheroine style codename... and as for that so-called 'nun costume'? "It's just a habit."
John Freeman got on his motorcycle and said "its time for me to live up to my family name and face full life consequences"
The Invader Zim story "In Short Supply" features one in Chapter 29, when Red muses that "even for the Control Brains, information about Purple was in short supply." The title is actually supposed to be a pun on the Irkens' height-based society, though, and how Irkens of certain heights are much rarer than they should be.
The Firefly fic Forward drops its title at the end of the "Mosaic" story arc, with Mal telling River what direction they have to keep going in.
There is a stuble one in Kira Is Justice: When Justin decides to experiment with the Death Note, one of the victims yell out the words, "Kira is justice!" in a prison cafeteria before dropping dead. It is very amusing.
In the Sonic the Hedgehog fanfiction Created Equal, the speech Metal Sonic gave after Eggman's death

"Flesh and blood have no purpose in this place. God made all men equal and men destroyed their gods. A man created me to be equal and I have destroyed that man. I laid waste to his empire of dust. Now I rule the empire of dust. And I will lay hands on that dust and create my own posterity. And I shall hold them to my single inglorious propositon; all robots are not Created Equal..."

In Fantendo: Playing War, before Sandslash transforms into Sandsmash and is consequently knocked out, Sunnyscythe utters "Let's play war...". There's actually a couple more of these, another by Sunnyscythe and yet another by Fantasma.
Ensign Sue must die!
