I need help naming a new story
#1
Sense my current story's notes are nuked and it will take me forever to rewrite everything....I stared a new one. Something wildly shifted in tone.
I spent the last like two days getting the first chapter written and edited, but I have no idea what to name it. So I'll ask you lot to help.
Basic concept. After thousands upon thousands of years of being reborn to battle each other, The Demon Lord and the Hero (reborn as a princess) decide to just run away from their ancient battle to do literally anything else for once.
Title that came to my mind is...
Demon Lord Abandon's Main Quest (joke is his name is Abandon)
But I'm not sure I want to even bother with Game Lit style stuff.
so yeah. Any ideas?

I'm sick of this endless tale of the Demon Lord and the Hero: have we eloped?

Do they run away together or do they just separate? Either way, depending on who is the focus I’d go with
The hero’s vacation
A demon’s vacation
New life, who dis?
Seperating ways
My duty was a lost cause
Looking for a new occupation, the Demon Lord/Hero.

Never heard of it. Won't read it likely thanks to the similar premise.

Fleeing with Abandon: Works as either a narrative angle viewpoint or if you decide to tell it from the hero's perspective. "We are running away together." Also a play on words for running away as best they can.
Adventuring with Abandon. Fun wordplay.
Travelling with Abandon. Fun wordplay.
Abandon the Hero: If you want the protag to deliberately act against his role and be heroic. A fun play on words.
Just a few off the top of my head.
