Fanfic clichés meme, and a writing question

Memed (with a certain amount of delay) from justice_turtle:

Pick a trope from this list and provide a fandom/pairing/moresome and I’ll tell you something about the story I’d write for that combination (i.e. write a snippet from the story or write not!fic or tell you the title and summary for the story I would write).

( Tropes under the cut )

While I'm on the subject, a thought is exercising me concerning that variety of bodyswap where the two characters are of opposite biological sexes. I've read one or two, and found myself stumbling over the pronouns. Taking (say) a male character temporarily occupying a woman's body, which pronoun would you as a reader want to see: 'him' or 'her'?

(I suppose I could take a third option and try to write a fic without using pronouns, but that has its own pitfalls).
