* Due to Grant Gustin's role on ''Series/TheFlash2014'', {{Crossover}} fics like to make Sebastian The Flash, or have Sebastian related to Barry Allen in some way.

* Another fairly common trope for anti-Klaine fics is for Kurt to re-unite with Sebastian Smythe, who has changed for the better and reveals his behavior was the result of a complicated or traumatic childhood. Accompanied usually with depictions of Blaine as controlling or downright abusive, Sebastian as the hero who helps Kurt realize or leave the situation, and ends with Sebastian and Kurt getting together. Oh, usually with a side dash of Rachel or the entire Glee Club being pretty terrible friends.

* Similar to the Broadway example above is the tendency to write future fics or [=AU=] fics where one or several characters are famous actors or singers. This is especially common in Kurt/Blaine fics, and quite often only one of them is famous and the other is a fan, and they somehow meet and fall in love. These types of fics also usually include parts where the famous character's fans freak out on Tumblr in reaction to various events in the fic.

* Sugar being Brittany and Santana's KidFromTheFuture travelling back in time to visit her parents (and often to [[SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong get them together]]). This eventually caught on with other ships, by having Rory as Kurt and Blaine's son (which is technically implausible considering he's, well, Irish), minor character Harmony as Rachel and Quinn's daughter, and occasionally, Sebastian as Kurt and Karofsky's son.

* For the ''{{Series/Glee}}'' fandom, Blaine-centric stories that [[AlternateUniverseFic transplant the characters]] to a FilmNoir setting are common. Blaine is overwhelmingly the [[SharpDressedMan sharp-dressed]], jaded PrivateDetective, the New Directions and the Cheerios are rival nightclubs, and Kurt will either be the person seeking help or connected to them in some way. The Kurt/Blaine fics [[TearJerker often end]] [[DownerEnding very badly]]. It's hard to tell how much of it is just faithfulness to the film-noir style, and how much is [[HarsherInHindsight a reflection of real-life]] ValuesDissonance.
* The [[AllGirlsWantBadBoys badboy!Klaine]] trend. Blaine or Kurt is TroubledButCute, and the other is usually very close to their canon persona. Sometimes, especially when Blaine is the bad boy, Dalton is some sort of reform school.
* A good number of Kurt/Blaine fic reference or incorporate "Baby It's Cold Outside", even before the actual duet was released.
* An interesting trend is several stories where Rory and Sugar sleep together, and she becomes pregnant shortly before he returns to Ireland.
* Many future fics involve characters performing together on Broadway. This is particularly common with Rachel/Jesse fics.
* Sugar, Rory, and Harmony being the children of Brittana, Klaine, and Finchel or Faberry (respectively) travelling back in time to visit their parents. Occasionally they also include Sebastian as the son of Kurtofsky.
* Many Sam/Rory fics take place either during Christmas (when the ship was first introduced) or Valentine's day (in the Christmas episode Sam promised to be Rory's sponsor and help him get a girlfriend for valentine's day).
