Bold the clichés you have written, and italicise those you've considered writing.
Genderswap: I don't believe I've actually written it yet, but given I read stuff like El Goonish Shive, which has boy to girl/girl to boy switching near-CONSTANTLY, yeah, I've thought about it.
Bodyswap: Again, haven't written it yet, but I've definitely thought about it. The usual "Doc and Marty somehow end up in each other's bodies" story. I imagine them having some interesting height issues.
Drunk!fic: If the character in question passes out after one shot, does it still count? If so, the PreTime story Misery Journey qualifies.
Huddling together for warmth: Had the occasional thought about people lost on camping trips, but I don't think I'll ever write it.
Undercover in a gay bar: Nope, this one I don't think I'll be writing.
Pretending to be married: I nearly bolded this, but then I realized, Marty and Jennifer in "There's Always Tomorrow" are merely pretending to be engaged. So, not quite. (VampDoc2 and Josie don't count -- they ARE legitimately married)
Secretly a virgin: No secret to you guys, but do you think Doc's willingly going to out himself to Marty and Jennifer? I know I've made at least one oblique reference to this in a NonTrilogy fic, and I might do an embarrassing expose later.
Amnesia: Yup! The subject of an upcoming NonTrilogy fic, where it happens at a rather inconvenient time. There's also been more minor memory loss in some of the vampire fics.
Cross-dressing: That Trilogy fic I talked about earlier. It's written, actually, I just have to type it. Damn, I had fun with that story. . . .
Forced to share a bed: There's accidental sharing of a bed in a far future NonTrilogy, but I don't think I've ever forced anyone to share a bed.
Aliens make them do it: Nope. Thought about plain old alien abduction, though. Not for George, unfortunately.
Wingfic: I'm assuming giftfic for Ael counts. :D The VampDocs and company have wings, Marty gets a pair at the end of the OckDocumentary arc, and Phoenix!Doc from "From the Ashes Reborn" (I really oughta do something about posting that) also displays wings at least once.
Mpreg: This depends on if Sims counts. I don't think it'll ever turn up in my regular fanfic.
Mistakenly assumed to be gay: Not yet. Though I do have a "coming out" story that occasionally tugs at my mind. Poor J.J. . . .
Let's play truth or dare: Again, nope. I may have to now, though, it sounds like a fun bit of fluff.
Mary Sue fic: Oh, come on, everybody's written this. Mystie and Josie have Mary Sueish beginnings, but I hope they've grown a bit beyond that. I also wrote straight-up self-insert in an early draft of "Reality Check." (My fanself does still make an off-screen cameo in the finished work.)
Aphrodisiacs: I haven't written it yet, but there's a story about Doc inventing a special pheromone perfume that works a little too well sitting in my "Overly Plotted Bunnies" document.
Curtainfic: Behold, all, I have researched this! Curtain fic is basically domestic-type fluff between couples. As in, shopping for curtains. Now that we know what it is, I think it's safe to say I've written some. I mean, Stuck With You certainly contains some of the necessary elements. And back when I did the 12 Days of Christmas, the Partridge prompt I did for Victor/Victoria could qualify too.
Hurt/Comfort: Hi, I'm Victoria, and I like taking my characters through HELL. I think anything involving Jack Merridew Brown AUTOMATICALLY falls into this category somehow. Doc and Marty require much hugging after those experiences.
Apocalypse fic: Thought about it after watching too much Outer Limits in the past, but never wrote it. Really wouldn't know how, I think.
Someone has a baby: World of Light, the chronicle of Josephine's pregnancy. I've also written some pregnant!Clara for future Trilogy stuff, and another preggers Clara appears in "When Worlds Collide."
Baby!fic: I think my little vignettes involving Doc having to adopt a baby Marty qualify. Doc and Gypsy's first child in "NonTrilogy" will also be adopted, but I'm not sure that's the same thing.
Telepathic soulbonding: Yes. Oh hell yes. Not particularly romantically, but more of a family-type thing. The vampires have their blood-links, of course. But the main one I think of is the interesting Link between NonTrilogy Doc and Marty. (It'll probably be years before I properly explain that, unless it comes up in "When Worlds Collide.") Something about the whole process intrigues me.
Werewolves mate for life: I haven't really written much in the way of werewolf fic, and I've never even considered the whole packmate thing. So a no here.
Speaking of fanfic, I ought to go do something with it. At least "Bonds of Holy Matrimony" is continuing well.
