Hmmm, I'm not sure if I'm guilty of any of those... yet (at least, I don't think I've published any of those kind of stories). I did have one where Jack's at home with their multiple kids for humorous effect but it's not finished or published.

I do have a story idea that starts with Jack being a dick (which isn't necessarily out of character for him) and it causes him to lose his friends and regret being a dick and have to earn their respect again. I like those stories if they're done well.

I'm not good at writing them in a relationship so I tend to stay with them leading up to something.
