Let's see, the two you mentioned, non-con with anyone, makeover stories...
I also really don't like the ones where Harry somehow has to take care of Draco somehow and being the bigger person about it. I mean, give me a break. If there's no Harry Caplock Temper Tantrum, it's not the real Harry. Another thing is a bad first kiss. The "One of them snaps and pushes the other against the wall and oh look their both really turned on by this" only works in the proper context.
Another irk is waaaaay too much fluff. Even if it's a one-shot, there really needs to be some conflict. No conflict, no sexual tension to base a relationship on. And like you said, they really can't have a calm relationship.
