The Game: try to write different categories of fic (angst, fluff, UST, etc) in one sentence.
Angst
Nyssa used to mark the anniversary of her mother’s death, before grief so great it defied mourning swallowed the memory of her whole.
AU
“I’m here,” John Smith’s smile was a flicker too bright for polite company, “because Introduction to Symbolic Logic was the only class of yours I could take that didn’t have a waiting list, Professor Oakden.”
Crackfic

Crossover
“Look, Q gestured to the two time lords glaring at each other over a temporal limiter in an instant of frozen time, nearly whacking an unimpressed Captain Piccard in the arm, “I know humans aren’t proud of their ancestors and rarely invite them round to dinner, but you can’t possibly understand my grandfathers’ capacity to complicate your life, and under no circumstances should you enable them!”
Death
Just killing the Doctor had been easy, but after a month spent desolately stalking the universe the Master had reloomed the man and resolved never to tell the Doctor that he wasn’t the original.
Episode-Related: Terminus, Utopia

Smut
The man’s auburn curls and one of his long-fingered, pale hands brushed the floor as his back was bent over the curve of the bed’s edge, and while a bearded mouth suckled at his apparently very sensitive neck he thought about how lucky he was that his husband had found him wandering around, rather than some unscrupulous cad who might’ve taken advantage of his memory loss.
UST
While their respective partners were off in the kitchen fetching the fried singing fish course, Braxiatel and the Master eyed each other, both perfectly aware of the appropriate revenge for the Doctor and Romana ever having slept together, and both perfectly relieved when Brax raised a glass and proposed the toast, “Let’s never.”
