I found this quiz here https://astolat.dreamwidth.org/311865.html & I thought cool, so I tried it. It might have missed some things but I thought at least the top rankings were pretty accurate for me:

(1) Fairytale/Mythology AU
(1) Characters Swap Roles AU
(1) Body Swapping
(1) Supernatural Creature/Human Romance
(5) Everyone is Evil/Mirrorverse AU
(5) Amnesia Fic
(5) Groundhog Day Loop
(5) Loyalty Kink
(9) Royals/Political Marriage Turns Into Feelings
(9) Reincarnation/'25 Lives' AU
(9) Magical Connection (Telepathy, etc)
(12) Snowed In Cabin/Isolated Together for Extended Period of Time
(12) Selfcest (Possibly Due to Time Travel)
(15) Seemingly Unrequited Pining
(15) Polyamory
(15) Found Families

I thought I'd try to match this up to see how many of these tropes I'd written for + rec some fics of those tropes I particularly like + canon that has those elements in it (but I only did a few because I always forget how time-consuming making rec-lists is)

<as always, check individual stories for ratings/warnings>

(1) Fairytale/Mythology AU
fic I wrote: "The Good Brother" is a Black Butler/Hansel & Gretel retelling. I really enjoyed creating the world for this story!
rec: "I dreamt of magpies" (Thor) by saaifione / really sad.
canon: Thor (MCU)/Norse Mythology, Labyrinth, Howl's Moving Castle

(1) Characters Swap Roles AU
fic I wrote: "In the Wake of Summer" Thor & Loki, pre-Thor AU, pretty tragic
rec: "the muse in my head" by deadcellredux \ honestly this one's more role-play than role-reversal AU. I feel like there are fics I know of that fit the trope better but right now I can't *find* any...

(1) Body Swapping
fic I wrote: I think I've never actually written anything for this trope? Which is crazy, because it's my #1 favorite ever
rec: "Just Like Any Other Day" by elandrialore (Smallville); thoughtful, fun // - now I've never actually watched Smallville, except for a few episodes, but this is Clark and Lex and Lois probably post-series-ish AU & "Postcards from the Extraterrestrial Highway" by DiscordantWords (X-Files); dark in an X-Files kind of way [I should just make a full body-swap reclist honestly]
canon: Quantum Leap!

(1) Supernatural Creature/Human Romance
fic I wrote: "Moving the Stars" (Labyrinth) Jareth/Sarah ... although there's a twist here that the supernatural creature *isn't*, really, and the human has magic...
canon: Supernatural, Artemis Fowl

(5) Everyone is Evil/Mirrorverse AU
fic I wrote: nothing? huh! At least that I can recall (bar an unfinished TNG fic involving Data going into the Mirror Universe)
rec: "A Good Look in the Mirror" by Rabble Rouser / TOS fic with believable Mirror!Kirk characterization that makes him more complex than just evil

(5) Groundhog Day Loop
fic I wrote: "Storm Signals" - Batjokes
rec: "It Might Have Been" by Unforgotten [WIP] X-Men Movies - this one is the "repeating lives" type / & "A Day With No Regrets" by Mithen (Batman/Superman) - a rare happy version of this trope!
canon: Groundhog Day :)

I'll probably make longer reclists based on some of these things at a later point ...
