Give it Everything, Ixodida , and Cuculidae are all, in essence, the same story of someone discovering that someone in their life isn't actually human. Marbh-Maigheach also deals with faer-folk and their ability to impersonate people. Evelyn from The Witch & The Fatso and The Witch & The Wedding Gift has the ability to alter people's perceptions of reality, as well as to compel them to commit acts against their will.

Out of all of them it's Ixodida that's had the most consistently positive feedback. I noticed the pattern quickly enough and it's actually part of the reason I've stopped posting stories. I felt that I was getting into a rut.
