Either in fic/canon or IRL. The kind of things you could never request or really look for, because they're so specific.

Me: a cappella singing over scenes where the actual noises are muted. For example, the scene in the dark knight trailer at the stadium, or the scene from the walking dead where Beth is singing in the prison. It happens a lot in certain kinds of trailers, and I have no idea why, but I adore it. (Side note: this cover made me think of this, because I would love to see it over some kind of dark, horrible scenes in a movie https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=M_PtnvVQhqA)
Also, for fic, scenes where an insecure character overhears and misinterprets something their love interest says.

What say you, F!S?

Pistol whipping and non-sexual torture of my favourite character in my fandom.

Shame. So much shame.

Oh man, I can get on board with this.

They actually tortured him in an episode. ...I enjoyed it way too much.

Have to think about the question, but what you described made me think of this trailer for a movie called The Double that I found very haunting (song is "Grinnin' in Your Face", Son House):

1. A character walks behind their significant other and absently runs their hand over SO's hair or shoulder in an affectionate way without stopping and SO leans into it. I like reading all kinds of little details about intimate couples being casually affectionate, but I really like this one in particular.

2. Character with long hair keeps it tied up all the time, only letting it hang loose when they're home with family. I read a fic once where the main character was very particular about that, immediately pulling their hair up because loose hair was only for their husband to see when they noticed it was down, and was really taken with the idea.

3. I always really want to know the physical sensation of the fabric in clothing characters wear, especially draping or looser clothes. How heavy it is, the way it pulls in the wind, how they have to adjust it when they move (like tugging up on skirts when you crouch), how they have to change the way they move or make extra gestures (like holding back a long sleeve when reaching across a table).

No. 2 of yours reminds me of a very specific thing:

In the movie Deep Impact, the female crew-member on the shuttle going to try destroy the comet has her hair tied in a very restrictive (for the hair) coronet braid. I've seen a bit of footage of a woman in space and her hair was like a wooly black cloud around her head. The hairstyle in the movie successfully avoided looking totally out-of-place because of a failure to consider how gravity would effect hair (my biggest bitch at the movie Space Camp is hairstyles on the females that would go everywhere in zero-G, not going everywhere).

On your a cappella example, that makes me think of the "Edge of Night" scene in Return of the King, where Denethor asks Pippin to sing, and it's juxtaposed over Faramir's failed battle.

that's a great scene. I love the Pip/Faramir friendship in general and I'm so glad we see more of it in the extended DVD.
