I've gotten into the habit of making custom layouts for all of my stories, even one-shots. For a story about some rock stars playing Scrabble, I found a picture of scrabble tiles and made it the background alongside the white strip for the text, for a Ger-Z one-shot I have a picture of the two together in the bottom right corner, for my current fic, No Man's Land, I have artistic representation of my character as a banner and part of the background, with black and red colors for the rest of the layout to match with his suit and red hair.
For me, it really just says wonders when an author goes the extra mile to make a custom layout that compliments their story, rather than picking a pre-made layout for it.
