What are some certain twists that make a story not cliche?

to answer your question, twists in a story that arent cliche are things the reader would never expect, cliches are predetermined, already established, so simply avoid these and you will have more or less come up with something original, go nuts! Take what people would expect and add mayhem! Dont belimited by them. i dont think asking people what they would like to hear will help as i can guarantee a good few people are likely to suggest cliches, simply their own romanticised version of them.
