Considering that Annie frequently mentions cookies, is it a surprise I cannot find any in my home?
Anyways, as for medieval generic fantasy, Venom, you may consider including surreal worlds or environments. For example, in one of my stories, Skyhook, the entire setting is within a sky-world, where the "ground" is clouds, and the "sky" is just an eternal night sky full of twinkling stars of every colour.
In Hooks and Chains, the entire world is a meaty monster that births smaller flesh-beasts.
Perhaps you may think of a totally alien environment unlike earth, say, a place where everyone lives only above treetops as the trunks exceed the height of clouds, or maybe you flip everything upside-down, so "above" is earth, and "below" is a fall into an abyssal doom. An easy way to make something different is to make everything different.
