Looks like we've been lacking in both feasable and unlikely varieties of suggestions lately, so I figure I'll try to affect that a bit.
I've had the opportunity recently to toss a variety spells off in side-conversations with others just to see what happens, and a surprisingly recurring and well received thing was the various Summon Monster variations. (Thank you PhantomLamb).
What occurred to me is that we have a bunch of rather exotic and unique summons, but it seems like they are used quite rarely, so their opportunity to be appreciated is rather small. To partially address this, and to allow for curious other roleplay opportunities, I would like to suggest that Summon Monster 1, 2, and 3, as well as Summon Nature's Ally 1, 2, and 3 be made capable of being Persisted with the metamagic feat.
At the levels one obtains the appropriate spell-slots, I doubt this would make any reasonable difference in combat, but would allow for minor bound outsiders or friendly critters to appear in various RP and last for the duration of a conversation or two, rather than 4-ish minutes.*
I may well be incorrect, but it is my understanding that such a chance aught to be relatively simple to enact (a switch condition for oDuration in each, along with an augmentation to the spell database). Don't take my word for it though.

*: Lets be frank, most conversations can go on for hours, and 4-minutes is shorter than it takes to type up a response sometimes.
