NGC Recs Self-Reflection (Literally)

Summary
“Ah, Mobei Jun, there’s your loyal human,” Luo Binghe says, from where he sits sprawled on the throne. Mobei Jun, lurking in the shadows behind him, doesn’t glance in Shang Qinghua’s direction; he looks much as he usually does, and yet—somehow—different. The two women draped across Luo Binghe’s knees both look up, though. One of the women is Sha Hualing and that—that’s Liu Mingyan, and … Shang Qinghua doesn’t want to look at the woman leaning against Luo Binghe’s shoulder, because that is Qin Wanrong, and she is supposed to be dead. She died at the Immortal Alliance Conference! She was eaten by the Nu Yuan Chan!
Proud Immortal Demon Way, Shang Qinghua thinks, stomach lurching. He’s been transported into Proud Immortal Demon Way.

Summary
A week ago, Dean was pulled out of Hell. Now, he’s apparently woken up in 2018, and the angel that a mere twenty-four hours beforehand had threatened to chuck him back into the pit is sleepily pouring himself coffee and wearing Dean’s second-favourite Zeppelin shirt. It all seems like a perfect happy ending, but with Hell’s scars still so fresh, Dean can’t imagine how he could have possibly gotten there.
At the same time, the Dean who went to sleep in the bunker, right next to Cas, wakes up on Bobby’s couch in 2008. He’s instantly bombarded with questions by a Lilith-obsessed brother and a man who’s been dead for years, and must decide between keeping his finally-perfect life intact, and the lives he could save by re-writing history.
Regardless of these choices, both Deans are trapped in the wrong decade, and their only way back lies with a Castiel still very much under Heaven’s thumb – one who might find the future Dean describes difficult to believe.

Summary
Um, hi. I'm Jim. Jim Kirk. You don't know me, but I know you. Well, sort of. It's a long story. All of this started when I… Actually, no, it started when my mom got it into her head that… well, it's kind of complicated. Long story short, I accidentally ended up in another universe and... Look, I know it sounds crazy, but in that universe, we—the other me and you—are married and you're the crown prince of Vulcan Kingdom. It does sound crazy, I know. Fuck, I don't even know why I'm doing this. I don't really know you. Hell, I'm not even sure I want to know you. It's not like I think you and me… I'm just curious, I guess. You'll probably ignore me anyway; I know I would if I were a Vulcan and got a call like that from some stranger. Fuck it, it was a stupid idea. Bye, Spock.
[18-year-old Jim ends up in Once Upon a Time's universe. When he gets back, Jim's curiosity gets the better of him. And then things become complicated. Academy AU.]
