NGC Recs Self-Reflection (Literally)
Stories where one or more characters meet their alternate self from another universe or timeline. Generally, this causes some degree of self reflection.
(Stories where the meeting is brief or a spoiler may or may not end up here. Same if it has no real significance in the narrative.)

Summary
Jason wondered, for the millionth time, just what he thought he was doing. Why did he have to stick his nose in where it wasn't needed? Shouldn't he be focusing on his own problems, and not some kid's? What were the odds that anyone back home was even looking for him?
Questions without answers weren't useful. Jason squashed them down.
Jason is stuck in an alternate universe that seems to be years in his own past. He makes a few decisions that drastically change the course of their timeline, and finds out that someone was looking for him after all.

Summary
After a run-in with some hi-tech goons, Tim wakes up in a universe where Bruce enjoys his company. Where Jason never died, where Dick never gave Robin to a murderous Demon Brat who, it seemed, wasn’t even around.
He goes to sleep, happy.
And wakes up back in his original world, where he feels like a ghost among the living, forgotten and cold and alone.
The one where Tim switches between worlds whenever he falls asleep.
COMES WITH ART!

Summary
To be entirely fair, Zhongli had planned to fake his death. He would drop a fake Exuvia just as the Qixing called for him during the Rite of Descension, and he would let everything unfold from there.
That had been the plan. He might’ve started to regret the circumstances, but never the end result. Rex Lapis was meant to die.Zhongli wasn’t.
So why did he?
And if he did,Why was he awake now, somewhere he did not at all recognize?
--------
Or, Zhongli not-quite-transmigrates into a modern version of Teyvat and has to figure out why the Zhongli from that universe (whose body he took over) has died, along with other things threatening the nation. With the other Zhongli dead, he's the only Morax left, after all.
And Morax is duty-bound to protect Liyue.
