Could the first one be Something Rich and Strange (http://archiveofourown.org/works/129766) by jouissant? "In another universe, captaining a starship is Jim Kirk's first, best destiny. In this one, he's just been laid off from a soulless office job, he's struggling to make ends meet in New York City, and the closest thing he has to a love life is a strange fixation on a Shirley Temple-drinking regular at his new bartending gig. But when he forges a connection with this compelling stranger and begins unraveling the mystery of his father's death, Jim stumbles onto a secret that will change his life forever."
