I think it's awesome that you're trying to rec for your dad. :) I've managed to get my own dad interested in a couple of my fandoms, though he's too swamped with work to read fanfic... XD
Anyway, I only have a few recs for now:
Lost and Found (http://ksarchive.com/viewstory.php?sid=414) by UKJess, an awesomely plotty TOS story. Author's summary: Kidnapped and then mysteriously released by the Romulans, Kirk is travelling back to Earth to stand trial. Can his friends, and the rest of the crew of the Enterprise do anything to help this self-confessed traitor? Again, has a great plot, and some particularly amazing and touching/inspiring scenes.
Hero Complex (http://www.fanfiction.net/s/5463893/1/Hero_Complex) by SpiritBearr, in which the TOS Kirk, Spock and Bones somehow get thrown into a prison with their XI counterparts. A very balanced look at the similarities & differences between the two versions of the characters, giving each their own strengths and weaknesses. WIP, not much plot so far, but a lot of character development.
Not All Those Who Wander (http://community.livejournal.com/parrotfic/27428.html) by parrotfic, for a more whimsical look at what happens when the TOS and XI worlds collide as Spock Prime wanders the XI-verse. Author's summary: Spock Prime has found ways to keep himself occupied; the universe doesn't know what hit it.
I hope your dad likes our recs. :) I'd love to know what he thinks of them.
