Reboot Epic Recs

[that-carlygirl.livejournal.com]

Hello, I am new to this community and I couldn't find anything saying this is against the rules so I hope it's okay.

I am new to the Star Trek fandom, and am looking for 'epic' recs. I am mainly interested in reboot fics, as I have only just started to watch TOS.

I would like long, potty fics with a bit of everything. Action, adventure, romance etc, but I'm not picky. I would also like recs for the 'big name fics' in this fandom, the ones that everyone has read, for example.

Kirk-centric fics would be amazing, but again I am not picky.

I would prefer Kirk/Spock slash if there is romance but I will take any pairing but Kirk/McCoy.

Thank you for your help.

Right after Star Trek XI

Hello,

I can't find a fic I read some time ago. It took place after the reboot film, at least partly on Earth, but I'm not sure if it was before the 5 years mission or during it. All I remember is that the Admiralty made a change to the female uniform (shorter), and of course Uhura and a lot of others didn't like it. What surprised her was that Kirk was ready to help them, going so far as to tell the admirals that he couldn't expect aliens to respect his crew if their commanding officers didn't do it. Help, please?
