Good Chekov-centric fic?

[pacifichemlock.livejournal.com]

Yo homies!
(It should be noted that whilst trying to think up a 'gangsta' term for friends, the first thing that came to mind was 'titties'. My brain is awesome)

I have run into a fairly consistent problem in my fic reading: that Chekov is terribly, terribly characterized. So, I'm looking for a fic where I can get my dose of well-penned Chekov-- SPECIFICALLY TOS CHEKOV, unless it's reboot fic in which he actually retains his canon personality.
I don't care about ratings or pairings (in fact, I cannot think of a single pairing which totally turns me off); I'm in it for characterization.

Please and thank you.

I love Jane Seaton's TOS Chekov-centric fics here: http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/~skazki/

This is an AOS rec, but I think Chekov is awesome in it. It's Chekov/Cupcake and the first story is Cupcake (http://mcstories.livejournal.com/5368.html). There's quite a few other stories by the same author, but my favourite is Fallout (http://mcstories.livejournal.com/5420.html#cutid1).

jouissant has an excellent AOS oneshot here (http://jouissant.livejournal.com/10910.html). I don't know if it has what you think of as Chekov's 'TOS personality' -- most of what I can remember of that involves him being Hilariously Foreign and snarky and haplessly flirtatious with women -- but if you're looking for solid characterisation I think it will do the trick.

This is a reboot fic, but it still retains the super-smart, I-am-not-a-child-and-will-not-be-treated-as-such personality. It's a McCoy/Chekov.

Is he snarky and petulant?! :D

Of course, and oh-so-delightfully shy at times.

Hurrah! I am reading now, oh yes I am. Adorable gushy Chekov is so dull.

He's pretty bad-ass in this one. first chapter, he whips ass.
