Well, if you ask me, the first one that comes to my mind for protected!Kirk is Seperis' Reboot Duo Series (http://archiveofourown.org/series/2522), because:
"There's this thing," Jim says, watching in resignation as she returns with something green and probably very healthy and terrible, "where the heroine faints a lot. And the hero catches her. Or rescues her from bandits. Or--well." Jim takes a drink and doesn't make a face. It's terrible. "What is this?" "It is a nutritional supplement," T'Prina says promptly, somehow managing to restrain herself from telling him the ingredients, which makes him never want to find out what they are. "Please continue. The heroines require rescue?" "Constantly." Jim looks at the door as Spock comes in. "Me and Regency heroines have a lot in common these days."
And the best part? Despite this, no bastardisation of any character, everybody is still as badass as in the movie, if not more so. Though fair warning: it's an epic, 142,000 word story.
Others:
* Search and Rescue by _seven_crows (http://users.livejournal.com/_seven_crows/14538.html): Summary: "You think they've been keeping Jim for twelve hours by asking politely?" // McCoy and Spock rescue Kirk on a mission gone wrong.
* Family Matters (http://archiveofourown.org/works/11398) and Eye of a Hurricane (http://archiveofourown.org/works/11409) by waldorph, part of the Illogical (√π233/hy7) series (http://archiveofourown.org/series/635), focus on the crew's protectiveness of Kirk, and on how they all are a family.
* Five Times Jim Was Neurotically Mothered By His Crew (And One Time He Mothered Them Right Back) (http://users.livejournal.com/_seven_crows/19532.html): Title says it all. A gen story.
* Murphy's Law of Jim Kirk Diplomacy (http://users.livejournal.com/_seven_crows/13837.html): another gen one where Spock and McCoy get an injured Kirk off the planet and back to the ship.
* pining!Kirk stories too would fit that vulnerable!Kirk category you want, I'd say. At least the ones that are also of the genre angst/romance. Take a look here: pining!kirk (http://www.delicious.com/csad/pining!kirk). Depends on your definition, I guess. (Is it just me or do all Kirk/Spock stories seem to feature pining!kirk? Just saying.)
Other than that, hmm... none that I remember right now.
Chekov stories the way you asked are a bit harder to find, since practically every story where the crew has more than a passing role tends to have the crew protective of Chekov, but, these come to mind:
* Nothing to Shout About by robanybody (http://robanybody.livejournal.com/386073.html#cutid1): Kirk starts to take Chekov on away missions, and to McCoy's chagrin, in no time at all he has a second reckless idiot that ends up frequently in sickbay in his hands. Poor McCoy. :) Nice gen story, with protective older-brother/father type McCoy and Kirk.
* Only the Good Die Young by _seven_crows (http://users.livejournal.com/_seven_crows/14723.html): Summary: Five times Pavel Chekov hated being the only seventeen-year-old on the Enterprise. // Poor guy :)
* How to Avoid Kicking Puppies and Other Valuable Lessons in Leadership by sparky77 (http://sparky77.livejournal.com/596751.html): Chekov punches an asshole superior officer, and Kirk can't discipline him, because: “That’s what I said, but apparently I’m not supposed to let that type of thing happen and I need to investigate and there’s supposed to be disciplinary action. I can’t. It would be like kicking a puppy.”
* A Chekov/Sulu story with vulnerable!Kirk (because, pining!Kirk): .tell me how i'm supposed to breathe by thisissirius (http://thisissirius.livejournal.com/550265.html) It also has a bit of insight into the crew's interactions.
* We Are Air by _seven_crows (http://users.livejournal.com/_seven_crows/15568.html): Summary: Five anniversaries and birthdays of the Enterprise crew. Number IV is Chekov. Nice gen story.
