I think You'll Get There in the End (It Just Takes a While) (http://seperis.livejournal.com/741871.html) by Seperis, and its sequel, War Games (http://seperis.livejournal.com/796798.html) are the best Kirk/Spock fics out there. They're massive and brilliantly plotty, and Seperis is a master of characterization. A must-read (if you haven't read them already!)
I just finished Waldorph's Strive Seek Find Yield (Spocktoria) (http://waldorph.dreamwidth.org/283601.html) which was fantastic. I was initially skeptical about the premise (an AU wherein "Spock is heir to the Federation throne, Jim is Prince of America because his fucking brother abdicated, and the Klingons are on the verge of blowing shit up") but then I read it, and it had me grinning from ear-to-ear throughout.
I was similarly skeptical about the plot of So Wise We Grow (http://captanddeastar.livejournal.com/9048.html) (Spock and Jim adopt a Vulcan kid), which just goes to show I'm an idiot, because it's fantastic.
My other ST XI top favorites are here (http://terinbegins.livejournal.com/904.html). I pretty much only list fics that I'm absolutely in love with, so I'm sure a number of great stories are missing, but I'd like to think the recs I do make are relatively reliable...
