Specific Reboot Kirk/Spock fic with Q

[a-tye.livejournal.com]

My first timing positing so I apologize if it’s awkward.  I’m trying to find a fic I read quite some time ago, where Q shows up and tests reboot Kirk to see whether he or Kirk Prime is the better captain.  Something about how only one timeline can exist so the universe with the better Kirk will be the survivor.  Reboot Kirk believes himself to be inferior, but proves to be the better captain, because he is willing to let Spock sacrifice himself for the greater good despite Kirk’s personal feelings.   Does anyone know the title and where to find it?

This sounds like Second-Best Destiny by kcscribbler (http://kcscribbler.livejournal.com)
It was part of Star Trek Big Bang and can be found here: http://kcscribbler.livejournal.com/380477.html (http://kcscribbler.livejournal.com/380477.html)
