startrekficfinderI'm looking for a reboot fic that's probably several years old.
Kirk was stuck in an alien equivalent to the Kobayashi Maru which no one had been able to beat in hundreds of years. The mission was to protect a planet from an alien bombardment and he was stuck because he kept dying and the simulation would automatically re-start when he did.
The entire crew took turns entering the simulation to try to talk him out of it but he didn't recognize them, I think he had some sort of amnesia as part of the test.
Finally he was only able to stop after the main crew joined him in the simulation and they beat it as a team.
Does anyone know this fic? please! I've been searching, literally, for years!

Specifically the third instalment But We'll Ignore the Last Exit (it was light-years ago) (http://archiveofourown.org/works/88711). The scene you describe happened quite near the end :)
