Under-rated Kirk-centric fic recs?

[thraesja.livejournal.com]

You ever feel like you're not done reading a fandom but your ability to find good fic you haven't yet read has slowed dramatically?

Could you please rec me your favourite fics that you think are under-appreciated, under-recced, or just plain under-known?  As much as I think things like Ceres_Libera's Switch, Waldorph's Illogical series, and Deastar's So Wise We Grow and How Many Roads? are all utterly incredible, they're too well known to be what I'm looking for here.

I'd prefer if recs were:
a) Kirk-centric or at least including Kirk as a major character,
b) AOS or an AU with the AOS characters,
c) slash, gen or het are all fine. Please consider labelling the ship (or lack thereof) as my preferences depend on mood and other people's enjoyment mileage may vary.
d) not RPF,
e) of reasonable writing quality - minimal POV breaks, only occasional grammatical issues, characters that act their age or have a really good reason for not...etc.

Thanks so much in advance!
