Underestimated Kirk General Fic Find

[thetaomega.livejournal.com]

Hi I'm currently in the mood to read any fics where people underestimate Kirk's skills/intelligence or he deliberately hides what he's capable of/dumbs himself down. Anything along those lines (maybe Uhura is surprised when he can speak different languages or Spock doesn't think he's very good at science but it turns out he's brilliant at it) or fics where he hides behind different masks so people misjudge his personality/behaviour.
Any help you can give me is much appreciated! :D

This story is a great fit for your request https://m.fanfiction.net/s/8782048/1/

My favorite story that fits that category is Graduate Vulcan for Fun and Profit (http://archiveofourown.org/works/17969) (15113 words) by lazulisong (http://archiveofourown.org/users/lazulisong/pseuds/lazulisong).
Rating: Teen and up
Genre: Genfic
Summary: It really does take a village to raise a Jim. The members of the Kelvin's crew watch over Jim as much as he lets them.

There's a great relationship between Jim and a Vulcan that he meets when rescued from Tarsus IV. Jim hides the fact he speaks Vulcan fluently from lessons he gets from him. It all comes to head at the end of the story in a delightful way. I think you'll enjoy it a lot.

Five Times Nyota Uhura Fucked Up with Jim Kirk and the First Time She Didn't (http://archiveofourown.org/works/1961583) is my personal favorite Underestimated Kirk fic.

Thank you so much everyone! I've started reading 'Ingenious Idiot' and once I've finished that I'll make sure I read all the others :D. Feel free to keep suggesting though I always love a good underestimated Jim story!

This is a great site for those times when you are wanting to find a specific type of story (I have set the filter to 'Smart Kirk')... enjoy!

Thank you! I've never come across this website before (which is surprising with the amount of time I spend reading Kirk/Spock fics). It looks amazing and I'm definitely going to use it for all my searching needs :D

I love it: it's a great way to discover stories which aren't on AO3/KSA, too! I'm glad to share the joy! :-)

I don't know if you are still looking, but The Surprises of Captain Kirk seems to fit your request. It' son AO3, and the author is Magicmysticfantasy.
