Great Kirk!Centric Fics?

[faithya1701.livejournal.com]

Hello everyone ;)
So I've just finished all beamirang's fic and a fic called "What Sulu Sees", and it just dawned to me that how much I love this kind of fic, namely, Kirk being the central character and strong crew-as-family ties feeling and some delicious hurt!Jim and a healthy dose of grumpy Bones!
So I was wondering is there any fic like this?
Or maybe it doesn't have to look like this, just a good Kirk!centric fic will do. I'm thirsty for any kind of great kirk!centric fic! It can be set in any time (academy era or the movie era), can be gen or slash (though if it's slash I can only read bottom!kirk), as long as it features Kirk as the centre and the story evolves around him. Bonus if it contains some hurt!Jim (mental or physical or emotional)!

Hopefully I can get some good rec here, thanks in advance!

I absolutely love Beamirang's fics. All of it and she's my favorite author in the aos Star Trek fandom. I'm assuming that since you've already read "what sulu sees" you've also read "atlas" by angel baby1. If not you might want to try it.

For the hurt!kirk fics, my personal utmost favorite is this very long oneshot by sinestrated, "sotto
voce". (It's Spock/Kirk though if that's ok with you, but also contains a healthy dose of grumpy protective Bones) It's all my guilty pleasures into one glorious fic. And the ending, gosh the ending is phenomenal. A fic I can read again and again, and still gold in every try: https://archiveofourown.org/works/1007346

My favorite Kirk!centric story is:

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.
