Fic Search : Spock/Kirk (2009) / vague recollections

[calistal.livejournal.com]

There are two fics I'm looking for.

First : Jim is worried because new people aren't joining/applying for the Enterprise crew, thinking it's because he's a bad captain, but it just turns out that when the crew talk to cadets at the Academy, they're stressing that you have to be the best of the best, etc. I think this was Spock/Kirk, but it may have been Gen or McCoy/Kirk.

Second: Some psychologist(or someone who is there to observe and cast judgement on the Enterprise and the command team of Spock/Kirk) is brought to the Enterprise. This is likely a Spock/Kirk, because I remember that when the guy organizes some kind of paint ball/laser tag/team game, Spock initially refuses to be on the opposite team to the captain. That's the most concrete part that I can remember in this fic, though if I recall correctly, the guy gets insanely frustrated with Jim and Spock during interviews of some sort? I think I remember in the interviews, one of the main questions asked of all those he talked to was if Person A and Person B were hanging off a cliff (one of them being the captain, I think) who would you save. And everyone asked said they'd save the other person, because Spock would save the captain.

I'm, also, almost certain I read both of these on AO3.

That's all I got and hopefully this is enough to track them down. I'm going slightly crazy over here. :P

Thank you so much for your help in advance, I appreciate your time. :)

Hi! I'm sorry i don't recognize the first one but i'm about 98% sure that the second one is this:

Title: The Trouble with Normal
Author: Danyliz.
Link : http://fanfiction.net/s/6592804/1/The-Trouble-with-Normal
Summary: It's time for the Enterprise's performance evaluation. Too bad that on this ship, 'normal' gets a whole new meaning.

I'm glad you posted this request, because I haven't read either of those -- I mostly read TOS, rather than reboot -- but I adore the idea that "everyone asked said they'd save the other person, because Spock would save the captain." So I have to go read that. :-)
