7 Kirk/Sulu recs (ST:R)
There is a sad lack of Reboot Kirk/Sulu out there so far, but the quality of what there is helps make up for it.
Kind of Habit-Forming and A Little Like Obsession by

Academy-era. Sulu doesn't know who the other cadet is, but he's getting used to running into him at the bar (and leaving with him later). Funny and hot. I hope we haven't seen the last of this series.

Kirk and Sulu snatch a moment in the turbolift after being rescued from their freefall. Short and sweet.

Startlingly good. It's Sulu-centric kidfic with some Kirk/Sulu going on in the background. Charming, funny, and has a wonderful Sulu-voice in the narration. Kirk is only there in glimpses, but what we do see is very telling. As a bonus, everyone on the bridge crew shows up to be wonderful and in-character.
The rest are from the st_xi_kink meme. I'd love to give credit to all the authors, but I guess Anon gets some instead.

Another Academy-era fic. Prompt: "Kirk dominates the flying simulation at the Academy. He spends hours mastering it, so he is the best. Or he would be the best, if he did not keep getting beat out by some punk flying better than him. Some punk named Hikaru Sulu." cocky!Kirk and bewildered!Sulu. Captures both characters beautifully.

Prompt: "Gay/Straight chicken is played on the bridge, secret!established couple fails to pretend that either one is going to pull back." Established relationship fluffiness.
Five Times Sulu Insisted That the Japanese Don’t Curse, and One Time He Accidentally Admitted That They Do by dreamerneva
Features frustrated!Kirk (no, not that kind of frustrated) and annoyed!Sulu. A very clever take on the prompt "Sulu/Kirk - Sulu talking dirty in Japanese."
9.8, Give or Take by proleptic_fancy (NC-17)
Imagine that someone gave Kirk access to a holodeck prototype. What do you think he would do with it? I'll give you a hint: it's Kirk. In other words, it involves sex and jumping off of things. Not necessarily in that order.
