About the AU
The being James Kirk doesn't exist. Winona Kirk, during the massive attack of the Narada on the Kelvin, is expecting not one child, but two twins. Medical exams attest that they are rare semi-identical twins (semi-monozygotic), two individuals with identical DNA. If one were religious, they would think the children are two halves of the same soul that has been split in two bodies.
George Kirk remains on the Kelvin, to protect the evacuation as much as he can, but he has the time to name his sons. Out of a twisted sense of humor, perhaps influenced by his pending death, he decides that the first born will bear the name James and the second will be just Jim.
Growing up as semi-identical twins is both paradise and hell for the two: while they accept their "condition", and they exploit it spectacularly, it also means that they are double trouble for their already troubled mother. They are a bad influence for each other and they quickly spin out of control, in and out of bar fights and nights spent in custody. They both have a knack for computers and strategy and share a love for history and vintage things.
When captain Pike meets James Kirk in a bar he can't believe his eyes: the rumors of two identical twins are real! He stands in front of the two Kirk brothers, daring them to do better than their father, and two bored geniuses - to whom Iowa can't give anything more to two people who need challenges to thrive - turn up at the recruit shuttle.
They both share the dream of captaining their own ship but, since Starfleet would never allow for two twins to share captaincy, they decide that one of them will follow Command track and the other will pick Science. They literally draw straws and luck decides that James's aim will be own that beautiful starship they saw in Riverside, while Jim will master computers so to be the best Computer Chief a captain could want.
The have a very open approach to their unique "condition": they consider themselves as one person split in two bodies and this allows them to gloss over any ethical law that would consider it immoral for two brothers to have sex with each other. Yes, while they do like girls and boys (and aliens), they don't have any qualm in finding release with and in each other. This rather unique open-mindedness makes them quite famous (or, rather, infamous) at the Academy and yet Professor Spock lands his eyes on them only when James - at his third attempt at taking the Kobayashi Maru test - beats it, with the help of Jim who writes Jim's hacking patch.
Both James's and Jim's Academy careers are saved by the impromptu intervention of Nero, who's attacking the planet Vulcan.
James saves the day and, with their role in the crisis, the Academy board decides to drop the charges and promote them to their rightful roles: James gets the Enterprise and Jim will serve as his Computer Chief, both of them going down on Academy history as the only two people who beat the Kobayashi Maru.
Their shiny personalities eventually win over the crew, the reluctant First Officer's included. First Officer who might've been convinced by an old version of himself to stay and find a friendship that will define three people.
Spock, against all logic, finds himself more and more intrigued by the both of them, fascinated by their courage, lack of self-preservation and brilliance, but he also spends his days baffled because, as soon as they remove their division shirts, he can't tell one from the other.
Threesomes are considered a healthy acceptable way of life, on Earth, but Vulcans don't share the same opinion, so Spock grows conflicted with himself as he finds himself pulled by the overpowering gravity of the Kirk brothers. Within himself he is unable to choose between follow his heart, to let himself descend in sin and indulge his strong feelings, or resist and follow every Vulcan teaching he knows, teachings that tell him that a Vulcan cannot have two mates because a soul can only bond with another soul.
To love two people with the same strength is considered the Vulcan version of sin, it is believed that only Vulcans who fail at embracing logic can stoop so low as to indulge their animal urges and take two mates.
He surrenders once, only once, and then it's too late for him. He considers himself lost, dirty and sinner, but he cannot find the strength to give up two people who accept him for who he is, flawed and angered and slave to his emotions but also ruled by logic.
Already prepared for banishment, he discovers that Jim's and James's rather theatrical claims of split souls aren't just empty words but reality, as their katra is literally split in half, so Spock can wholly accept the fact he harbors romantic feelings toward two people. Sarek gives his blessing and stands by his son's side while facing the disapproval of the Vulcan society until their unique situation is - grudgingly - accepted.
His life won't be easy after gaining the Vulcan's approval, though: he may never know, but have to do with one James Kirk would be enough; yet, he has two individuals to handle and even his patience gets tried. And even his sexual superior resistance might be challenged with two highly sexual people as the Kirk twins.
