Searching for the Ghost (http://hollycomb.livejournal.com/149860.html) by Hollycomb.

StarTrek. Sulu/Chekov, NC-17. AU, 80k -- Sulu is a Navy translator sent to Japan in September 1945 as part of the U.S. Strategic Bombing Survey. Chekov and Scotty are physicists, Spock is a behavioral psychologist who is accompanied by his protégé Uhura, McCoy is a Navy doctor, and Jim is a Lieutenant Commander.

There is almost nothing about this story that doesn't hurt, but that's what makes it a good historical AU. Sulu is Japanese American in Japan with the US Army post WWII and the author does not gloss over the confusion, complications, and ugliness that brings with it.
