It's not finished yet, but it's a lot of fun. Mix of comic and movie stuff. They don't all work at the same place, there are some who have kids going there instead (Thor) or who work at other schools (Clint and Janet have a rivalry involving being 5th grade English teachers). Clint and Phil are married, and so are Tony and Pepper, and Bucky is the new teacher in school whose old college-friend Natasha recommended he switch to this school, who has a crush on the hot art teacher across the hall. Everyone wants them to get the nerve to ask each other out. There's a chapter called "Stop Pining". There's also a chapter about the last 7 or 8 years of Phil and Clint. So. That's disgustingly sweet, honestly.

It's called 180 Days and Counting.

Excerpt:

He hung his jacket in the closet before he asked Clint, "Anything I can do?"

"Nah, I don't think so." Clint rested his hands on his hips, showing off the full glory of his worn Iowa Hawkeyes t-shirt. (It'd taken Steve a year to figure out that the Hawkeyes were, in fact, a college football team.) "Unless you wanna make sure Phil doesn't burn the house down making the cheese dip."

"I can hear you, you know," Phil called through from the kitchen.

"I know!" Clint replied, and winked at Steve.

Steve smiled, a little, and surveyed the room a second time. The head-count came up the same. "Where's everybody else?"

"Bruce texted and said something about a baking experiment gone horribly wrong." Tony barely glanced up from the board. "He's stopping at—somewhere."

"Kroger," Pepper supplied.

"Once again proving the virtues of marriage!"

Pepper shook her head at his grin, and, when he leaned up to offer comically-puckered lips, pushed him back toward the board. "Darcy got roped into helping her mom," she explained. "Something about a Blu-Ray player."

"I offered to help," Tony commented without glancing up.

"You would've rewired their entire living room."

"And it would've been awesome."

Steve laughed a little and shoved his hands in his pockets. He was considering how to ask the last looming question when the smoke detector suddenly started beeping. Clint dropped the pig-in-a-blanket he'd just stolen from the dining table. "You had one job, Phil!"

"I don't even know how the microwave started doing that!" Phil shouted back, and left Clint to charge into the kitchen to rescue him, the dog trotting along behind.



Oh, and there are X-Men around, and not just the ones who've been Avengers. (And Xavier's is a dive bar!) Ororo and Jean are teachers, and Bobby is a part-time speech therapist. Also! Carol is the SpEd section leader, which I feel fits really well, and Pepper is the counselor, which is much better than any counselor I had, and Phil is the librarian, and did I mention Fury is the principle?
