Hot for teacher! Is it the intelligence kink? The nurturing aspect of building youthful minds? Plain schadenfreude of Academia? Whatever catches your fancy, below are my Top 5 Favorites:
“they’re gonna send us to prison for jerks” (T, 24k) by napricot
“Hey Steve, this is Jack Murphy, our other neighbor. Jack, this is Steve.” Steve looked at Sam a little wildly, expecting to see—he didn’t even know, but some reaction other than Sam’s usual easy friendliness. And there was something there, but it was just the twitch of Sam’s mouth that said he found something hilarious and he was trying not to show it. Was this Sam’s idea of a joke, or a prank? Because this guy—behind the glasses and mustache, Steve could have sworn—well, he looked like Bucky.
+ Post WS, Bucky’s made a new life for himself as a math teacher. Hijinks abound, with a sequel of Bucky’s POV for extra giggles

“Pedantic Affectations” (M, 15k) by relenafanel
Steve Rogers: khaki pants and ugly tweed wearing art history professor specializing in historical queer art (by day). Is actually Captain America, vigilante and the bane of Detective Barnes’s existence (by night).
Detective Bucky Barnes: A very clever cop who suspects something is up with Steve. Is frustrated that Captain America exists and is dedicated to finding him because he loves a good puzzle.
So, how does Steve convince Bucky that he's too boring to be Captain America? Go on a date with him.
(Steve is kind of really, really bad at this secret identity thing)
+ Modern AU where Steve is professor by day, vigilante by night, and a disaster all around

“Introduction to Fake Dating Your Best Friend 101″ (T, 24k) by crinklefries
Bucky stares at his best friend as though he’s absolutely lost what’s left of his dumbass mind.
“Excuse me?” he asks dumbly.
Steve sighs and sags back onto the couch, covering his face dramatically with one large, well-manicured hand.
“Dean Coulson thinks we’re dating. And gay. But like, for each other. And now I need you to fake date me so I can convince the Chancellor to fund my research.”
+ Modern AU where they’re both professors who fake date and pine for each other

“Dear Teacher, With Love” (T, 61k) by fancyh
In which Bucky Barnes becomes a teacher. Includes snarky teenagers, copious amounts of Starbucks, a cat named Alpine, and a soft redemption story for our favorite hero.
+ Post WS. While recovering, Bucky impersonates a science teacher and gets adopted by the students and staff

“good on my own (needed me)” (E, 11k) by mcwho
There are some mistakes that could be made by anybody. Anybody. Bucky taught high school pretty much his whole life, and that was fine, those were kids, and he knew all of them anyway, which meant there was very little chance of him accidentally fucking any of his students during an impulsive post-marital-breakdown Grindr hook-up. Which is exactly what he had done with Steve.
+ Modern AU where Bucky’s a college professor and found out his summer grindr hookup is a student at his university
