Alternate Universe - Teachers — Tag Meaning
Employs characters at the front of a classroom — colleagues across the staff room, rival department heads, or the music teacher and the gym coach who co-supervise detention. Writers enjoy the gentle comedy of canon's most dangerous characters wrangling seventh graders, and school-year rhythms give fics a natural calendar.

Alternate Universe - Modern Setting
The go-to tag for transplanting characters from a historical, fantastical, or futuristic canon into the present day.
