Summary:
For this prompt at avengerkink:
I'd like to see an AU in which all of the Avengers are children/youths in an orphanage.
Everyone except Tony Stark ends up at the 71st Street Home For Children and most of them have a past they'd rather forget. Bruce Banner befriends Tony Stark (not an orphan, but a precocious 7th grader and new friend of Bruce Banner's) at school and Steve Rogers decides that he and his friends make a pretty good team against jerks like Barney Barton and Loki. Those two things have nothing to do with each other. Until they do. Elementary school/Middle School Orphanage AU
Clint and Bruce-centric and Coulson is a teacher
