LoVe teacher AUs??? Pweeeease
I apologize for taking so long on this one, I was desperately trying to find a tumblr fic posted around the time the movie was coming out wherein Logan and Veronica end up teaching at Neptune High (and they haven’t spoken since like the events of Season 1 iirc) and at first Logan has all the power until Veronica realizes that Logan flinches every time someone calls him Mr. Echolls because it reminds him of his dad and then Veronica has all the power and for the life of me I can’t find it, so if this sounds familiar to any of y’all please!! Help me out!! 
New to VM Fic Recs: 
More Economic Than Drugs or a DrinkAuthor: catefrankiePairing: Logan/Veronica; Wallace; Lilly; Mac; Carrie Rating: TGenre: Friendship, Genuine Delight Setting: AUSpoilers: 1.06, “Return of the Kane” Chapters: 1Word Count: 7989Status: CompleteSummary: She left New York journalism and got this teaching gig because it was supposed to get her away from egos and general smarminess, not because she wanted to worship at the altar of some English teacher with stupid hair and tailored shirts and the arms of somebody with really good arms, and seriously, who wears tailored shirts to teach high school? What high school teacher even has tailored shirts? High school teachers AU, the "enemies" portion of a potential enemies-to-friends fic.Notes: I am convinced I’ve recommended this fic on the blog before but I can’t find it oh no guess i have to praise it all over again: veronica asking logan if he's ever been punched in the face is a DELIGHT and god when mac tells lilly the story and then lilly starts talking about what a great person logan is 😇 LOGAN TELLING CARRIE VERONICA IS SASSY AND CARRIE TELLING HER IT WAS A COMPLIMENT!!! logan saying they could put lynn's name over veronica classroom too MY SON [heart eyes] @ this fic. honestly y’all this fic is a dream. logan taking the piss out of everybody just to see if they’ll continue to agree with him and veronica trying to rip him to shreds is a thing of beauty.   
Sing It Out With Me, Then Let It GoAuthor: catefrankiePairing: Logan/Veronica; Wallace; Lilly; Mac; Carrie; Mr. Clemmons Rating: TGenre: Friendship, Genuine Delight!!!!!!! Setting: AUSpoilers: 1.06, “Return of the Kane” Chapters: 2Word Count: 9482Status: In ProgressSummary: Part two in the high school teachers AU. A multi-chapter enemies-to-friends piece with a large supporting cast. Far too ambitious for the writer. (Sequel to More Economic Than Drugs or a Drink) Notes: I never knew the above fic had a sequel. The notes that follows are the exact unfiltered, unedited thoughts I had while reading this for the first time: VERONICA RATTING LOGAN OUT FOR TEXTING!!! the bit about how he should be lounging in an evening gown!!! logan imitating mr clemmons!!! I WAS TEXTING YOUR GIRLFRIEND. THIS FUCKING IDIOT. MY LOVE. "you're texting lilly?"

Teachers LoungeAuthor: irislimPairing: Logan/Veronica; Wallace; Mac; tons of OC’s Rating: PG-13Genre: Romance, Friendship Setting: Post-Series AUSpoilers: All series Chapters: 10Word Count: 46851Status: CompleteSummary: Post-series, no-movie AU. Veronica is a dedicated career woman who reluctantly agrees to sub for a local teacher on maternity leave. The resulting run-ins with former friends' kids make her think twice about her life. And that charming English teacher? They used to be much more than friends, a long time ago. An unapologetic excuse to put grown-up LoVe in a high school setting.Notes: This fic features two generations worth of Veronica Mars characters, as pretty much everyone Veronica went to high school with has a kid attending Neptune High where her and Logan are teaching. And (spoiler) Veronica genuinely believing Logan has a kid for about two chapters while Mac and Wallace casually forget to correct her is hilarious. Also (another spoiler) Logan and Veronica secret date!!!!! 
When I Kissed the TeacherAuthor: lavellenchantedPairing: Logan/VeronicaRating: TGenre: Secret Dating!!!!Setting: AUSpoilers: N/AChapters: 1Word Count: 473Status: CompleteSummary: Everyone at Heart College knows that Law Professor Veronica Mars and English Professor Logan Echolls despise each other. Why, no one’s quite sure - and no one’s brave enough to ask. Professor Mars is known across campus to be terrifying and impossible to please, and Professor Echolls … well, he’s kind of a mystery and it’s rumoured that his father’s a murder, so no one’s keen to push on that door.Notes: This is more like a fic preview with the added bonus of a beautiful graphic to go along with it, but I love it too much not to include it. And.....maybe....there will be a full length version......please

We were proceeding up the coast and started to go to one of the points off the coast and GPS took us to the entrance to La Farge Quarry. There was a sign telling us to turn around because it’s private property. We did and ended up at another point which had a lighthouse on Presque Isle, which we were told means almost an island in French. As you may have guessed, it's really a peninsula. We drove past the lighthouse to the water where they had a picnic area to have lunch.  A very peaceful place and there was a beautifully carved and engraved granite bench in memory of a man who obviously loved that point. We decided to go back and take a look at the Lighthouse Museum which was free. There was a curator there who goes through a part of the history and then we explored on our own. After Owen finished his introduction, we asked where he was from. He said North Carolina and I said me too, where in North Carolina? He said near Winston-Salem and that piqued both our interests. I asked him to be more specific and I think he was getting irritated but he said Clemmons. I said we were there two weeks ago because our friend lives near Clemmonsville Road in Winston-Salem. It turns out he's been vacationing up here for 20 some years and now spends his summer up here doing docent work at the Lighthouse. The lighthouse was nice and we climbed up this one just to say we have been in a lighthouse.   Today was a long day of mostly driving. We ended up in Mackinaw City for the night. In the morning we went to a 1800s reenactment settlement in downtown. That was very interesting. Everything there was authentic, with birch bark canoes, the dress of the people including some Indian outfits and ladies spinning yarn, etcetera. Pictures will give a more complete story. About mid-morning it was time to cross the famous Mackinac Bridge. It’s a toll bridge and only cost $10 for a two axle RV. We found out that whether the word ends or C it's pronounced as a w because that's the way the Native Americans pronounced it. Now we all know. We just drove north headed toward a town called Brimley which had one of the three National Scenic roads in Michigan. On the way there we stop for “Provisions” in an out of the way place off Interstate 75. While we're walking to the store a man came up to me and said is that your rig. I said yes and offered to show it to him while Elizabeth did some shopping. As we're walking there I found out Tom was retired Navy and was suffering from agent-orange poisoning from at least two tours in Vietnam. But the interesting fact was, while we were in the van and we talked about him being a navigator on gunships in Vietnam he said something in German which means what goes up must come down which I translated that he had crashed at least once. That started a whole new conversation. His father was an officer in the Luftwaffe during the war and was granted permission to come to America where he was interned near Detroit while they investigated is fitness for staying in America. He grew up speaking German, but was told not to speak German when he started school. We went back to the grocery store and had another long conversation where he explained to us about his service in Vietnam and some of the things he did which were pretty hairy. He was there when the Tet offensive started and flew in a gunship that went up to Hue to help attack the 25000 NVA. They got to the city we're taking fire from artillery and a pilot had Tom take over the navigation to set up the rockets. They fired all the rockets and knocked out most of the artillery. then took the gunship down between the buildings with about 5 feet to spare with both door gunners firing their 7.62s, they flew down the street lighting up the buildings on each side at NVA  who were hiding in. We could have talked for hours but we only talked for about 30 minutes longer than we started to. One of the men who lived in his town and I think was a relative was in the group that got attacked in Afghanistan by 300 Taliban from that group that got attacked back in 2009  He didn’t survive. Very interesting.   Aug 3   We took the road from Brimley around to Whitefish Bay through Paradise to Whitefish Point. On the way we stopped at a state park look for a campsite. When we got to entrance to the park, the sign said they were full. We asked if there were any other campgrounds around they said no. One girl looked another and said we do have one spot and we can let you have for tonight if you're only staying one night. We said is it near the bathhouse? She said not very far. It's our handicap site that we hold open till the end of the day but you can have it. I don't even remember what we paid because she didn't give me a receipt. We had the only large paved level parking space but you can almost spit to the bathroom.  We learned now how to get the last spot in a Michigan State Park and the end of the day. It was a great spot and it rained during the evening so we just chilled out and got ready to drive up to Whitefish Point, the end of the national Scenic Highway. We went to see some falls but they weren't quite as spectacular as some Falls we've seen, but they lower falls were two levels and the minerals in the water make it look like they're rusty. At Whitefish Point, we saw the maritime Shipwreck Museum included four buildings incorporating the old Coast Guard Station there. The exhibit was very moving because it talked only about all the shipwrecks and how many people had been killed including the famous Edmund Fitzgerald wreck. They had a video about that which it look like footage maybe from the other ship that was with them, because it was very realistic. After that we backtracked to go past the Upper Falls of the river we had seen but we didn't go in to look at that fall. We took a chance and headed north to the shores of Lake Superior to take an “improved” gravel road along the lake to the pictured rocks National Lakeshore. The gravel road was pretty bumpy but doable at about 25 miles an hour. We got a little worried when a few rain squalls popped up which could have made the road impassable, but it didn't rain that much. There was another RV in front of us way ahead and many cars, trucks and vans meeting us so we knew the road was passable. After about 15 miles, we hit a paved highway and went on the Grand Marais. It was time to stop for lunch again. While eating lunch, a man walked by and said is it already Miller time. I told him to look at the plate on the front of our RV and he said I guess it is 5:00 somewhere and it's just about noon here. As you might imagine, we ended up having a long discussion about the area. He has a hunting lodge about 15 miles back where we came from and his wife was down the bank from where we were eating picking wild raspberries for a pie. Steve was an interesting character. He told us that in the middle of June, the bay in front of us is a Derby for seaplanes and pontoon boat flying in to do tricks, aerobatics, etc. He got one of the pilots to get him a ride in an old two seater Otter to look at his property from the air.  Steve sat in the front seat and the pilot flew from the backseat. He also pointed out to the breakwaters where 3 boys ages 14 and 16 had been swept off in a storm and we should go see the plaque at the end of the point. We would never have known about that if we had not had that chance encounter with Steve. One of the boys are rescued by crazy person who jumped in the water to try to help him. Steve reminded us that Lake Superior makes its own weather patterns and it can get violent in a hurry. We meandered through the National Lakeshore, which has the Pictured Rocks, stopping off at some of the pull outs until we got to Munising. At first we didn't think we're going to find a campground but we found one that was newly opened and told them we were on our way. We passed a really nice campground on the way that had spaces but we had told those people to hold Campground for us so we went on to it. It had only been opened a month and they gave me a 10% military discount.  We had booked a campground in Christmas, Michigan, founded 1936!  We only booked one night and when we got there a campsite we drove past an RV just like ours accept a slightly different model with a small slide out and a Murphy bed. After dinner, we walked over to chat with Jim and Linda call. Theirs is a 2014 so we discussed some of the similar issues that we both have had. His refrigerator will only work on gas right now so they had had to throw a whole refrigerator food away because they've been gone most of the day on an Excursion in their Jeep. I told him about the engine light problem but didn't discuss the electrical problem we're having with the main circuit board.  They really like the RV and they live in Utah after retiring from the Civil Service in the Maryland area. We kept talking and it turns out Linda has a mitral valve problem also. I told her to go to Cleveland Clinic but she says her insurance company doesn't want to do a prophylactic fix. I told her mine was leaking but my insurance company fixed it even though I was not having major trouble. She has when I consider the worst insurance company in the world, Blue Cross Blue Shield. I told her I’d totally ditch that company and get a good HMO. Probably overstepped my bounds there but I had nothing but trouble with BCBS when I was forced to have that when I worked for the state of North Carolina.  We exchanged emails and we will hopefully keep in touch with them. Well it's Sunday morning and very muggy and overcast. We have a boat tour scheduled for two to ride along the shores of Lake Superior paralleling the pictured Rock National Lakeshore. We will spend one more night at a different Campground because while this Campground is new and it has a wonderful bathroom, there is only one stall in the men's room for about 70 campers. Granted the sites come with full hookups, but they're ours many tents and pop up campers that don't have full hookups. We're glad we didn't reserve two nights here. The other Campground is closer to town and is $10 a night cheaper right on the lake. More to follow with pictures soon.   We have to close our windows almost every night because of the camp fires. Why do 98% of the people think we enjoy smelling like smoke and polluting our lungs?  Ugh.     Aug 5 – Aug 6 AM   We got up and had a relaxing morning with a nice long walk to the outskirts of Christmas, Michigan and back to our campground. We checked out a little early went to the new campground before we're able to park to pay for the spot and go downtown for our lake cruise. We got a nice parking spot near the boat dock and just killed time until the boat left. We were told to be there early because the line starts to form to be on the top deck. We got there 45 minutes early and there were already 6 people in line in front of us. We got really good seats on the upper deck.  The weather was overcast, but warm and the wind was what was produced by the boat. After we got out of the no wake zone, the boat picked up speed and we headed out to the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore. You'll see that at the end of the array of photos after this narrative. They're very hard to describe in words and we hope the pictures do them justice. This morning we take a glass bottom boat tour to see some shipwrecks. After that, we will continue on up the Upper Peninsula in the direction of the place that we will take airplane ride over to the Isle Royale National Park.  We have five days to get there so we should make it in time.
