"Oh whatever. You could do betta than me, anyway." Race told me. It looked like he was only half joking. "Higgins, don't you dare say that. I can only think of one guy better than you. It's my brudda, and I have to think he's the best guy alive. I owe 'im that much after he raised me, don't I?" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In which the beautiful girlsie Y/N "Quick" Kelly falls for a gambling, cigar loving newsie called Race. Especially with Y/N as co-president of the union, will their blossoming romance find a place among the dangerous newsboy strike of 1899?

Ten years ago in 1889 there was a little girl at the age of 6 running away and her name was Emma. Emma ran away from her abusive parents and she ran into the infamous Jack Kelly. He was the leader of the Manhattan Newsies, he took Emma in with the boys in the lodging house. Emma soon became known as Tiger, the only Manhattan Girlsie. Jack took care of Tiger as if she was his own blood she was pretty much his sister and every Newsie knew this. Tiger used a special technique to sell her papers just like every other Newsie. Tiger was a flirt and known for it, it was how she sold her papes. Yes Tiger was a flirt but she swore to herself that she wouldn't get into a relationship especially with one of the Newsies but Racetrack Higgins her best friend took that as a challenge. They always flirted with each other but Racetrack wanted more, he wanted to be with her. With Tiger. His Tiger.

What could possibly make Spot so shaken up he'll hand over Brooklyn? What could make Jack so shaken he'd give up Manhattan? Only one thing: Race and David have been taken. But where? How? Why? But why do they care so much about them? Well, first we need to go back to the beginning. We need to go on their journey with them. From their first meeting, to working side by side in the strike, to growing closer and falling in love, and all the things in between, dealing with the problems their kinds face in the unforgiving world. But the whole thing is bigger than all of them. This isn't a fight for just Newsies anymore--it's a fight for love, family, friends, rights for all, and the fight for the right to exist in a world like this and the right to tell those stories. But can they fight all these fights and finish them Once and for All? (I DON'T OWN NEWSIES. NONE OF THESE CHARACTERS ARE MINE. ONLY THE STORY IS MINE.) Please, no slurs, hate, homophobia, etc. in the comment section.

Racetrack Higgins. A boy who embraces life as much as he can. A boy who is fine with who he is. A boy that always follows the rules. A boy that doesn't realize how dark the world really can be. A boy that ALWAYS has a smile on his face. Albert DaSilva. A boy who feels nothing anymore. A boy whose family drives him into the ground day and night. A boy who works non-stop to provide. A boy who only breaks the rules in order to protect someone he loves. A boy who carry's the weight of the world on his shoulders. Spot Conlon. A boy that hates everything. A boy who hates the world, people, and most of all; himself. A boy that always breaks the rules. A boy that ALWAYS wants to cry, but no tears ever come out. Racetrack and Albert are already a couple, what will happen when Albert falls for the King of Brooklyn and introduces him to Race? Can Spot start to follow the rules? Will Race start to learn that the world isn't just sunshine and rainbows? Will the two of them realize Albert is on the brink of breaking?

None of it is mine. I don't post on a schedule. If you dm me; I don't answer immediately (sorry, that's just who I am) I do have typo's and I sometimes will leave an author's not and sometimes I won't. I might leave chapters on cliff hangers. Please no homophobia, hate, or transphobia in the comments (I will report you) If your homophobic or transphobic you might as well just leave. Byeeee! Buttt for the ones who stayed I really hope you enjoy this book!

Race and Spot are dating and have been for a while. Their relationship is like no other from flirty dares to chaotic challenges, their competitive streak turns their relationship into a battleground of who will fold to the other first. Their friends watch (and fuel) the madness, placing bets on who'll break first. Love, pride, and plenty of steam are on the line, where the only rule is: don't back down. Modern day Sprace story (minor Javey, Spromeo, Blush)

Racetrack Higgens has a soulmate. They had deep, beautiful brown eyes. They didn't have a good living situation, if the dark brown spots that covered his back and slashes over his ribs were anything to go by. They were ambidextrous, and they had been cutting neat lines into their arms since Race was 14. Spot Conlon had a soulmate. They had bright blue eyes and were perfect, Spot was convinced of that. They wouldn't want him, he was convinced of that to. Also posted on Archive Of Our Own (My_Coffee_Is_Hot_Chocolate) and Tumblr (just-gimme-half-a-cup, yell at me or request prompts there).
