A collection of one shots starring everybody's favorite newsboys. These will be Modern AU's, Post-strike, Pre-strike, and other ones post 1899. I would love to do a casting call if anyone is interested. I do not own the Newsies, Disney does. My cover art is a still from the movie that I found on the web. It is from artisanspr.blogspot.com. OC's are mine unless you've entered yours into the casting call. This is a crossover with Broadway and the original movie, so everyone except for Jack is available. That could change, but I really like Jack and Kath, if you can't tell from my other fic. :) Enjoy the story!

The Newsies gang holds a history longer than most of the other gangs in New York City. Jack Kelly is the fearless and current leader of a group of paper boys on wheels as well as the leader of the Newsies gang. The boys struggle with their dominant employer beginning to treat them poorly, mostly because it's well known that these boys are in a gang, through his refusal to pay them anymore than what they earn from the tips that they receive from the deliveries they make. While Jack and the rest of the gang struggle with that, there's a new rumble happening in the city. A new sock hop opens up with friendly intentions during opening hours that turn sinister behind the kitchen doors which could very well spell bad things for New York City. That leaves Jack and the boys with one task, to protect the people and the city they love. However, the more the boys visit the sock hop, the more emotional and personal the issues that arise seem to get. Will the boys be able to protect each other, the people and the city they love? Or, will they fall to the unkindness of a new gang and suffer? I own nothing except for my OCs(yes, there are going to be a decent amount of OCs. Some you might recognize from There's A Life That's Worth the Living). Disney owns Newsies, both the Broadway and the original movie from 1992. I also do not own the title. That is from Carrying the Banner during the nun part. One of the Newsies sings it.

Selah Dixon loves books and is going to be a librarian someday. She is planning on being single for the rest of her life and is going to get a cool job. All of that changes when she meets the Newsies. Selah begins to experience and do things that she never thought she would do. This is a companion/alternate story to my brother @DaydreamShimmer's Stuck In the Lodge and Icicles stories. Selah originated in Icicles. I don't own the Newsies or the other OCs that are not mine.

A Modern AU in which Jack Kelly lives with at least twenty other foster kids. Every single day is difficult for the kids as they avoid the authorities and try to stay out of trouble. Until a murder happens, and one of Jack's boys is the prime suspect. Jack, the usually optimistic dreamer, sees no way out. Until he meets this cute girl at work and suddenly things start looking up. Will Jack and his friends, new and old, be able to clear the suspect's name before it is too late or will they be separated forever? I don't own the Newsies from either the original movie or the Broadway. I don't own my title technically since it is a lyric from Santa Fe in the Broadway. I know the summary is not that great, but at least take a peek.

"I'll take them all!" "You'll what?" "You heard me." -- in which a rich city girl finally has a reason to catch the attention of her long-time crush but soon suspects things aren't all as they seem. ( romeo de los santos ) ( romeo x oc ) ( newsies ) 98% of this cast does not, unfortunately, belong to me, as I'm sure you know if you're a fansie. If you are not in fact a fansie, then I suggest you go watch Newsies and then come back here once you're done.

( finch cortes ) ( finch x oc ) ( newsies ) As much as I wish I did, I do not own Newsies and therefore cannot take credit. Only Lane and a few select others are mine.
