Y/n Jacobs, the sister of David, Sarah and Les Jacobs had decided from the age of 11 to become a newsie. So she ran away while young and joined the Queens' newsboys, which made it hard because she's a girl among men. She had never lost a fight, she's done so by outsmarting everyone she met, taking out anyone without even having to lay a finger on them if she wanted to, which is how she earned the nickname 'Underhand'. Her bravery and strength got her the title of "The Queen Of Queens", which also means that she rules the Flushing newsies, and for the sake of drama, all of Queens. She can deal with the toughest of men, but what happens when she falls for the most infamous of them all? The King of Brooklyn.

She co-leads the Newsies Strike, but when she goes home, she catches the eye of the King of Brooklyn. How will these two fare during these times and with the betrayal ahead of them?

Being Spot Conlon was harder than everyone thought. Everyone thought he was cold and distant and very scary. Many people thought he didn’t possess a heart, which was not true. He did have a heart, he just hid it well. He needed to be aloof, that was the only way you could survive in Brooklyn. Being a street rat made you hard.

After her mom leaves (Y/N) for her boyfriend, she gets to live with her Aunt Medda in Manhattan. However, with a bridge so fasinating to cross she might not spend her time in 'Hatten for long. Quick Disclaimer: This follows the 1992 Movie plot. However, I do take creative liberty in some aspects of the story. For instance, Spot doesn't have an easily googleable backstory that isn't based on theory so I made one up. Also I decided to fast forward modern medicine and education just a little bit. This also takes place about a month before the strike so we can have time for development.

Couldn't find any Spot Conlon X reader's so here's one to enjoy!
