This is my story. Take it for what it is or don't. Why should I care? I should because most people think that this strike was unneeded and/or that we, Newsies, overreacted. If you think that, you are lyin' to yourself and ought to be soaked for tarnishin' the good name of the Newsies a' New York. This is the story of how us Newsies won the strike, and how I met the love of my life, Spot Conlon.All Rights Reserved

No Fear |A Newsies Fanfiction| by kallilovesdean

"In 1899, the streets of New York City echoed with the voices of newsies, peddling the papers of Joseph Pulitzer, William Randalph Hearst, and other giants of the newspaper world. On every corner you saw them carrying the banner. Bringing you the news for a penny a pape. Poor orphans and runaways, the newsies were a ragged army without a leader until one day all that changed.....for Brooklyn, too."

NeuroQueersies ~ The Diverse Story of the Newsies' Strike by VaquitaLibra

In 1899, the streets of New York city echoed with the voices of newsies. Newsies--kids, teens. Kids who came from everywhere. Kids who didn't fit the gender binary. Kids who didn't love the way they were supposed to. Kids who didn't think the way they were supposed to. Every single one of them defied society's stereotypes against them. This is their story. I don't own Newsies. All rights go to Disney. Only this story and story alone is mine. Please, no homophobia, transphobia, slurs, hate, etc.

The Last Rose of Summer by TheQuietHufflepuff

In 1899, two aspiring reporters get caught up in one of the biggest events of their time; a newsboy strike. Eleanor, Ellie, and her friend aim to be more than vaudeville reporters, and when opportunity comes their way, they immediately jump on it. But with the strike comes the leader. Jack Kelly. Ellie finds him both endearing and annoying. Sweet and frustrating. All is well until the strike goes wrong and then he finds out who she truly is. But the newboys and their fellow reporters are resilient. They refuse to quit before they're done, and that strength and courage may save them in the end. And perhaps there is also a chance for love. *I don't own Newsies. All credit goes to Alan Menken and Jack Feldman. I only own Ellie.*

Out of money and broke she resorts to selling papes with the infamous Newsies. She soon realizes however that the great Newsies strike of 1889 wasn't everything it was said to be, promises are still being broken and amends and justice to the Newsies were never truly served. Can she save the Newsies and keep her true identity a secret? Or will a developing fancy for Jack Kelly the great ruin her once and for all?

This Ain't Just Newsies No More ~ Sprace & Javid by VaquitaLibra

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.

Dszahdh - A Newsies Oneshot Book by E_J_Hawthorne

A oneshot compilation for the broadway version of Newsies that began with someone else's typo (here's lookin at you, @omg_im_totes_biii): There are lots of different X readers within; enter at your own risk. There is cringe galore. If you enjoy these stories, go check out @DaydreamShimmer and her works. She's my brother and she writes amazing stories!

Pink by Teddy006

Natalia Falto has been blind her whole life. But that never bothered her. When you live in New York it doesn't take you long to run into the Newsies. So no one was surprised when the group of boys adopted the blind girl into there group and gave her the nickname of "Sights" And then she ran into someone, literally. Just that meeting seemed to change her life.
