The year was 1890. She was running away. She was going to have a new life. Anywhere would be perfect for her. But she can't read, and she doesn't even know her name. What happens when 7 year old Nessa Vanderbilt somehow ends up in Brooklyn, New York? How will she make money? Will she grow up with the Newsies that scour the streets? Will she fall in love? Read to find out.


Warning: Mentions of abuse and rape. Period-typical sexism. This is going to be a Newsies fan fiction. I do not own Newsies. I only own the characters and storyline that I created. Tread carefully.

110 parts Complete Mature
Racetrack Higgins was a normal Manhattan Newsie- more or less. He was Gay, but so were all of his brothers. He was Jack's Second in Command and had a rough past. He was stubborn, has anxiety, and is a good bit chaotic. Spot Conlon was not a normal Newsie. He was the King of Brooklyn, the Borough feared by most. Except for Race. (And a few others.) Said Italian blonde boy was actually a half Brooklyn, half Manhattan Newsie, as he sold in Brooklyn. Sure, Spot scared him sometimes, but not a lot. They were very different. Spot had brown hair, Race had dirty blonde. Race had been to the Refuge, Spot hadn't. Spot had brown eyes, Race had bright blue eyes. Race was strong, but easily outnumbered, Spot was strong, but wasn't easily outnumbered. One think they both agreed was that they cared for their boys more than anything and would do anything to keep them safe. Oh, that and that the other was cute. Or hot, depending on if you were Spot or Race. ~~ Excerpt from the Story ~~ "Hey, Race." Ace starts, picking up his cards every time Race passes one to him. Race hums, passing a card to Sling, then himself, and then Ace. "Do you have a crush on Spot?" Ace asks, still staring at his cards. Sling hides his smile with his cards in front of his face, stifling a laugh. "No." Race answers, his face reddening slightly as he passes out another card to each boy. Ace looks up at him. "BS." He responds, smirking. Race scowls at him, pulling his hat off of his head and smacking Ace with it, all while his face turns bright red. Ace and Sling laugh. ~~ ~~ (I do not own Newsies.)

Nickels. The word could mean a lot. It could mean the metal, that was almost impossible to break. It could mean the coin that was worth a pretty penny. It also could mean the coin, that if you weren't careful with, could slip through your fingers and down the gutter. It could also mean one of the most feared newsies in all of New York. But, what no one knew is that Nickels was a girl. No one, except Spot Conlon. DISCLAIMER: I don't own newsies!!! Also, sorry if I don't get their accents wrong! 😅 Also, the plot will be different from the movie/play Also, there is some swearing and implied sex at one point, so just a warning
