Charlotte Ocompo was a normal 21st century teenager from Queens, hopeful for a kickass summer ahead of her. However, nothing could have prepared her for when she stumbles into a portal that sends her back in time to the Manhattan newsies lodging house in the year 1900, one year after the newsies strike. 

There, she meets the infamous Jack Kelly who takes her under his wing and shows her how to survive in the 20th century under the alias of Kit the newsie. Kit has to forget everything she knows about her old life and learn from Jack the art of carrying the banner and soaking bums. 

Despite a rocky start with the Delancey brothers and the cold hearted Brooklyn newsies leader, Kit adjusts quickly to the harsh realities of the newsies lifestyle. She even catches the eye of a certain newsie (well she only ever sees his one eye) and a mysterious Brooklyn newsie who seems to have more secrets than she does. 

With the portal slowly appearing closer and closer to her with each passing day, Kit knows she can't stay in the past forever. But something is holding her back, and she's determined to figure out what it is. 

Can Kit keep up the facade without slipping up that she's from the future? Why was she sent to the past? Who was that blonde girl she saw downtown? Would it be crazy if a psychic could answer all her questions in asinine riddles? 

Follow Kit on her adventure to the 20th century. 


A Newsies Fanfiction based off the 1992 Disney movie

In Between 'Hattan and Brooklyn || A Sprace Story by Broadway_Crackers

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.)

New Kid, New Century • A Newsies Fanfic by mkestis

It's been over a year since the strike has settled and the newsies haven't had any problems with Pulitzer since. But that's not to say that they didn't all have problems outside of work. Jack and Katherine were unhappy together. They didn't feel the love towards each other that they used to feel. Yet they were too scared to say something to one another. Crutchie wanted for his long-time crush to love him back, although he knew that would never happen. Still, one could dream. Davey and Les's father had been severely injured by an incident at work. He wasn't so lucky this time around and passed away due to blood loss. This drove their mother into a state of insanity, forcing Davey and Les to pack up their things and leave. They now live on the streets with their fellow newsies, struggling to support themselves just like every other newsie. Their lives were still pretty crappy and hopeless, but hey, they were still alive and that was what mattered. Then, a new kid shows up at the gates of The World and sends their lives into chaos once more.
