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

Brooklyn Bridge by Newsiefanatic38

"Jack why's do I have ta come?" Race questions. "Because Racer, your my second which means you have ta come ta meetings and that includes Brooklyn." It's not that Race didn't like Brooklyn, he loved Brooklyn, he even sold his papers in Brooklyn, but the leader of Brooklyn terrified him in many ways. He was terrified of Spot physically and romantically. Race had seen Spot a few times and saw him during the strike, Race had fallen hard for this Brooklyn boy, but so many things could go wrong if Spot or anyone else found out about it. " Ace! Hotshot!" Spot yells. "Be ready by the time Jack Kelly gets here!" Spot yells again. To say the least Spot was nervous, he wasn't nervous of Jack, but he had heard rumors that Jack's second was coming with him. Spot new for a fact that Jack's second was Racetrack Higgins, the boy that Spot lets sell on his turf, the boy that he made laugh in the court room, the boy he had fallen in love with. Of course nobody can know about it, the things that they would do to Spot is the unthinkable. This is also kind of a musical, some of the Newsies will sing songs, some won't. I do not own any Newsie characters except Spike. I do not own any of the songs either. This is A sprace story if you haven't figured that out by now. I try to have two chapters in each week, might be more than that, might be less than that, just depends how my schedule's look. Some chapters are pretty short others are long. There's really no consistency with me. Hope you enjoy it!

It's Quiet Uptown by arizonagirlemi

"Uptown is a part of the Harlem borough." Jack started. "They hark headlines for upper Manhattan. Everyone knows Fred Dalton, the leader of Harlem; decent guy. There's rumors that he's secretly Uptown's leader too; under the name Mason." "Wouldn't the other newsies find out?" Davey asked. "If he was 'Mason', he'd be revealing his own secret." "That's the kicker," Jack chuckled. "No one's ever seen Mason." -Completed- {'Newsies' belongs to Disney, as it is a Disney musical.} {Music and lyrics belong to Jack Feldman and Alan Menken.} {The Uptown and Harlem Newsies are my own characters.} {Some lyrics have changed due to my decision on how the story flows. For example, in 'Once and For All', Brooklyn, Harlem, and Uptown (and some of their newsies) have their own line where the Manhattan newsies usually would.} {Please Do Not Steal My Work.}

FAMILIAR | Spot Conlon by hanna_mik

"𝚈𝚘𝚞 𝚕𝚘𝚘𝚔~" "𝙲𝚘𝚖𝚎 𝚘𝚗 𝚂𝚙𝚘𝚝, 𝚗𝚘𝚠" "𝚈𝚎𝚊𝚑 𝙲𝚊𝚖 𝚠𝚎 𝚜𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚛𝚘𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚕𝚢 𝚋𝚎 𝚐𝚘𝚒𝚗𝚐" "𝚏𝚊𝚖𝚒𝚕𝚒𝚊𝚛" My name is Alyssa Menken. But I've gone by Camryn ever since I ran away and became a newsie. But when something happened that I never thought would my whole life is turned upside down. Btw this story isn't like a fall in love by 2 chapters story. If you wait it out it'll definitely be worth it though. Or at least I think so. Spot Conlon x Female OC Newsies 1992 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.)
