No Fear |A Newsies Fanfiction| by kallilovesdean
21 parts Complete
"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."

Leslie is a 14 year old orphan in New York. She’s stuck in an awful orphanage until she’s 18 years old. The only thing that makes life bareable is her big brother, Jack, who comes to talk o her through the orphanage windows. That is until Jack gets arrested. But when he breaks out, he comes for Leslie and they run away, hiding from the police together. Now, it’s months later and Jack and the newsies are going on strike because of raised paper prices. That’s when Leslie meets Spot Conlon, the fast talking, wise craking, cocky king of the Brooklyn newsies. He’s too cocky for comfort with Leslie and he just thinks she’s pretty. But as time goes on, will they develop feelings for each other? But by the time they do, will it be too late? Will Leslie’s past catch up with her? And will the roughness of the streets threaten to tear her and Spot apart?

In which a girl travels back in time to the Newsies strike of 1899. She finds new friends and a new life. What more could she want? And when the time comes, will she choose her new life over her old? Based off of Newsie movie. I own nothing except for the plot and my original characters. Please comment, suggest, etc.! Anything to make my stories better! This was one of my first stories, so bear with me if it seems kinda trashy.

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.*

26 parts Complete
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.
