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.All Rights Reserved

Brewin' in the Boroughs by 12YearsInAzkaban

"Race, what's goin' on? Where 'ave ya been?" Crutchie asked, eyeing the boy with worry. Race ignored him and continued limping to the stairs. "Race, get back over here. Crutch and I stayed up waitin' for ya, the least you can do is tell us where youse been." "I'm fine," Race mumbled, not stopping. Jack quickly stepped forward and grabbed the younger boy's arm, not missing the way he tensed up. "C'mon Race, look at me. What's wrong?" Race slowly turned around, keeping his eyes down with the brim of his hat casting a shadow across his face. "I just had a run-in with a couple of guys who were lookin' for a fight. I got a little beat up. Really, it's nothin'." "It's not 'nothing' Race. You're walkin' worse than I do!" Crutchie exclaimed. Jack grabbed Race's chin and tipped it up and Crutchie gasped. Jack's eyes widened too as he and Crutchie got a glimpse of their brother's face. Crutchie's face turned red with anger, his hand clenching his crutch tightly. "Who did this to you?" *** It's a month after the strike, and everything is going great... until it's not. It starts with small arguments with newsies from the other boroughs, and only gets worse. None of the boys know whats going on, but they're trying to ignore it, until one day something happens that none of them can ignore. A/N: Sorry about the sucky summary, I'm bad at writing those.

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.) Started: May 31st, 2021 Finished: August 27th, 2023

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.*

Nickels (Spot Conlon x reader) {Completed} by demipuff17

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
