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

In Another Lifetime, Maybe? by -crutchie_morris-

This Newsies fanfic is based off of IOTS (Island Of The Slaughtered,) and will depict lots of violence/gore, and various other mature topics. If you are uncomfortable with that, I would not recommend reading this fic. If you are ok with that though, enjoy! This story is also out on ao3! The account is CrutchieMorris.

Princess Pulitzer and The Common Boy ❉ Newsies//COMPLETED by katherinepulitzumber

Princess Katherine Pulitzer hates her life as it is. She hates being a princess and having royal duties and having to balance books on her head and all that (yes she really must do that). But when her parents say she must become betrothed to a boy in far-off England that's when she draws the line. After running away and learning what it's like to live on the streets (or in a tree perhaps) she falls head over heels (no seriously) for a common boy named non-other than Jack Kelly. With the help of him will she finally get the life she always wanted? And with her parents after her in the process, will they catch her before their daughter looses sight of her royal life?

I'm there, right by your side by becky_newsies4ever

The strike was over and Katherine was overjoyed. It couldn't have gone any better and not only had the newsies won, but she'd found something she never expected to have found, love. However there were struggles. She and Jack both came from incredibly different background and that often put a lot of strain on their newly formed relationship. Will their love for one another be able to withstand the pressure from Katherine's family and will they be able to pull though the hard times, to give themselves the future they'd both dreamed of?

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.*

Can she save the Newsies and keep her true identity a secret? Or will a developing fancy for Jack Kelly the great ruin her once and for all?

When Did We Deserve This by LadyNyxia

Lillian had everything she a girl could want, the newest clothes, tons of money, and parents that let her do whatever she wants. That is of course on the conditions of becoming a proper lady of society. So, she runs, ending up with the Manhattan Newsboys, and a certain blonde newsie. | So, this is slightly alternated, so homosexuality isn't such a huge deal and is quite common in this period. I wanted to create a more open time period but of course there will always be those people|

Seizing The Day//A Modern Day Newsies Story//COMPLETED by seaturtle00

PLEASE READ "Carrying The Banner//A Modern Day Newsies Story//COMPLETED" FIRST! You do not have to but it would help a lot. Finally, the strike is over. Life can go back to normal now, right!? Apparently not. Now there is another problem on the gang's hands, one that hits much closer to home. I DO NOT OWN MOST CHARACTERS IN THIS! PLEASE PLEASE TELL ME IF I AM MISSING ANY TRIGGER WARNINGS! Also this story deals VERY HEAVILY with all types of LGBTQIADP+phobia, so if you are sensitive to that I do not suggest reading this.

Unscripted (Jack & Crutchie) by SaigeBunnyRabbit

I decided I would try my hand at writing the history and "future" of Jack and Crutchie, if they had ended up together, unlike the script states. **Please read the first "chapter" for my author's notes. This is based on the MUSICAL. Not the 1992 movie. (Obviously MANY characters will appear, however, it asks to only list main characters)

Destructive - Newsies | Sprace by SomeFormOfWriting

Winter. A time of year the newsboys of New York City wish they skip over. It got cold- real cold. Newsies all over would start showing signs of sickness within the first weeks of winter. Not as many people are out on the streets, which means not as many people are there to buy papes. Money gets scarce and it's not like any of them can afford a winter coat. Wintertime is chaotic enough as it is, but when you're a newsboy trying to juggle a forbidden relationship, the death of many friends, and the return of a psychotic family member? Yeah, things can get a little... destructive. Story length: 27,730 ------------------------------ THERE IS A BREAKDOWN OF THE MOVIE VS MUSICAL AT THE VERY END WHERE I JUST DISSECT THE MOVIE AND WHATNOT. IT DOESN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO ME WHETHER OR NOT YOU READ IT, I JUST WANTED TO PUT IT OUT THERE. DISCLAIMERS: - These characters are not mine, they all belong to Disney (excluding a couple little side characters here and there) - The word 'queer' is used frequently towards the end. While I am fully aware that it is not always used as a slur, I just couldn't bring myself to have one of the boys say the 'f' word. (You know the one) - This is going to be a mix of the 1992 Newsies and the Broadway Newsies, so I apologize in advance if you get a little confused. I just can't decide which is better, but for some characters I can only see them as the 1992 version or the broadway version. - Main difference: The relationship is going to be Jack and Katherine, meaning that neither Sarah nor Denton exist. Sorry about that, but since they aren't the main focus of this story anyways, hopefully you won't change your mind about reading this purely on that. - I made the cover using pictures off of the internet so credit to Google Images

Love Will Do What It Does by pandafangirl2

Everything is going their way. But when Joseph Pulitzer finds out about it, will he and the Delancys tear them apart once and for all? Is there any way to keep them together? Can these two prove that love is stronger than anything? (Will be under editing soon.) (Takes place one month after the strike. Jatherine fic. The cover photo is not mine. Neither is Newsies, not matter how much I wish it was.)
