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

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.

No Fear |A Newsies Fanfiction| by kallilovesdean

"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."

"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.
