Destructive - Newsies | Sprace
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 ImagesComplete

"𝒀𝒐𝒖 𝒔𝒏𝒖𝒄𝒌 𝒖𝒑 𝒐𝒏 𝒎𝒆, 𝑱𝒂𝒄𝒌 𝑲𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒚. 𝑰 𝒏𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏 𝒔𝒂𝒘 𝒊𝒕 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒈." At fifteen, 𝐉𝐄𝐒𝐒 𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐋𝐎𝐍 walked away from Brooklyn and from the brother who never stopped looking for her. Now, two years later, she's carved out a new life among the Manhattan newsies. They're loud, stubborn, infuriating... and the closest thing she's had to a family in years. Then comes 𝐉𝐀𝐂𝐊 𝐊𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐘. He has a grin that spells trouble, a habit of getting under her skin, and dreams far bigger than the streets of New York. Falling for him was never part of the plan. But when Joseph Pulitzer raises the price of the papers, the city is thrown into a battle that will test every friendship, every promise, and every dream they've fought to keep alive. Because sometimes the hardest fight isn't for justice. Sometimes it's for the people who've become your home. 𝐉𝐀𝐂𝐊 𝐊𝐄𝐋𝐋𝐘 𝐗 𝐎𝐂 I only own Jess Conlon and any original characters.
