Drapetomania-
(n.) an overwhelming urge to run away

An abusive father, a murdered mother, and a mysterious missing brother. Life has just never seemed to work out for the Grant Twins. At only 2 years old, Kamron and Orson's mother, Alana was murdered by their father in the living room. In the weeks following, they were left to deal with Charles, an abusive scumbag they called a father. They were only very briefly told of an older brother who had run away years earlier. 
What will happen when Orson takes his mother's advice and convinces his sister to run away, knowing they can't stay their any longer. Who will they meet along the way? What will happen when their newfound family becomes the victims of a tyrant who goes by the name of Joseph Pulitzer? Will they win their freedom or will it be taken away by a single man.

"In this life, we will never be truly apart, for we grew to the same beat as our mother's heart." -Daphne Fandrich
"Brother and sister, together as friends, ready to face whatever life sends." - Unknown

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.)

My dad, my brothers and our childhood friend Noah Now my two loving brothers were traded by two deadly ones, my only father figure is a dangerous criminal and abuser...and my sister is rather keen on making my life harder than it is The only reason I don't up and leave is the little boy depending on me but I'll get us out of there as soon as I figure out a way I'm hanging on by a thread, barely keeping up with everything Valenciano makes me do when the Beauforts barge into my life Turns out, they decide to see an underground fight while they attend business in town. The same one Val is dead set on seeing me win for his own reasons.

Ten years ago in 1889 there was a little girl at the age of 6 running away and her name was Emma. Emma ran away from her abusive parents and she ran into the infamous Jack Kelly. He was the leader of the Manhattan Newsies, he took Emma in with the boys in the lodging house. Emma soon became known as Tiger, the only Manhattan Girlsie. Jack took care of Tiger as if she was his own blood she was pretty much his sister and every Newsie knew this. Tiger used a special technique to sell her papers just like every other Newsie. Tiger was a flirt and known for it, it was how she sold her papes. Yes Tiger was a flirt but she swore to herself that she wouldn't get into a relationship especially with one of the Newsies but Racetrack Higgins her best friend took that as a challenge. They always flirted with each other but Racetrack wanted more, he wanted to be with her. With Tiger. His Tiger.

You Can't Hurt Me by sherlockian_demigod

Race (15) lives in an old rickety house. His dad and him the only people, Race being homeschooled doesn't really get out much. So no one sees his pain, until struggling artist Jack Kelly moves next THERE WILL BE 🚨NO 🚨WARNINGS IN THIS BOOK BEFOREHAND, but it is rated PG-13 for: -Abuse -Manipulation -R slur -Suicidal tendency's -homophobia -Minor language (damn, crap, etc) -mild Pedophillia (like 2 scenes) -mild harassment (like one scene)
