"I'm trying to figure out how ten cents on a hundred can mean more to a millionaire than than it does to a newsboy. I can't see it..."
Jesse has never known a world without fear. He has no recollection of a mother's touch, nor a father's words of wisdom, nor a sibling's bubbly laughter. He has never been to school, never had a birthday party, never had a day of rest. He has never slept without hunger pains, never felt a soft bed beneath him, never owned a pair of shoes. All Jesse has are his fellow newsboys, a ragtag group of homeless and orphan children roaming the streets of New York in the late 1890's, desprite to make ends meet by spreading the word of the outside world through print, surviving on cents day. So when the kings of publishing raise the price of papers, throwing the peasants into further debt, Jesse must decide between joining his friends in the fight to be seen and change his destiny, or sticking to the safety of the shadows.

I Never Planned on This (A newsies fanfiction)
Henri, as well as the other newsies have been living a Newsie's dream ever since the strike was settled. With Governor Roosevelt on their side now, they're able to finally get a decent breakfast in the morning rather than the curdled coffee and concrete doughnuts they used to call 'hitting the motherload'. But a few years after the strike is settled, Jack goes off to study in art school, as Katherine suggested. Leaving Davey in charge, he leaves to study in Santa Fe, and takes Katherine with him. But when the Delancey brothers try and pick on the Newsies, believing that they're powerless without Jack, it turns into a bloodbath. And Henri finds herself as well as other newsies at risk of being sent to the new juvenile prison, The Wall. With the new warden for the Wall, Kennedy, hot on the Newsies' trail, Henri and the others need to be careful. But this turns into a bigger problem when Pulitzer himself gets involved, claiming that with Jack away, the prices go up higher since one of the Newsies that sells the most papes is away. This makes Davey and the Newsies insanely angry, and just may lead to another strike. There's the choice to wait for Jack to return and just sell more papers. But there's also the choice to strike again against greedy Pulitzer...only this time there's no reporter to help the Newsies out. (Author note: some characters such as Crutchie, Henri, and JoJo are going to be girls rather than boys, so I'm sorry if you don't like that. it contributes to the story. Also, I don't own any of the characters or pictures I use. Just the plot to the story.)Concluída
Order 73 ~DNF~
"Technically I ordered before all these people." I point out. "Technically I can have you kicked out for being an entitled nuisance so you better stand in that line before I lose my patience." Jeez, it was just a post-it to the forehead. It's not like I tattooed a dick on his face. //Dream is a self-made millionaire struggling with a company growing faster than he may be able to handle. George is months away from getting a doctorate, working at a coffee shop for some semblance of peace. A very expensive and sticky mistake later, their lives entwined more than either of them welcomed. Cross-posted on Ao3Concluída

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 ImagesConcluída
No Fear |A Newsies Fanfiction|
"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."Concluída

Nickels (Spot Conlon x reader) {Completed}
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 warningConcluída
