Finch has been in the refuge for years, making friends where she can and trying to survive on little to no food and a beating almost every day. It's not the best 'home', you can't even really call it that, but at least she's not alone. However, when her best friend gets sick, she soon finds herself escaping the refuge to find medicine, making new friends, and joining a strike. Will she make it through this crazy new experience?
[ I made the really bad cover btw and I don't own Newsies but my OCs and some of the plot in this story is mine. This story used to be called "A Finch Amongst Newsies" but that was a mouthful for me lol ]

New Kid, New Century • A Newsies Fanfic
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.Complete

The strike is over, the Newsies are hawking headlines once more, and all seems right in New York City. Jack and Katherine's relationship is going steady, and they're both very happy. 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.)Complete
Brewin' in the Boroughs
"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.Complete

But when something happened that I never thought would my whole life is turned upside down. Btw this story isn't like a fall in love by 2 chapters story. If you wait it out it'll definitely be worth it though. Or at least I think so. Spot Conlon x Female OC Newsies 1992 movieComplete
Seizing The Day//A Modern Day Newsies Story//COMPLETED
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.Complete
Crack the whip|| Newsies
Under editing I follow the storyline of the 2017 Broadway Musical. The strike is over and everything turns out the way they wanted... or not. Snyder managed to escape somehow and together with some familiar faces he's determined to bring down Jack at all costs. (I'm terrible at this... so sorry. If my English isn't really correct, I'm sorry but I'm dyslexic and English isn't my native language.) ⚠️Contains abuse and maybe more that I don't know yet. I ain't gonna warn you in each chapter, because it might take the surprise away.⚠️ This is the first story I really did finish, so I'm actually proud at myself. *Characters are not mine, but Disney's*Complete
