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.)

Call Me Back Home by emdoesntlikeyou

⭐️ •• "time is slowly tracing his face, but strangely he feels at home in this place." •• ⭐️ In 1894, the only thing on Elizabeth Bownett's mind was getting home. Snow covered streets were her enemy, she could barely see as the snow pelted her numb skin. Get home, was all she could think. Elizabeth had stayed out late, again, to sell the last few papers she had. It was blur, it went by fast. The cold of the snow, the way she looked at the stars like she was pleading for help. Make it stop. She walked through Manhattan. Get home. Don't tell them. Forget about it. Forget about everything that happened. No one can know. (No characters belong to me, except for Elizabeth! This is a fanfic, for some of you that requested it, based off of the Newsies! Broadway Musical) Started: August 2nd, 2016 Finished: April 3rd, 2021

NeuroQueersies ~ The Diverse Story of the Newsies' Strike by VaquitaLibra

In 1899, the streets of New York city echoed with the voices of newsies. Newsies--kids, teens. Kids who came from everywhere. Kids who didn't fit the gender binary. Kids who didn't love the way they were supposed to. Kids who didn't think the way they were supposed to. Every single one of them defied society's stereotypes against them. This is their story. I don't own Newsies. All rights go to Disney. Only this story and story alone is mine. Please, no homophobia, transphobia, slurs, hate, etc.

Can their love blossom and bloom even though Kate doesn't understand what is happening? Will Katie accept Daniel and her role as Luna of a group that is supposed to be a myth? Throw in her best friend being a Werewolf and a group of Hunters and Rogues plotting against the group and all you got is trouble. But the big question is, will they save each other?

*Spinoff series off of Incubus!* * * * * * A mysterious boy. Rachel has to adapt to the new secret visitor that only she knows the truth about. A boy and a girl. An unconscious, forbidden love. * * * * * My breath caught in my throat as I looked down at the boy huddled in the corner of the shed, his luminous and electric eyes slowly closing. He didn't know I stood there, open mouthed and witless, watching him. But there I was. And if on that day my mother hadn't asked me to double check the doors on the shed so raccoons wouldn't poop in it again, I would have never discovered him. He would have just disappeared like a ghost. I knew what he was. And he wasn't human even though he looked it. He was far from being a human. * * * * *
