The Last Rose of Summer by TheQuietHufflepuff

In 1899, two aspiring reporters get caught up in one of the biggest events of their time; a newsboy strike. Eleanor, Ellie, and her friend aim to be more than vaudeville reporters, and when opportunity comes their way, they immediately jump on it. But with the strike comes the leader. Jack Kelly. Ellie finds him both endearing and annoying. Sweet and frustrating. All is well until the strike goes wrong and then he finds out who she truly is. But the newboys and their fellow reporters are resilient. They refuse to quit before they're done, and that strength and courage may save them in the end. And perhaps there is also a chance for love. *I don't own Newsies. All credit goes to Alan Menken and Jack Feldman. I only own Ellie.*

New Kid, New Century • A Newsies Fanfic by mkestis

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.

The Leader Of Queens: Rewrite by PichuIzzy

"I never forgot you." "Neither did I." Friend. Many people spend their entire lives searching for that. A friend. Someone to share their life to, to tell every secret, every lie, every blessing, every curse. To have a friend, is one of the greatest gifts of the world. One that once upon a time, Racetrack Higgins had that. Once upon a time, Anastasia Redwood had that too. Until, one day changed it all. The word, once so understood, so familiar became foreign, and forgotten until... The Newsboy Strike of 1899... Welcome, to LOQ, take two. Filled to the brim with angst, adventure, and love.

A Drunken Mess: A Sprace Story. by obsessedspracestan

A Drunken Spot sends a note confessing his love, to Race that causes some drama thanks to a certain Snipeshooter, fortunately this leads to a relationship which has its ups and downs and causes drama between fellow newsboys when Spot lets slip that it wasn't his idea to send the note...

The Only Girl Newsie by nydevotee

A Newsies Fanfic. Before the Strike, a young girl is kicked out of her home. The only place she's ever known. Wondering the streets a boy with a crutch and a boy with a heavy new York accent pick her up off the streets and give a second chance that she can't give up. Be a Newsie. Sure it can be hard running from Synder. Being soaked by Delancey. But at the end of the day its worth it maybe one day being in Santa Fe.

New Boy (A Javid Story) by musicalnerd1423

Davey Jacobs was the new kid. And boy, did he hate being the new kid. His whole life, Davey had gone to private school but now, since his father hurt his leg at work, he had to go to a public school. A public school, where he would have no friends. That is, until he meets Jack Kelly and his group of friends, dubbed the 'Newsies' due to their work selling the school newspaper and working on the school news team. Suddenly, Davey isn't so lonely anymore.

"Sing for me" David Jacobs by jeremyjordanobsessed

The daughter of miss Medda performs one night and the new Manhattan newsie watches her and falls in love that very night. {Davey Jacobs x OC} {1992 movie version}

Newsies Imagines by pioneergirlsie

A collection of various "Newsies" imagines written around 2016-2017. Thought it would be fun to keep them all in one place as a kind of time capsule back into my thoughts and feelings during high school. Posted in no particular order.

So Is You One of Us? by caitlin30599

Living on the streets of Manhattan are by no means easy. A lot of nights are spent behind dumpsters shivering because anywhere in plain sight could get you thrown in the refuge. Small jobs doing whatever you can for some money is what keeps you fed and only close to starving. But what happens when you take a job from the Delancy brothers and try selling papes for The World? Most importantly at the end of the day who are you gonna trust?

I'll Always Look Out For You by VaquitaLibra

15 years before the legendary newsies strike of 1899, a child was born. When he is 18 months old, he is brought to the Manhattan Newsies Lodging House. In time, he would be known as Racetrack Higgins. This is his story. This is the story of the newsies strike of 1899...but not as you know it. With twists and turns and new angles in every direction, you'll learn many new things about Racetrack, and his newsie family who watches him grow and develop in his own unique way. All rights to Newsies belong to Disney. All the photos (except one) for the cover come from newsiesfreak.com. None of these characters are mine.
