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.

This Ain't Just Newsies No More ~ Sprace & Javid by VaquitaLibra

What could possibly make Spot so shaken up he'll hand over Brooklyn? What could make Jack so shaken he'd give up Manhattan? Only one thing: Race and David have been taken. But where? How? Why? But why do they care so much about them? Well, first we need to go back to the beginning. We need to go on their journey with them. From their first meeting, to working side by side in the strike, to growing closer and falling in love, and all the things in between, dealing with the problems their kinds face in the unforgiving world. But the whole thing is bigger than all of them. This isn't a fight for just Newsies anymore--it's a fight for love, family, friends, rights for all, and the fight for the right to exist in a world like this and the right to tell those stories. But can they fight all these fights and finish them Once and for All? (I DON'T OWN NEWSIES. NONE OF THESE CHARACTERS ARE MINE. ONLY THE STORY IS MINE.) Please, no slurs, hate, homophobia, etc. in the comment section.

His Queen- Spot Conlon X OC by broadwaygirl2211

Josephine Carter became the first and only female Newsie when she ran away from her family at the age of ten because they didn't love her. Jack Kelly found her and took her in, treating her as his little sister. That's when she became a part of the newsie family. Granted, the guys did sometimes get on her nerves but they respected her just like they would anyone else. But when the price of the newspapers rise, it creates trouble for Josephine and the boys. It seems like things are becoming impossible, that winning the strike is impossible. When she meets a certain feared leader from Brooklyn, she starts to think that some things may not be impossible after all. . . .

The Runaway Girlsie by TheQuietHufflepuff

Adie Gray, formerly Adelaide Walsh, enlists the help of a dear friend to run away from her abusive father. While on the streets, trying to survive, she meets the newsies. Jack Kelly, realizing her talent, enlists her to work with him. Has the cowboy met his princess? Will her father catch up to her? Will they raise a torch and carry their banner? *I don't own Newsies. I only own Adie. All credit goes to Alan Menken and the creators of this awesome show. Sidenote: The version of Jack I imagine is that of Jeremy Jordan's. You're free to imagine others who have played the role of Jack Kelly.

Queen of New York (Jack Kelly x Reader) by hangmansgbaby

Y/n is the Queen of New York, or at least that's what everyone calls her. But who wouldn't. She has everything. Great looks, great singing voice, luck with selling papes, and an amazing boyfriend who also happens to be the leader of the Manhattan Newsies, Jack Kelly. But her life isn't all that perfect. She has flaws like the fact that no one knows her true identity. No one knows her past, no one knows why she was in the refuge all those years ago, and certainly no one knows who her father is and she intends to keep it that way. But when a female reporter by the name of Katherine Plummer, shows up following the story of the newsie strike, y/n's secret is on the verge of being shared to everyone, and to make matters worse, it seems Jack isn't the greatest boyfriend ever when he constantly seems to be pinning over Katherine and ditching y/n. Can y/n keep her secret and her boyfriend or will she have to choose one or the other? If it says 'Liza' anywhere please tell me so I can change it or you can just mentally change it to 'y/n' because it's a reader insert now!!! /\/\/\/\/\Highest Ratings/\/\/\/\/\ *as of 04/12/21 - #8 in #newsiesfanfiction - #6 in #newsiesthemusical - #2 in #andrewkeenanbolger - #22 in #jeremyjordan - #63 in #newsies

Spot Conlon's Territory | A Newsies Fanfiction by sequoiawriter

Kat Kelly: independent, sarcastic, and younger sister of Jack. NOT someone who needs "protection" by the reluctant King of Brooklyn himself, Spot Conlon. But when Spot and Kat start to catch feelings and word gets out about Kat being Jack's sister, the newsies find out that some people will do anything to stop the strike, including harming Kat. Based on the 1992 movie, but anyone can read!

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.
