okay so this is a new adaptation of a very old but still very near and dear to my heart book i wrote when i was at the peak of my newsies obsession. as i continued writing the book over three years ago(holy shit) it became less about the newsies and more about the who the characters had become in my story. so here is MTAB (a new and improved version) still very very loosely based off the broadway show Newsies!

Call Me Back Home
⭐️ •• "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, 2021Complete
It's Quiet Uptown
"Uptown is a part of the Harlem borough." Jack started. "They hark headlines for upper Manhattan. Everyone knows Fred Dalton, the leader of Harlem; decent guy. There's rumors that he's secretly Uptown's leader too; under the name Mason." "Wouldn't the other newsies find out?" Davey asked. "If he was 'Mason', he'd be revealing his own secret." "That's the kicker," Jack chuckled. "No one's ever seen Mason." -Completed- {'Newsies' belongs to Disney, as it is a Disney musical.} {Music and lyrics belong to Jack Feldman and Alan Menken.} {The Uptown and Harlem Newsies are my own characters.} {Some lyrics have changed due to my decision on how the story flows. For example, in 'Once and For All', Brooklyn, Harlem, and Uptown (and some of their newsies) have their own line where the Manhattan newsies usually would.} {Please Do Not Steal My Work.}Complete

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
