Destructive - Newsies | Sprace by SomeFormOfWriting
18 parts Complete
Winter. A time of year the newsboys of New York City wish they skip over. It got cold- real cold. Newsies all over would start showing signs of sickness within the first weeks of winter. Not as many people are out on the streets, which means not as many people are there to buy papes. Money gets scarce and it's not like any of them can afford a winter coat. Wintertime is chaotic enough as it is, but when you're a newsboy trying to juggle a forbidden relationship, the death of many friends, and the return of a psychotic family member? Yeah, things can get a little... destructive. Story length: 27,730 ------------------------------ THERE IS A BREAKDOWN OF THE MOVIE VS MUSICAL AT THE VERY END WHERE I JUST DISSECT THE MOVIE AND WHATNOT. IT DOESN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE TO ME WHETHER OR NOT YOU READ IT, I JUST WANTED TO PUT IT OUT THERE. DISCLAIMERS: - These characters are not mine, they all belong to Disney (excluding a couple little side characters here and there) - The word 'queer' is used frequently towards the end. While I am fully aware that it is not always used as a slur, I just couldn't bring myself to have one of the boys say the 'f' word. (You know the one) - This is going to be a mix of the 1992 Newsies and the Broadway Newsies, so I apologize in advance if you get a little confused. I just can't decide which is better, but for some characters I can only see them as the 1992 version or the broadway version. - Main difference: The relationship is going to be Jack and Katherine, meaning that neither Sarah nor Denton exist. Sorry about that, but since they aren't the main focus of this story anyways, hopefully you won't change your mind about reading this purely on that. - I made the cover using pictures off of the internet so credit to Google Images

She's the King of New York

14 parts Complete

Katherine Plumber has been pulled into a large strike in the summer before the turn of the century. See her part of the strike through her eyes as she experiences situations and feelings she never thought she would. The story begins right in between Watch What Happens and King of New York. So about halfway through the musical. This is a complete story with 14 chapters. Update day will be Fridays or Saturdays, if you don't see it on Friday, check again on Saturday. I do not own the Newsies or the characters in it. This is kind of a crossover story, because I mention a character or two from the original movie. Disney owns all of the characters. I used some of the dialogue and that is also not mine. That goes to Disney and Harvey Fierstein. There are some added scenes so this is not your average strike story. The cover art picture is not mine, I found it on the Internet. It is a still from the movie. I slapped the text on it though. As far as OC's go, there is only one and he appears at the very end. He is mine, so please ask before you use him! Anyways, enjoy the story! Please review and please be kind in the comments, because I am new and this is my first fanfiction! Thanks, and enjoy the story!
