Based on the hit broadway musical NEWSIES.
The infamous Delancey brothers were more than brass knuckles and cold eyes. There was a story behind every scar and bitter word spoken. Nobody ever cared enough to find out their story, until now. It's a story of love and hate, good and evil, and about the struggle between who they are and who they want to be.

You are the Key--A Newsies (Spot Conlon) Fan Fiction #2
When Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst raise the distribution price one-tenth of a cent per paper, ten cents per hundred, the newsboys, poor enough already, are outraged. Inspired by the strike put on by the trolley workers, Jack "Cowboy" Kelly organizes a newsboys' strike. With David Jacobs as the brains of the new union, and Jack as the voice, the weak and oppressed found the strength to band together and challenge the powerful. (Written by Kaitlin Dwyer Rankins) Jack and David were the main characters, but they could not do it without Spot Conlon. Little is known about the King of Brooklyn, but as a character based on a boy who actually lived, he must have had dreams and ambitions just like fictional Jack and David. Here are my writings in a small attempt to give Spot Conlon the story--and the ending--he deserves.Complete

Crack the whip|| Newsies
Under editing I follow the storyline of the 2017 Broadway Musical. The strike is over and everything turns out the way they wanted... or not. Snyder managed to escape somehow and together with some familiar faces he's determined to bring down Jack at all costs. (I'm terrible at this... so sorry. If my English isn't really correct, I'm sorry but I'm dyslexic and English isn't my native language.) ⚠️Contains abuse and maybe more that I don't know yet. I ain't gonna warn you in each chapter, because it might take the surprise away.⚠️ This is the first story I really did finish, so I'm actually proud at myself. *Characters are not mine, but Disney's*Complete
