(By Spot Girl) An Excerpt: Winter, 1894.
A small boy scurries along the sidewalk. His hair is the color of the mud his work boots splatter on the pavement. It snowed last night, but the cool white blanket that settled over the city has already turned an unapealing shade of beige.
Welcome to New York.
The boy tips his weathered cap to a well dressed lady as she passes by him.
What a kid. He's barely a day over twelve, but he's already a real charmer. His name's Jack Kelly.

Nickels (Spot Conlon x reader) {Completed}
Nickels. The word could mean a lot. It could mean the metal, that was almost impossible to break. It could mean the coin that was worth a pretty penny. It also could mean the coin, that if you weren't careful with, could slip through your fingers and down the gutter. It could also mean one of the most feared newsies in all of New York. But, what no one knew is that Nickels was a girl. No one, except Spot Conlon. DISCLAIMER: I don't own newsies!!! Also, sorry if I don't get their accents wrong! 😅 Also, the plot will be different from the movie/play Also, there is some swearing and implied sex at one point, so just a warningComplete

Brewin' in the Boroughs
"Race, what's goin' on? Where 'ave ya been?" Crutchie asked, eyeing the boy with worry. Race ignored him and continued limping to the stairs. "Race, get back over here. Crutch and I stayed up waitin' for ya, the least you can do is tell us where youse been." "I'm fine," Race mumbled, not stopping. Jack quickly stepped forward and grabbed the younger boy's arm, not missing the way he tensed up. "C'mon Race, look at me. What's wrong?" Race slowly turned around, keeping his eyes down with the brim of his hat casting a shadow across his face. "I just had a run-in with a couple of guys who were lookin' for a fight. I got a little beat up. Really, it's nothin'." "It's not 'nothing' Race. You're walkin' worse than I do!" Crutchie exclaimed. Jack grabbed Race's chin and tipped it up and Crutchie gasped. Jack's eyes widened too as he and Crutchie got a glimpse of their brother's face. Crutchie's face turned red with anger, his hand clenching his crutch tightly. "Who did this to you?" *** It's a month after the strike, and everything is going great... until it's not. It starts with small arguments with newsies from the other boroughs, and only gets worse. None of the boys know whats going on, but they're trying to ignore it, until one day something happens that none of them can ignore. A/N: Sorry about the sucky summary, I'm bad at writing those.Complete
The Last Rose of Summer
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.*Complete
