(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
