Newsies Stories

After wandering unknowingly from her home in Brooklyn, New York, eleven year old Millie is suddenly stranded in Manhattan with nobody to rescue her, nobody except Jack Kelly, who adopts her into his life under the name Splash. Two years later Splash embarks on a thrilling journey to help Jack and the newsies through the strike, and along the way some pieces from her shattered and mysterious past begin to resurface. *IMPORTANT* This story contains mild violence. I will put trigger warnings on sensitive chapters, but if I miss something please let me know

Ruby Willis never meant to become the heart of Manhattan's most chaotic brotherhood. At sixteen, she flees Santa Fe to escape an arranged marriage, landing in New York with nothing but a dusty dress and a stubborn hope for freedom. Then she meets Jack Kelly, the boy with dreams as big as the desert skies she left behind. What starts as a rescue becomes a partnership. Ruby becomes the "Duchess" of the lodging house, loved fiercely by the boys she mothers and the boy she falls for. Together, she and Jack face rival newsies, the roaring strike, danger in the streets, and the fragile tenderness of young love. But when the world threatens to tear them apart, they discover something powerful: home isn't a place. It's a person. From rooftop confessions to street-corner serenades, from found family to real family, this is the story of a girl who crossed a country to find herself, and found an entire world that refused to let her go. Romance. Chaos. Newsies. And a love worth fighting for.

Meet Clara Johansson: brave, independent, and clever. She's been a Manhattan newsie ever since her parents died when she was young, going by the name Red (for her naturally red hair).

But when greedy Joseph Pulitzer raises the newsie's buying price from 50¢ per hundred to 60¢ per hundred, the newsies are outraged. There's only one thing left to do...go on strike! When Red tags along with Jack, Davey, and Boots to ask the notorious Spot Conlon if he wants to join their strike, her life unfolds into an adventure she'd never thought she'd have. ______________________________________ Highest Rankings! #3 in Spot Conlon (September 27th, 2024) #1 in Chapter Book (October 18th, 2024) #15 in Broadway (June 3rd, 2024) #1 in Newsies (OH MY GOSH WHAT) (February 3rd, 2025)

In Direct response to @JaveyandDebuts I have formulated my own Newsies High School AU. Complete with toxic parents, cigarettes (American and British), autism, and a past incident at Medda's theater. Basically every character is struggling with something. Just... bear with me. Oh also it's told from multiple first-person points of view if you're into that kinda thing. Enjoy? I guess? I'll put more specific content warnings in chapters in which they appear but the general ones to worry about are smoking (thank you Race), emotional incest, parentification, abuse, and self harm... there might be more we'll see.
