Summary
In the aftermath of Santa Fe, an all too close encounter with Snyder leaves a shaken Jack reeling. The strike on Newsies Square was an absolute failure, and Jack Kelly knows it's his fault. He knows, he knows he should have been there and if the image of Crutchie, helpless and carted off to the Refuge burn into his brain until he wants to collapse into his dream, need, for Santa Fe until this nightmare seems a little brighter he knows he doesn't deserve it.
What Jack Kelly was not counting on was Davey appearing at the edge of the rooftop, soft, hesitating, and undeniably concerned as he stepped closer to a dreamer who is veering closer and closer to falling apart.
Lucky thing one Davey Jacobs is nothing if not stubborn, and there's not a chance he's leaving Jack alone like this.

Summary
David 'Davey' Jacobs had never been a confident person, and he never liked the thought of touching others or being intimate with any other person. He'd never look at women, never think about that part of human nature, nor has he ever wanted to.
When he overhears the other Newsies, and his little brother, discussing his repulsive nature towards women, he breaks down. And only one person can console him and make him see that - actually - he is perfectly natural and not at all "disgusting".
And, of course, that person is his Jack Kelly.

When The Mouth Went Silent by DrawingsAndDreams

Summary
"Davey knew a lot of things, mostly from his school days. He knew how to read, write, and even do math. Most other newsies didn't commonly know all three, hell, most newsies commonly didn't have folks either. However, David Jacobs wasn't really a newsie, and he knew that in his heart and brain more than anything else."
Yes. This is a Davey angst fic. And a Davey centric fic. Angst and fluff ensues, and most of this was written at like twelve AM. We just need to get this boy and me some sleep. -

Summary
Davey was a light sleeper, he knew this. He also knew it was a bit of an understatement. He never knew why, but for as long as he could remember, every little thing would wake him. His opinion on the matter varied, sometimes it was helpful, like the times when he slept over at the Lodging House.
Alternatively, Davey is an insomniac, and he can never stay asleep easily. This story follows the adventures that occur after the strike as the Newsies learn that Davey is hard to prank, and Jack and Davey work through his insomnia together.
