Summary
A motorcycle roared by outside the lodging house, and they all rushed to the windows to see who it was. who would be out at midnight in the pouring rain? To everyone's surprise it was Spot Conlon. He never came to Manhattan; he knew better with the territory situation than to ever step foot in Manhattan. They all rushed downstairs to ask why he was there, and maybe start a fight since clearly he was looking for one. They all crowded around him, and they started shouting questions at him. Jack pushed his way to the front his arms crossed and looking pissed.
"Why are you here?"
Spot's eyes scanned across the crowd, before sighing heavily. "Where is he?"
"Where's who?"
"Racetrack Higgins."
or
Racetrack Higgins was the most annoying person on the planet, but still he seemed to be the only one that could tame the spitfire that was name Spot Conlon.

Summary
The thought slapped him across the face, totally out of nowhere. Jack wasn’t really doing anything special— he was just reclined in David’s bed with his dinner on his lap, and he had a few chip crumbs on his thighs. He didn’t look any prettier than usual. He was just being Jack, staring off at the posters on the adjacent wall, probably thinking about the color composition or some artsy thing like that.
And David was in love with him.
With Jack. David was in love with Jack Kelly, and maybe he’d been in love with Jack Kelly for years and was just now realizing it, because of a stupid plate of quesadillas and the stupid way Jack said ‘made sure it was kosher, too’ because Jack cared about him and remembered the little things and holy shit, David was so fucking in love.

Rotten Deal by LeadingManhattan (Bludswing)
Fandoms: Newsies: The Broadway Musical! (2017), Newsies - All Media Types, Newsies!: the Musical - Fierstein/Menken
28 Apr 2024

Summary
During the strike there's more time between the rally and the plan to use the printing press in the basement of the World. Newsies are rightfully pissed with Jack and he'd be the first person to tell you that he deserved the cold treatment he's been getting ever since his betrayal. As aware as Jack is that this is just the consequences of his actions he'll still do anything to make up for what he's done, he despises what things have become and he won't just stand by and let the people he cares about pull away from him. He throws himself into his quest for forgiveness without so much as a second thought.
Jack didn't realize that even though his boys were angry with him they could never hate him. Maybe if he'd just taken a minute to talk about what happened things wouldn't have spiraled the way they did.

Summary
With that observation, Jack wondered, how many times could he poke and prod Davey before he put the book down and kissed Jack ‘till he was stupid? It’s a good question! Really, it is. Jack thought so at least. It’s a good question that surely needed to be tested for an answer.

Summary
Instead of just having Jack sleep on the printing press the Delancey's and Snyder do much worse. At the same time the newsies are falling apart without their leader even with David's attempts to cover till Jack gets back. Katherine knows Jack needs help but will the newsies still trust her after they learn the truth.
OR
I always found it weird that the only thing the Delancey's did to Jack when they had the chance to seriously harm him, was have him sleep on a printing press, so I changed that. There is also a lot of hurt for Jack but a lot of love from his newsies, Katherine and Medda for him after.
(PLEASE READ THE NOTES BEFORE THE FIRST CHAPTER)
