    Summary

    And, yes- maybe, whenever he saw Jack brush his lips over Sarah’s cheek, a pit was left in David’s stomach, and maybe that pit grew larger every time he watched Jack choose someone over him. But then there were those one-armed hugs and those wide smiles that shown solely for him, all little fragments in time where that pit in his stomach didn’t hurt. And maybe it wasn't everything Dave wanted, but maybe, maybe, it would be enough.

    Summary

    In this story formatted interpretation of Newsies, we see a reimagined Jack Kelly and a somewhat different love interest for Jack. We see backstories for some of our favorite characters, and insights on their lives before and during the strike. All of your favorite Newsies numbers guaranteed! Told in third person, told mainly in Jack's storyline. This telling shows the struggles of child labor during the Industrial Revolution in a more realistic light.

    Based on the real Newsboys Strike of 1899, set in New York City at the turn of the twentieth century, NEWSIES is the rousing tale of Jack Kelly, a charismatic teenager and leader of a ragged band of teenaged “newsies” who dreams only of a better life far from the hardship of the streets. But when publishing titans Joseph Pulitzer and William Randolph Hearst raise distribution prices at the newsboys’ expense, Jack finds a cause to fight for and rallies newsies from across the city to strike for what’s right.

    Summary

    Jack is uneasy about leaving. Katherine is in reporter mode and completely unhelpful. Set immediately after the musical. One Shot that wouldn't be ignored after seeing it in the theaters...for now, at least.

    Summary

    David was a bright boy with a bright life ahead of him. His future was a good job and a good wife and beautiful children. Jack’s future was poverty and loneliness and a broken dream of a city he’d never make it to.

    *****

    A drabble based on my belief that the Santa Fe Reprise was actually Jack singing about David, rather than santa fe (it makes sense I promise)

    Summary

    “We absolutely do not need this many bathrooms.” Davey pointed out. He wasn’t sure how an apartment could have one bedroom and three bathrooms, but it did. Jack, however, was thrilled.

    “Davey. Look. Look, the soap’s shaped like fuckin’ shells!”

    Summary

    Jack Kelly moved out of his apartment to avoid his impossibly gay roommates, only to (maybe) meet the love of his life and become impossibly gay himself.

    It's sort of an 'out of the frying pan, into the fire' type situation, if the frying pan is Spot and Race making out and the fire is Davey Jacobs.
