    Summary

    Once Mayer is cleared to go back to work, though, nights like those are few and far between.

    As promised, as soon as their father finds a new job that will be easier on his health, Les and David are back in the classroom, learning literature and arithmetic as though their summer hadn’t been taken over by the strike. David had considered it a miracle, and Les had dreaded it since the start, but school was in session and David finally had structure back in his life.

    That was what was missing, right? Structure. A clear plan. No roadblocks, no mishaps— a guidebook to the rest of his life, one he had made up when he was far too young to worry about such things.

    Summary

    Summary

    Pain was something that came with the “poor kid on the streets of New York” gig.

    Pain, dirt, holes in shoes and clothes, hunger pangs, that came with it.

    All that came right along with living day to day on a couple dimes a week. Fights were unavoidable when you were in charge of a group of kids, or even if you weren’t, really, and when the choice was between new shoes, lunch, or a place to sleep out of the rain or snow, well, medicine cost more than going hungry a few days. There was one right choice and two wrongs ones there, for the most part.

    Summary

    He also knows the dizziness dropped and turned into a wave of lightheadedness, his loss of senses had been progressing throughout the day, but it quickly ramped up as his family was sat around the table for dinner, and before he knew it, the tight grasp that feeling of “something isn’t right” had on his chest let go as suddenly as David’s consciousness did.

     

    This is a prequel to a multi-chaptered fic I'm writing at the moment. The fainting condition isn't necessarily the main focus, but whatever I started writing this to get inspiration for that and liked it enough

    Summary

    David gulps, and continues moving until he's right in front of Jack, who in turn presses himself flat against the truck and winces. "Jackie," David whispers, then hesitantly brings his palm up to rest against Jack's cheek. Jack takes in a sharp breath at that, and then David gently guides Jack to tilt his head up, to look at David, and--

    David’s eyes go wide. "Oh, my God, Jack…"

    Summary

    It's the end of summer, Mayer's arm is better, and David has to hold up his end of the deal, it's time to go back to school. It's no surprise he doesn't want to go back after the best summer of his life. David isn't sure exactly, how to bridge the gap between those two worlds, that of books and bowties versus independence and acceptance. The newsies will always have his back though, right?

    Summary

    Davey is a little bit of an unrealistic dreamer, while Jack is the one trying to keep them afloat. Davey goes ahead and makes it worse. I know the roles are typically reversed, but I’m kind of vibing the “above the fold” scene while Jack is still in a mood.

    If you like it, I’ll keep going.

    Summary

    Speakeasies and roadsters, prohibition and organized crime. New York is no stranger to the furthest reaches of man’s desire. Some want fame and will do anything they can to get it, others want money. Some just want to solve the damn problem. It isn’t all so linear, and it’s hardly a piece of cake. There’s peril, romance, and a very fine line between the two.

    A.K.A - A 1920s Newsies AU; Davey’s a detective/investigative journalist, Jack’s an artist by day and a performer by night, and Spot and Race are rival gang leaders at each other’s throats.
