    While David was talking to the driver, Crutchie had pulled himself up onto the back of the trolley car.

Without thinking, David jumped down off the curb and sprinted after the trolley as it began to pick up speed."

    Jack is busy, so David and Crutchie go off and have an adventure.

    Summary

    “You got stabbed?” Race interrupted, worry evident. That was probably the huge amount of blood on his shirt.
    The blond shrugged his shoulders dismissively as much as he could do so with one arm still over Racer’s shoulder. “Not that big of a deal, the otha’ guy’s off worse."

    Summary

    Ever since Lillian’s disappearance, they’d been so paranoid about letting him do anything. They hadn’t even wanted him to become a newsie in the first place.

    He wades through the sea of newsies, trying to start the walk home, when something catches his eye.

    A crooked nose and a smile just like his.

    He spots her in the crowd from at least thirty feet away, which should be impossible.

    But… it’s not, somehow.

    Specs meets up with his runaway sister, completely on accident.

    Something no one tells you about going on strike- it can get pretty boring.

    Summary

    After the strike and creating the Newsboy's union, David Jacobs thought his life couldn't take any more unexpected twists or turns. But that all went downhill with Jack Kelly.

    That loud, cocky, very good looking best friend of his.

    But Jack can't feel like that about him, right? Well an invitation to a private booth in Miss Medda's theatre may prove otherwise.

    Summary

    When Katherine breaks up with him, Jack is forced to confront his feelings for his best friend. Meanwhile, Sarah is trying to convince Davey that Jack has feelings for him too.

    canon era javid. can be post strike or during strike or literally honestly whatever fits best!
    jack and dave are obviously pining for each other but they're both too stubborn to say anything. they're both very very direct with all their advances and they flirt and touch literally all the time. but they both want the other to make *the big move* and so it's just a silly back and forth of who can make the other break and fess up? - from fic exchange prompt

    Summary

    Jack has all the freedom and none of the security. And Davey is jealous.

    Learning to throw a punch won’t fix this. Becoming a writer won’t fix this. This is Davey’s, his whole life. Familial expectations, familial duties. Jack doesn’t change a thing.

    So, Davey packs it away. Boxes it up tight, ships it to the North Pole, and lets it go. He tries to enjoy this, his friend over for dinner, everyone happy and smiling. He succeeds, he thinks.

    Summary

    There were very few newsies who would wander over to Brooklyn without Spot Conlon’s say-so, and you’d probably be surprised to learn that Crutchie was one of them.

    Summary

    Spot and Race are a bit older than the rest of the Newsies (except Jack and Davey). They stay in Brooklyn most of the time, Race visits every once in a while but they haven’t gone back together in a long time. Spot is friendly with the Manhattan Newsies and they all love him, he just doesn’t come down a lot due to past mistakes and events he refuses to talk about.

    Summary

    Oscar Delancey does not care about David Jacobs kid brother, but that doesn’t mean he’s about to let him bleed out on the street either.

    xxx

    ‘For a split second the kid's body became someone more familiar, the dirty street their old kitchen floor, the pool of blood spilling between the stone cracks the one that dripped from Morris’s nose.’

    Summary

    20 years after the strike David attends a party thrown by a man named Gatsby.

    xx

    He found it ironic, the recent move East that seemed to be overtaking the country. Maybe it was due to the many years spent listening to the fantasy of Sante Fe that he found it difficult to imagine people wanting to move anywhere but West.

    Summary

    Skittery liked David, he did, but the guy wasn't hard to read.

    --

    'He couldn’t believe he thought that this would be an easy sell, and just to get to Dave’s for some biscuits. Admittedly, it was mostly to prove a point to Swifty, and partly because he was bored. Still, it had backfired on himself and his emotional state more than he was expecting, which realistically he should’ve known it would. Because it was always easy to think about something, and how it would work in theory. In practise, out loud, it was different.'
