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.
(written for newsies fic exchange 2024-2025!)

Summary
A suicidal Jack takes a moment to reflect before the deed is done and he is lost to time.
He winds up on a fence of a flat block of five houses, he looks into each one finding a fragment of himself and what he once was but can now only wish to have.
Well, until flat number five where the strangers is the one watching him -

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
Fandoms: Newsies!: the Musical - Fierstein/Menken, Newsies (1992), Newsies - All Media Types
31 Jul 2019

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
All that Jack Kelly wants is time and space to create, and what better place to escape to than the Metropolitan Museum of Art? But Jack doesn't expect to find a hidden society of people who've had the same idea, and he certainly doesn't expect the mysterious blue-eyed boy in their charge. Loosely based on Stephen Sondheim's Evening Primrose.

Summary
So that's what he said. Except, he said it in a more joking tone; something like, "If you don't quit that, I'll start crying, you idiot."
But Jack just kept holding him.
"It's okay to cry, Dave."
or; David gets flashbacks of some less than pleasant memories and his boyfriend is more than happy to comfort him.

Summary
A tragedy occurs in the Jacobs family, preventing David and Sarah from getting into college. As much as Davey adores his family, he can't stand the feeling of guilt anymore and packs up his life to move to a small but lively village in the English countryside. Jack Kelly, who had no interest of attending college, spontaneously follows him out of the country, accidentally forcing his friend, Antonio, into it. The three of them eventually make themselves at home. Soon they notice strange things happening in the town, and are curious to investigate.
This is inspired Agatha Christie's Miss Marple series of books.

Summary
David thought Jack was walking out of his life. Riding away on a carriage to the train yards, leaving everyone that loved him behind? How was that fair?
Or: a little introspective on David's part on the final scene of the film, and how it should've gone (in my opinion)
