    Summary

    "I think your first time should be something special. That it should be with someone you trust. And Spot? I don't know what the future has in store for us, but I know I love you now. Even if we end up... hundreds of miles away from each other, hating each other's guts, I want to know that my first time was with the first love of my life. Ok?"

     

    With the way Race was looking at him, you'd have thought Spot strung the stars in the night sky. He had just proclaimed everything to the boy of his dreams...and yet... Spot was only able to focus on one thing Racetrack had said.

    "You...you love me?"

     

    -----

    At 14, Spot Conlon never would have thought he'd fall in love with his teammate Jack "Cowboy" Kelly's younger brother, Racetrack, but life was full of surprises. Now 18, Spot couldn't imagine a life without Race

    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

    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.

    Summary

    [Reupload]

    It was the infamous Jack Kelly's annual New Year's Eve party and Spot just wanted to leave. Don't get it wrong, Spot always enjoyed himself at parties: free booze, dudes looking for a good time, and seeing his friends absolutely shit-faced.

    He did not like, however, people he didn't know swarming around him like dumbasses. Drunk dumbasses

    There was also the whole "kiss someone at midnight" thing. Spot wasn't a fan. He didn't like the idea of some guy try to make out with him because he had an opportunity to.

    As absolutely stupid as it was, he didn't want to kiss anyone at midnight unless they...they mattered to him.

    It didn't matter. As he said, it was stupid.

    _____

    Spot Colon wasn't searching for anything on New year's Eve.

    But then he met a boy named Race, and everything changed.

    Summary

    Spot might not have been the type to fall in love with flower petals and mushy loads of bullshit, but there was something about Race and the silly things he did that all but left him speechless. Like dancing in the kitchen at five in the morning to the sound of rain, for instance. Or running his fingers down his sides and squeezing his hips, pulling him closer until their chests were touching and Spot could smell the spice of coffee in his breath.

     

    The only thing Race asked for was a dance.

    Summary

    Rumor has it that Spot Conlon and Racetrack Higgins met when Race started selling in Brooklyn because of his love for gambling. That isn't as true as the other boys in their lodging houses tend to make it seem. Though, they don't necessarily mind the false rumors. They hide the much darker truth. The truth that still causes Race to make the walk from Manhattan to Brooklyn in the middle of the night sometimes, even several years later.

    Or

    It's pretty easy to form connections with someone you're forced into sharing a bed with while you're both being tortured.

    Summary

    Spot noticed that all his friends seemed excited by the prospect of laser tag, and he felt a sense of accomplishment wash over him.

    With it came the realization that his secondary plan could now be set into action.

    He decided to not dwell on it for the night as everyone made their way out. His mixed feelings on the situation would be Future Spot’s problem, not Present Spot’s.

    --

    Spot recently realized he was in love with none other than Racetrack Higgins. Instead of simply confessing, Spot crafted the perfect plan to see if Race would like him back — with a pretty damn embarrassing inspiration behind it involving laser tag.
