    Summary

    This is the events of The Outsiders, pre-book, from the perspective of Darry. I LOVE Ponyboy with all my heart, but he is a bit of an unreliable narrator. This is all of the things he didn't see, the conversations he wasn't a part of, the reason for his misunderstanding of his big brother.

    Summary

    Manhattan newsies belong in Manhattan. That much is clear. Somehow, though, Racetrack Higgins thinks he's special enough to sell over in Brooklyn territory, much to Spot Conlon's frustration. He'll have to pay Race a personal visit to get him out. One visit turns into two when Race evades Spot's grasp, and then three, then four...

    or

    "C'mon, you don't really want me to go, do ya, sweetheart?"
    "Higgins, get the fuck outta Brooklyn before I shove my foot so far up your arse you'll taste it in your throat."
    "Oh, is you blushin', Conlon? Is ya?"
    Spot punched Race in the stomach hard enough to have him fall to his knees, wheezing. " 'Kay- maybe- maybe that was- deserved-"

    or

    a sprace AU that takes place before the events of newsies. race is selling papers on brooklyn territory and spot needs to get him out. slow burn, enemies to lovers, lots of good-natured fun and a dash of angst. give it a taste, you might like it.

    Summary

    It was an illness that could've been avoided easily, if David would've just guarded his heart more closely. Still, he found himself hacking up the contents of his aching lungs in an uncomfortably cramped alleyway with thoughts of Jack Kelly clouding his head, and he realized that there really wasn't any coming back from this. He'd made a mistake and his life was totally and completely ruined over a boy who'd never spare him a second glance.

    It was almost laughable, how much David loved Jack. He was a pathetic mess over the boy, with tiny blue flower petals stuck to his lips and chin, and visions of deep brown eyes swimming through his mind. David was lovelorn. Really and truly lovesick.
