Summary
“Oh, come on. ‘Ferry Strike Drags On?’” Jaune complains, reading from the board. “It’s like Schnee doesn’t even want us to sell papers.”
“Better than another election puff piece talking about how great he is,” Oscar grumbles with a shrug. “Hawking that stuff makes my teeth hurt.”
“C’mon, guys, lay off. What do I always say?” Yang asks, tone dripping with cloying encouragement.
She’s rewarded with eye rolls and a ragtag chorus of voices ranging from unenthused to vaguely hostile: “Headlines don’t sell papes, newsies sell papes.”
[Or: Newsies AU! Blake arrives in Mantle with simple goals: stay away from the White Fang, keep her head down, get a job, and survive. The last thing she expects is to end up smitten with a charming fellow newsie like Yang. But when Jacques Schnee cruelly hikes the internal cost of the paper, Blake finds out that Yang’s been listening to all of Blake’s talk about fair labor practices and social justice a lot more closely than Blake realized—and the duo form a union that just might give both of them something to believe in.]
