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.]

Summary
“I don’t want you do something stupid on international television when you could’ve just downloaded Tinder,” Weiss says. Blake smiles—there’s the Weiss she knows—and goes back to folding her shirt.
“I’m not going to do anything stupid,” she says. “I’m not looking to meet anyone, and if I was, I wouldn’t go after wannabe reality TV stars. But they’re going to fly me all over the world, Weiss, and pay me more than I made in four years of royalties off my last book.”
“When you put it like that, it sounds almost reasonable.”
“That’s because it is,” Blake says. “Now help me pack or get out of my apartment.”
“Just promise me you won’t actually marry someone you meet on reality television."
(Blake agrees to become Remnant's next bachelorette for a lot of reasons, but getting married is absolutely nowhere on that list. Then, of course, she meets Yang.)
