  2. Summary

    A look into the lives of a pack of street rats just trying to make it during the turn of the century, and maybe being able to find some happiness along the way.

    A collection of newsies fics I've written over time, because this is my comfort media and I love these boys very much. All of them take place in the same timeline, but any of them can be read on their own.

    Disclaimer: they are written from a movie-verse perspective since that's what I grew up watching; that's not meant to gatekeep/deter anyone, just if there are any inconsistencies with the Broadway musical that's probably why.

    Will update as time permits. Enjoy <3

    Summary

    When Ted falls off a ladder working on the house in 2015 and hits his head, he wakes up with a most egregious side effect - he doesn't remember anything after the 1991 Battle of the Bands. And there's a lot it seems like he's missing. He and Bill have daughters, and a big shared house - but Liz and Jo are nowhere to be seen. So why is Ted wearing a wedding ring? And why does Bill act so weird when Ted brings them up? Bogus.
