modern newsies hcs!!

- albert has pots and faints a LOT because he does nothing to manage it. has lots of bruises/cuts from this.

- davey wears a magen david around his neck. his mom gave it to him on his bar mitzvah day.

- race is a classically trained ballerina.

- kid blink is just constantly getting into fights at school (he wins)

- jack's mom died when he was a kid and after she died, his dad was abusive. jack was emancipated at 15.

- finch has autism. he's hyperfixated on birds and will randomly blurt fun facts.

- crutchie uses forearm crutches.

- spot has a bad knee injury from when he was a little kid and fell down the stairs. often wears a knee brace/knee tape. he doesn't explain it. theories are spread.

- splint is a bit of a ho (very affectionate) and the others don't understand how she gets so many men + women.

- katherine is on the girls' ice hockey team in high school. not only is she jacked but she is also violent when she's challenged.

- sarah is older than davey and jack by three years but only two years older than kath.

- race is abnormally strong, wins every arm wrestle ever. can pick spot up and toss him around like a pizza.

I had an idea and I'm going absolutely feral for it

Six of Crows newsies au

I have like a whole list of hcs and lore an shit that i cant find but I promise it exists 😭

Anyone who wants to share hcs is totally welcome I need all the help I can get with developing this because it's just bouncing around in my brain

[newsiesautismfrfr]

I’m glad that every person in the newsie fandom who likes jackspot (which is like three people) agrees that spot would NOT leave Brooklyn and go to Santa Fe with Jack. It’s angsty and DELICIOUS

[bryqe]

[bigmack2go]

When people ask what ships i have in newsies im always like

BRO??? I can maybe tell you the ships i dont have that’ll go faster. There are like three.

[fnich-enthusiast]

Hello hi if you didn't know I'm like,,, Obsessed with the Olympics so naturally a newsies Olympics AU had to happen.

First of all would like to acknowledge that a newsies Olympics AU already exists and it's a work of art. You can find it on Kath's blog @thefactsofthematter or on AO3 here

I will elaborate in later posts bc there is,,, a lot but Paris 2024 basics:

It's Jack's third Olympics, Davey's fifth, Katherine's fourth, and everyone else's first

Also it's Charlie's fourth paralympics

Him and Jack are brothers, not super important to the plot but important to me

Jack and Davey are married <3 v much openly queer pioneer athletes and I have SO MUCH backstory for them they're my favourites actually

Jack is the captain of the men's rugby sevens team, which Spot and Albert both play on

Davey's a heavily decorated diver, and is competing for the last time. He originally wasn't going to compete but then Les needed a synchro partner and Davey went what the hell why not

Also Jack and Davey are 32 and 31 respectively

Sarah was also an olympic diver, she's 3 years older than Davey and used to compete mixed synchro with him (which I know isn't an olympic event but this is an alternate universe where fictional newsboys are olympic athletes so the world is what I make of it - also I want all of the Jacobs siblings competing together)

Charlie plays wheelchair rugby and is actually the entire reason Jack got into rugby in the first place, he's two years older than Jack because I love some older brother crutchie

Finch is an archer, he's also very interested in the olympics and runs a tiktok account where he talks about all sorts like daily updates etc, fails to mention that he's competing until someone sees him on tv and is like wtf that's the tiktok guy

Race is Finch's best friend from home and is a skateboarder, was fully unaware that skateboarding had become an olympic sport and Finch watched in real time as Race realised they could both go together

Katherine does equestrian <3 I have not decided which event bc I think they're boring

They're all Team USA and I have so many more thoughts but this is getting long and also asks are open

Thanks to all the besties involved in this mess @we-are-inevitable @tarantulas4davey @jack-kellys @to-be-a-dreamer @wineandhargreeves @claireverlasting

[we-are-inevitable]

and the sun still sets the same // ch. 1 - javid

Summary:

“I get out of class at 5:30 on Wednesday,” David says, looking at the planner section of his notebook. “Do you wanna meet at 6 in the library, then? Figure everything out?”

Jack nods. “Yeah, sure. We can, uh, maybe bring some ideas. For the debate, or whatever.”

“Or whatever,” David repeats, giving Jack an unimpressed look. His head tilts just slightly to the left, and Jack watches David’s gaze look him up and down, like he’s sizing him up. Like he’s looking for his next meal, and Jack is the sorry piece of shit in his way. “Text me. I’ll see you on Wednesday.”

---

Jack and David live in different worlds. Frat parties and gay bars, chapter meetings and drag queens, beer pong and passenger-seat weed- they're a match doomed to fail, and they're waiting for the wreckage.

But maybe they're more similar than they seem. Maybe they just need some time to figure it out.

Maybe it comes down to decisions and choices, masks and veils, and how to straddle the line between them.

Author's Note:

HIIIIIII I AM SO EXCITED FOR THIS!! happy pride and please accept this little love letter to the queers, the freaks, and the fags <3 may you have a safe and happy pride month!

if you enjoy this, please comment and let me know!! this au has been rotting my brain for weeks and i'm so excited to share with you all!

enjoy!!

Read On AO3!
