The day started off very normal, just a bit colder than usual as the first days of fall set in, which came as a relief to David, though Les just whined about having to wear a coat.

"You just have to wear it for the morning, achi, till it gets warmer," David compromised as he zipped the jacket up.

Les still made a pouty face, but did no more complaining as he pulled his cap on.

"Let's go then."

David bought his papers as usual, then handed a few to his brother.

"Oh, c'mon, Dave!" Jack exclaimed, "Kid can take a few more! Can't ya, Les?"

Les nodded eagerly, and David rolled his eyes, handing Les more papers.

"Go gett'em, tiger!" Jack encouraged, sending Les off into the crowd.

David sighed, letting his shoulders fall.

"Jeez, Dave, you've got a cloud over your head," Jack teased.

"Just tired."

Jack shrugged. He didn't believe David's excuse, but there was no use in fighting it.

Jack threw his arm around David and smiled, looking up at the sky.

"Look at that sunrise, Dave," Jack said.

David, feeling awfully warm despite the weather, responded, "it's the same as every other sunrise."

Jack sighed dramatically. "You've gotta *look*."

And although he looked, David didn't see anything different, though he couldn't think right on account of the warmth invading his thoughts. He blamed it on Jack, who never seemed to be cold, no matter the weather, but the thoughts still didn't leave.

"Do ya see it, Dave?" Jack asked.

David shook his head, "it's the same."

Jack groaned, taking his arm off of David. "You's just crazy."

David laughed, soon accompanied by Jack.

And David couldn't help but think about how pretty Jack looked, even with his messy hair and soot covered face. He had such passion in his eyes, and the life coursing through him demaned an audience.

David soon enough shut his own thoughts down. No boy should be having those thoughts about another boy, David knew that very well.

"What would I do without you, Davey?" Jack questioned with a smile.

David smiled back.

Eventually, Les came back, showing off the shiny coins he'd made to Jack. Jack, as he always did, showered Les in praise, which lit Les's little brown eyes up.

Les grabbed Jack and hugged him, full of too much joy for his tiny body. Jack blinked, frozen for a moment, before hugging Les back.

"You're the best, cowboy."

"You too, kid."

Les was set up with more papers, this time accompanied by Jack and David, and the papers were sold before late.

Les was taken home without much fuss, but Jack insisted on taking David out with him. To where? David had no clue, and he wasn't sure Jack had any idea either.

So Jack and David began their walk, Jack leading the way. Jack also lead the conversation, jumping from topic to topic before landing on the sunset.

"Look at that moon! The moon sure is pretty tonight, ain't it, Dave?"

David shrugged. "Sure?"

"One day, I'm gonna take you to Santa Fe, and you'll see how different the moon is there than here," Jack said.

David sighed, but couldn't help the small smile on his face. "Sure you will."

Jack gave David a playful punch in the shoulder. "I will! Just you wait, Dave."

David rolled his eyes. "Santa Fe, Dave!" He echoed mockingly.

Jack laughed, and so did David.

After their laughter was over, a silence filled the space between them.

A few moments later, David found himself asking, "What's so different about Santa Fe?"

Jack paused a moment before answering, "I dunno. Just is."

David nodded, though that didn't make much sense to him.

There was silence again, save for the wind brushing through nearby trees.

David found his eyes drawn to Jack's bandana. He wore the thing every day, no matter what. It was worn, sort of tattered.

It reminded David of his Magen David that lay tucked under his shirt. He'd never taken it off, not once, since he'd gotten it the day before his Bar Mitzvah. Sarah had gave it to him, and Dave still had no idea where she got the money.

"Why do you wanna go to Santa Fe so bad?" David inquired as the question popped into his head.

Jack shrugged. "I..." He paused before shaking his head. "I mean, I've just gotta. That's all I've got, Dave."

"You've got me," David countered, "and Les. And the rest of the newsboys."

Jack bristled. "I don't know, mouth. It's just... I know I've got all these people, but..."

"They need you too, you know," David interjected. "You're Jack Kelly. They need you."

"I know. Maybe that's why I wanna go. They're ain't no one... depending on me there."

David sighed. Jack looked away, at the sky.

"I," Jack began, "wanna be something other than Jack Kelly." His voice was firm, some sort of deep buried resentment hidden in his voice.

"Why? You've got... everything."

"I don't want everything. I just want... enough."

"I mean, Les looks up to you like you're the Messiah or something. All he talks about is Cowboy."

Jack stiffened up. "David—"

"How could you want more?—"

"Maybe I don't wanna be no 'cowboy', David! Ever thought of that?" Jack snapped, shoving David.

The shove wasn't hard by any measure, but David still flinched.

"Maybe seeing Les's eyes looks so much like M—" Jack stopped his sentence, swallowing his words back.

Jack looked on the verge of tears. His fists were clenched tight at his sides. It was the first time David had seen Jack look so *sad*.

David softened. "Jack—"

"No."

Jack wiped his eyes and turned away from David.

"I'm sorry, David, I'd better—" He took a shaky breath, wiping his eyes again, "—I'd better go."

With that Jack left before David could even think. The wind began to blow, and David felt so very lonley all of a sudden, like Jack had taken part of his heart.

Spot Conlon x Reader

Written in first person (I, my, me) I did not proof read but oh well. There’s no smut or nsfw. Just Gabriel Damon.

As I passed the group, the newsies tipped their hats in acknowledgment, but one gaze lingered longer than the rest. Spot stared at me, a soft blush creeping up his cheeks. My heart raced; it was peculiar to be the subject of such attention. Racetrack and Mush stood nearby, giggling and nudging each other, clearly entertained by Spot's lovestruck expression.

Days passed, and I couldn’t shake the thought of that moment. It was pure chance when I found myself at the same area Spot frequented. He was there, leaning against the wall, chatting animatedly with his newsies. Gathering my courage, I approached him, the aroma of smelly orphan boys filling the air.

“Hey, I’m—”

“Spot,” I interrupted, grinning. “I know who you are. You’re doing some sort of strike with the other news boys?..”

There was a spark between us, but his passionate discourse about the strike quickly began to cloud my thoughts. He spoke endlessly about the injustices faced by the newsies, their struggle against the bulls, and the hope for a better deal. My interest in the fight for fair wages was overshadowed by a more personal yearning.

To my surprise, he suggested we grab lunch together. I felt both excited and nervous, trying to listen while my mind wandered back to his passionate eyes.

The next week, the city was alive with discussions about the strike, and Spot’s enthusiasm was contagious, but my distraction was palpable. Just as I found a moment to speak up, the unmistakable sound of angry shouts and marching boots echoed nearby.

“The bulls!” Spot exclaimed, his eyes widening. Before I could react, he grabbed my hand and pulled me into the hustle of the streets. The adrenaline surged through me as we sprinted away from the approaching police, laughter spilling from Spot’s lips.

We dashed through the back alleys, weaving expertly as the chaos of the chase enveloped us. My heart raced not just from running but from the thrill of being next to him. I felt alive in a way I had never experienced before.

Finally reaching the docks, we paused, panting and exhilarated. The night sky was painted with stars, and the gentle rocking of the boats below mirrored the fluttering in my chest. Spot turned to me, his eyes sparkling with mischief and something deeper.

“Thanks for runnin wit me,” he said, his voice softer now.

Before I knew it, he leaned in. Our lips met in a gentle kiss, the world around us fading away. It was a moment that felt like destiny, sweet and fleeting.

When we pulled away, Spot’s expression softened, and I knew then that we were no longer just a girl from Mew York and the king of the Brooklyn. Together, we had become part of something greater—each other.

Days turned into weeks, and as the summer sun began to dip below the horizon, our love blossomed amid struggles and strikes. Together, we made memories that would last a lifetime, weaving the threads of our lives into a beautiful tapestry of adventure, friendship, and love—just like the stitches of my sewing. And so, with every challenge the world threw our way, we faced it hand in hand, writing our own history in the city that never sleeps.

When my character crush gets a relationship written in:

Trying to write fanfic but its still early and the cringe brain worms haven't left

[triple-u-vvv]

This is the first page of the prologue!

I will admit, the first pages of the book are kind of slow. I wanted to give representation to some of the newsies Jrs. characters. I usually don’t like writing prologues because I want to get into the action right away, but I felt like it would be necessary here in order to establish the conflict and the main antagonist, as well as the setting and tone of the book.

Authors footnote: the prologue is usually disconnected from the main story, but helps with things like worldbuilding and establishing mood and tone, as well as revealing the conflict.

Also, tumblr ruined the quality

[newmsies]

if there's one thing i know I'm good at that will get the slightest bit of attention. It's writing angsttt

woooooo

[willowistic22]

If anyone is wondering what i’ve been doing behind the scenes:

Tell me what the hell do i do with this. I already planned it till chapter 21 and i can’t figure out how to end it…

[dreamingonmyown]

Can someone recommend a proper historically inspired, very grimy newies fic

[girlsdogmotif]

HIII!!! YOUR ONE SHOTS ARE SO COOOOL!! LOVE THEM <3333 are you planning on writing series or books? IM SURE THEY COULD BE STUNNING!! Also I saw your recs and THEY ARE SOMETHING 100% MY TASTE, if you cam give me some recs? Preferably if the main characters are males? I don't mind either way tho!! Thank you very much. <3

AHHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!! I really need to finish the few one shots I've started and post them because people are actually reading them ! which is crazy ! but makes me very very happy :)

I would definitely be interested in writing some series, once I think of some characters or a rough plot I might try it out, but in the meantime I would also love to continue any one shots I post if people are interested 👀

For my recommendations (which is why this took me a while to get back to apologies):

(also you might have already seen the first few bc I can't stop telling people to read them!!)

@whumblr The "Home is Where the Hurt" series is one of the BEST stories on this app and has the best whump, if you haven't read it yet GO READ, and also "Crossed Out", the main whumpees and whumpers are male in both those series; but I also can't go through a whump rec post without recommending their other series Bookish!

@chaotic-orphan another blog I can't recommend enough, i'm literally part of the #notifcationsquad I'm obsessed with Intoxicating Fear, Vendetta, Defiant Leader x confident villain, Partners in Crime, and everything else as well, Heroic Betrayal is also my ALL TIME fav and features my one of my fav female whumpee Morgan <3 all the stories are somehow both funny and heart wrenching at the same time and I feel like I'm watching a movie every time I read them

@there-will-always-be-blood I talk about The Crow and The Dove so much but I will forever kai and kyriel are so fascinating and the world building is so good in the story and the WHUMP. UGH truly unparalleled. you know it's good characters, world, plot, and writing when I-ME wants a character to have a break and not get tortured more (well okay I also still want him to get tortured more) only thing I will mention is the story does contain nsfw stuff and pretty dark whump but everything is tagged so avoid if it's not your thing but if you're okay with it (and over 18) then I highly recommend!!!!

@defire also has a TON of writing to read, stories, prompts and general whump musings that include some whump tropes that you don't see that often. Back to The Dregs is FANTASTIC angsty and whumpy and it also maybe kinda reminds me of one of the first whump stories I ever read when I was like 11 that was a newsies modern au fan fiction so I think I'm also partial to it

@holidayinhell literally every single piece of writing is so well written and give me whumperflies (do people still say that? I rarely see it anymore, am I old now im 20 I can't be) anyway Role Reversal is so good but THE CLIFFHANGER (nsfw)

@save-the-villainous-cat has such great stuff, really anything you're in the mood for there's a piece for it particularly I love the hero villain stuff

@jumpywhumpywriterlove's Vampire Captures Vampire Hunter to Use as Bloodbag series I def recommend if you like vampires, even if you don't I'd give it a shot, also Drugged Hero Whumpee used as Party Favor at Villain's Party is great. I have to admit I haven't read her whole blog but the few series I've read are amazing and she has SO MUCH WRITING (im not gonna make a Hamilton reference I've already made a newsies reference I've embarrassed my self enough)

and then here's a few other whump blogs that I enjoy and would recommend checking out!!

@whump-queen

@whump-in-the-closet

@shywhumpauthor

@kira-the-whump-enthusiast

okay for now I'll cut myself off but obviously there are so many more amazing whump blogs and stories out there!!! I hope this list can help you find something you like, thank you again for your kind words!

My fave thing in newsies fan fiction is where Jack thinks that because of the way David talks or dresses that his family is much more well off and in the back of his head he’s wary and judged David a bit for that but then one way or another he goes to David’s house and sees that they clearly both grew up with families that struggled for money and David just got good at hiding that because of judgement from his peers

[mrsreidsblog]
