    Summary

    David thought Jack was walking out of his life. Riding away on a carriage to the train yards, leaving everyone that loved him behind? How was that fair?

     

    Or: a little introspective on David's part on the final scene of the film, and how it should've gone (in my opinion)

    Summary

    The thought slapped him across the face, totally out of nowhere. Jack wasn’t really doing anything special— he was just reclined in David’s bed with his dinner on his lap, and he had a few chip crumbs on his thighs. He didn’t look any prettier than usual. He was just being Jack, staring off at the posters on the adjacent wall, probably thinking about the color composition or some artsy thing like that.

    And David was in love with him.

    With Jack. David was in love with Jack Kelly, and maybe he’d been in love with Jack Kelly for years and was just now realizing it, because of a stupid plate of quesadillas and the stupid way Jack said ‘made sure it was kosher, too’ because Jack cared about him and remembered the little things and holy shit, David was so fucking in love.

    OR: David doesn't know that he has a crush on Bumlets, and proceeds to deal with it in the most roundabout way possible- via an itemised list. Bumlets is just here for the ride.

    Summary

    Davey Jacobs is in love with his best friend. A simple fact he's learned to live with over the past few years. A fact he's had to face much more now that he is fake-dating said best friend. To get out of this conundrum, Jack was supposed to "dump" Davey in front of all their friends. Unfortunately, Jack is an idiot, and proposed to retaliate against Davey for their stupid argument earlier. Now they have to face all of the pressure from their friends to get married. And instead of being competent adults, they keep digging the hole deeper.

    Summary

    “Hey look there's Denton!” Specs exclaimed, pointing down the sidewalk where Denton was rushing to meet them. Jack turned quickly but he was soon disappointed when he realized the man was walking alone.

    “Where is everyone?” David asked as soon as Denton was in earshot, the urgency clear in his voice.

    “The judge said they’d already been bailed out, they didn’t even make it to court,” Denton explained.

     

    The strike takes an unexpected turn for the worse after a particularly bloody protest and Jack has to grapple with his guilt and an unwarranted betrayal.

    Davey Jacobs was the most infuriating person Jack had ever met.

    There were a lot of annoying things about Davey- he was a smartass, he never knew when to shut up, his eyes were stupidly pretty- but Jack never would have imagined that the most annoying thing about him was that he was so oblivious.

    After the strike and creating the Newsboy's union, David Jacobs thought his life couldn't take any more unexpected twists or turns. But that all went downhill with Jack Kelly.

    That loud, cocky, very good looking best friend of his.

    But Jack can't feel like that about him, right? Well an invitation to a private booth in Miss Medda's theatre may prove otherwise.

    Ain't It a Fine Life by

    16 Dec 2022

    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
