Summary
“‘Step aside, Romeo—ain’t nothin’ what concerns you here.’ Another voice interrupts them as a second boy steps up to the curb.
But this isn’t just any boy. This is the most gorgeous boy Davey has ever seen. His jaw looks like it was chiseled by angels. His clothes, raggedy as they may be, magically fit his body perfectly. The blue eyes, the self-assured smirk—it’s like he was put together just to taunt Davey.
‘Morning, folks. Can I interest you in the latest news?’”
Or: Newsies, but if Davey was a reporter with Katherine. Oh, and everyone is fruity.

Summary
Jack has taken everything from him.
The sea rages around them, but for the first time this evening Jack looks at him. Not the mess of a crowd that grumbles and storms away, not the failed collection of their most important allies, not the money in his hand or a horribly disappointed Medda Larkin. Jack looks at David and for just a moment David sees regret on his face. Or maybe he just wants to see that, he can’t say anymore.
It’s at that moment that Jack feels his heart break.
-OR: A confession between two strike leaders succeeding the betrayal of Jack's show at the rally. (What should have happened before Once And For All.) David forgave Jack way too quick and was way too happy when printing the papers, so this is what should have happened between them!

It’s the summer after graduating high school, and Jack and Davey are both nineteen.
Apartment hunting together is going well, except for Davey’s big fat crush on his soon-to-be roommate.
That is not going well.
So Davey makes a spur-of-the-moment decision to trace those three words on Jack’s back late at night to….sort of confess his feelings. Jack just won’t know. After all, Jack’s asleep, right?
Right?

Summary
“Jack! Jack, it’s a trick!”
Jack’s heart raced uncomfortably in his chest, seeing Race’s panicked expression as he tried to push the newsies back. Scabs and bulls alike, with weapons from bats to rusted pipes, to chains and wooden planks with nails hammered into them. He couldn’t say he wasn’t terrified at the sight, because his body was betraying him to its fullest extent. He backed up, limbs shaking as he took into account the amount of men and weapons walking through those double doors.Or, what I think Jack was thinking during the confrontation in the courtyard, and what I think might've happened after.

Summary
When your friend and longtime crush, Davey, is forced to quit school, you take it into your own hands to see him.
I giggle, not because I’m a stupid school girl. I giggle to have him remember my voice, remember me. Like how I will remember him through the notes in the margins, the small silver chain he wears around his neck, and his smile. God, that smile

David laughed, “I got the money, don’t you worry about that.” He stared at Jack who was still fixated on his wound. “Hey,” David whispered, gaining Jack’s attention. When Jack looked up David leaned in for a quick kiss which Jack happily accepted. “That was a stupid plan.”

Summary
Davey still had absolutely no idea how to handle those feelings. It wasn’t quite the problem during the strike. Davey was kind of too busy surviving during those days. But after the strike, when he spends every day selling his papers with Jack, his emotions seem to grow stronger every single day. He knew he shouldn't be in love with a boy, he simply couldn't be! It would destroy his whole reputation, his parents' love for him, his friendship with Jack… his whole damn life would be ruined.
With the strike settled, everything should be going quite well for Davey Jacobs. There’s one small, but honestly huge problem, Davey finds himself having feelings he shouldn’t have for his best friend…
Jack wants to know what got Davey feeling so down lately.
The other newsies just want to help their former strike leaders.
