Summary
Here's a drabble of doomed sorts featuring my Newsies OC Muggs Tracey and the ever-generous Anna_W's OC(s), Julia Hawthorne and Katherine Moore. Many thanks for letting me give our favorite Brooklyn sociopath the love interest he doesn't deserve. Julia & Katherine are joys to write for, and I only hope I wrote your characters as well as you've written mine. Without further ado, perhaps the most dysfunctional couple in our combined Newsies universes.

Summary
Crutchie is in bad shape after the Refuge. But just because he needs Jack more than ever doesn’t mean Jack gets off the hook for the way he betrayed them.
This is AU and is the dire and unrepentant Crutchie whump (and, secondarily, Jack whump) that my secret heart desires. It will be maybe 5 or 6 chapters? Enjoy!

Summary
A historically based story inspired by the Newsie universe (1992) and involving many of our favorite Newsie characters. Written as a menagerie of combined scenes with Glitter_ink's fabulous OCs and mine. I can't get enough of them all. Hope you enjoy. Thank you soooo much glitter-ink.....this wouldn't be as fun or fabulous without your awesome OC's. A multi-chapter piece with multiple perspectives. A companion piece to "On The Low". Should be read in conjunction. I hope you enjoy!!!

Summary
"Davey," Jack says, rolling his name ponderously, like a detective who might have just discovered a vital clue, "You ain't never had a girl before, have you?"
"No," David whispers, hoping against hope that-
"You ain't...You ain't never wanted one, neither."
It's not a question. David could protest, lie, rail against the slander. But he can see in Jack's eyes the conclusion is already drawn and framed, just waiting to be exhibited to the world. He braces himself against the wall and nods.
"Right," Jack grits out. Then he winces, and clears his throat.
Bewilderingly, he also starts to blush.

Summary
As World War II slowly approaches, David Jacobs comes across the woman who ruined his reputation and his love life. But as his time comes to an end, in order to let go of his past, Jacobs intends to burn the letters his husband wrote him during their youth. Yet, with this woman in his house, he couldn't bring himself to it. Preserving every moment of Kelly's life, Jacobs--the last of the Manhattan Newsies--relives through an era he never told anyone. Not even to his husband. Now, as this woman enters Kelly's studio, she surrenders a pair of keys to that particular studio and walks away. Leaving David Jacobs alone and cold once again. With only minutes waiting, David Jacobs becomes the center of Kelly's life. With a candle in front of him, Jacobs is willing to do anything to preserve his husband's legacy. Even if it meant to forgive the unforgivable.

Summary
Davey was a light sleeper, he knew this. He also knew it was a bit of an understatement. He never knew why, but for as long as he could remember, every little thing would wake him. His opinion on the matter varied, sometimes it was helpful, like the times when he slept over at the Lodging House.
Alternatively, Davey is an insomniac, and he can never stay asleep easily. This story follows the adventures that occur after the strike as the Newsies learn that Davey is hard to prank, and Jack and Davey work through his insomnia together.
