Jolynn Morris was the twin sister to Charlie (or Crutchy). They were both outcasts in Queens. Crutchy because he was a crip and Jolynn because she was his twin. But she's the best sister he could've asked for. And when they found the newsies, they took them in with open arms. She remains to the day, the only girl newsie. But, she couldn't care less. She often finds herself leading with Jack. When the Newsies find themselves on strike, she meets a fellow leader of Brooklyn. She finds him very interesting and can't help but stay away. Does he see her that way too? !!This is the first story I've done!! #1 in newsies (january 17, 2024) #1 in spotconlon (march 7, 2024) #1 in spot (april 25, 2024) #3 in newsiesfanfiction (april 25, 2024) #6 in conlon (april 26, 2023)

Oscar Delancey. Youngest Delancey Brother, hated by almost everyone he knows, besides his brother. Oscar's father and mother were killed when he was little, and Wiesel was given custody over him and Morris. Morris has tried for ages to get custody over Oscar, and get him out of Wiesel's hands, so with Morris' 18th birthday coming up, maybe things are starting to look up for them? Racetrack Higgins, also known as Anthony Higgins. He was abused by his father until he ran away at the age of 7. He's been to the Refuge twice, and lives with the Manhattan Newsies, as Jack's second in command. What happens when Oscar falls for the Italian speaking Newsie? What happens when Race falls for one of his sworn enemies? What will their friends/family's reactions be? What will happen? Will they be happy and live together? Or will their relationship crumble?
