15 years before the legendary newsies strike of 1899, a child was born. When he is 18 months old, he is brought to the Manhattan Newsies Lodging House. In time, he would be known as Racetrack Higgins. This is his story. This is the story of the newsies strike of 1899...but not as you know it. With twists and turns and new angles in every direction, you'll learn many new things about Racetrack, and his newsie family who watches him grow and develop in his own unique way.

"Oh whatever. You could do betta than me, anyway." Race told me. It looked like he was only half joking. "Higgins, don't you dare say that. I can only think of one guy better than you. It's my brudda, and I have to think he's the best guy alive. I owe 'im that much after he raised me, don't I?" -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In which the beautiful girlsie Y/N "Quick" Kelly falls for a gambling, cigar loving newsie called Race. Especially with Y/N as co-president of the union, will their blossoming romance find a place among the dangerous newsboy strike of 1899?

Racetrack Higgins was a normal Manhattan Newsie- more or less. He was Gay, but so were all of his brothers. He was Jack's Second in Command and had a rough past. He was stubborn, has anxiety, and is a good bit chaotic. Spot Conlon was not a normal Newsie. He was the King of Brooklyn, the Borough feared by most. Except for Race. (And a few others.) Said Italian blonde boy was actually a half Brooklyn, half Manhattan Newsie, as he sold in Brooklyn. Sure, Spot scared him sometimes, but not a lot. They were very different. Spot had brown hair, Race had dirty blonde. Race had been to the Refuge, Spot hadn't. Spot had brown eyes, Race had bright blue eyes. Race was strong, but easily outnumbered, Spot was strong, but wasn't easily outnumbered. One think they both agreed was that they cared for their boys more than anything and would do anything to keep them safe. Oh, that and that the other was cute. Or hot, depending on if you were Spot or Race. ~~ Excerpt from the Story ~~ "Hey, Race." Ace starts, picking up his cards every time Race passes one to him. Race hums, passing a card to Sling, then himself, and then Ace. "Do you have a crush on Spot?" Ace asks, still staring at his cards. Sling hides his smile with his cards in front of his face, stifling a laugh. "No." Race answers, his face reddening slightly as he passes out another card to each boy. Ace looks up at him. "BS." He responds, smirking. Race scowls at him, pulling his hat off of his head and smacking Ace with it, all while his face turns bright red. Ace and Sling laugh. ~~ ~~ (I do not own Newsies.)

🎶Guaranteed to blow your mind. Anytime. Recommended at the price. Insatiable in appetite. Wanna try?🎶 Y/N L/N is your average sixteen year old girl. In 1991, her acting dreams come true when she gets cast in Disney's newest live-action musical, Newsies, but there's a problem. She's the only girl on set, and her costars are huge flirts. (I'm not the greatest at descriptions so read on to find out what happens.)

A oneshot compilation for the broadway version of Newsies that began with someone else's typo (here's lookin at you, @omg_im_totes_biii): There are lots of different X readers within; enter at your own risk. There is cringe galore. If you enjoy these stories, go check out @DaydreamShimmer and her works. She's my brother and she writes amazing stories!

**COMPLETED** March 2020 (During the coronavirus outbreak) It's the dawn of a new decade, and the Newsies are sure to celebrate by making the most of it. But, just when they start what they would expect to be a vacation, would only become a "new normal" for the Newsies. It's nice staying on vacation permanently, but being couped up together while travel restrictions are in place, miles from home, will sure bring challenges to the Newsies. Will they ever make it out soon? Or will they stay on this vacation for longer than they had anticipated...
