This Ain't Just Newsies No More ~ Sprace & Javid by VaquitaLibra

What could possibly make Spot so shaken up he'll hand over Brooklyn? What could make Jack so shaken he'd give up Manhattan? Only one thing: Race and David have been taken. But where? How? Why? But why do they care so much about them? Well, first we need to go back to the beginning. We need to go on their journey with them. From their first meeting, to working side by side in the strike, to growing closer and falling in love, and all the things in between, dealing with the problems their kinds face in the unforgiving world. But the whole thing is bigger than all of them. This isn't a fight for just Newsies anymore--it's a fight for love, family, friends, rights for all, and the fight for the right to exist in a world like this and the right to tell those stories. But can they fight all these fights and finish them Once and for All? (I DON'T OWN NEWSIES. NONE OF THESE CHARACTERS ARE MINE. ONLY THE STORY IS MINE.) Please, no slurs, hate, homophobia, etc. in the comment section.

Kings Racetrack- A Sprace fanfic by flynnolium

"Stepping onto Brooklyn's turf was like stepping into molten lava. Race really wished he went with his first choice, Midtown, instead of feeding himself to the dogs."

Racetrack Higgins, a Lower Manhattan newsboy is caught in Brooklyn without Jack Kelly by his side. Only to be found by Spot before things could escalate. He had successfully stopped the conflict.. or did he? OR: Spot finds out the hard way that it's quite difficult to get rid of Racetrack Higgins!

FAMILIAR | Spot Conlon by hanna_mik

"𝚈𝚘𝚞 𝚕𝚘𝚘𝚔~" "𝙲𝚘𝚖𝚎 𝚘𝚗 𝚂𝚙𝚘𝚝, 𝚗𝚘𝚠" "𝚈𝚎𝚊𝚑 𝙲𝚊𝚖 𝚠𝚎 𝚜𝚑𝚘𝚞𝚕𝚍 𝚙𝚛𝚘𝚋𝚊𝚋𝚕𝚢 𝚋𝚎 𝚐𝚘𝚒𝚗𝚐" "𝚏𝚊𝚖𝚒𝚕𝚒𝚊𝚛" My name is Alyssa Menken. But I've gone by Camryn ever since I ran away and became a newsie. But when something happened that I never thought would my whole life is turned upside down. Btw this story isn't like a fall in love by 2 chapters story. If you wait it out it'll definitely be worth it though. Or at least I think so. Spot Conlon x Female OC Newsies 1992 movie

The Last Rose of Summer by TheQuietHufflepuff

In 1899, two aspiring reporters get caught up in one of the biggest events of their time; a newsboy strike. Eleanor, Ellie, and her friend aim to be more than vaudeville reporters, and when opportunity comes their way, they immediately jump on it. But with the strike comes the leader. Jack Kelly. Ellie finds him both endearing and annoying. Sweet and frustrating. All is well until the strike goes wrong and then he finds out who she truly is. But the newboys and their fellow reporters are resilient. They refuse to quit before they're done, and that strength and courage may save them in the end. And perhaps there is also a chance for love. *I don't own Newsies. All credit goes to Alan Menken and Jack Feldman. I only own Ellie.*

"Did you just make Spot Conlon smile?" "Yeah. I think I might've." - Soon after the strike, things are getting back to normal. Kind of. Well, not really. It seems like everyone's keeping a secret, and sometimes it seems like nobody's safe. The Newsies can't turn on each other now, can they? //COMPLETED// Highest rankings: #1 on Sprace #1 on Javie and Javid #1 on newsies of New York #1 on Racetrack Higgins #4 on musicals
