Sometimes, a weight can build up so gradually that you don’t even realize you’re holding it, until someone invites you to lay it down. In other words: Sarah Jacobs was not made to hold her entire family on her shoulders.

Summary
During the strike there's more time between the rally and the plan to use the printing press in the basement of the World. Newsies are rightfully pissed with Jack and he'd be the first person to tell you that he deserved the cold treatment he's been getting ever since his betrayal. As aware as Jack is that this is just the consequences of his actions he'll still do anything to make up for what he's done, he despises what things have become and he won't just stand by and let the people he cares about pull away from him. He throws himself into his quest for forgiveness without so much as a second thought.
Jack didn't realize that even though his boys were angry with him they could never hate him. Maybe if he'd just taken a minute to talk about what happened things wouldn't have spiraled the way they did.

Summary
A motorcycle roared by outside the lodging house, and they all rushed to the windows to see who it was. who would be out at midnight in the pouring rain? To everyone's surprise it was Spot Conlon. He never came to Manhattan; he knew better with the territory situation than to ever step foot in Manhattan. They all rushed downstairs to ask why he was there, and maybe start a fight since clearly he was looking for one. They all crowded around him, and they started shouting questions at him. Jack pushed his way to the front his arms crossed and looking pissed.
"Why are you here?"
Spot's eyes scanned across the crowd, before sighing heavily. "Where is he?"
"Where's who?"
"Racetrack Higgins."
or
Racetrack Higgins was the most annoying person on the planet, but still he seemed to be the only one that could tame the spitfire that was name Spot Conlon.

Summary
And sometimes there's nothing to eat
But I always land on my feet."Kid, a couple of candy bars and some soda does not make a meal.”
The boy seemed to realise that this lady had noticed him taking things from the store, though she hadn’t reported him.
He shrugged, unsure what to say to her.
“I’m a teacher. My name’s Ms Larkin. What’s your name?”
“...Jack Kelly.” he answered cautiously. -

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.

ALDAAOJSBDB THIS IS THE BEST EVER NEWSIES FIC OMG
Like I’ve read a few others before this that have been really good but this one had me HOOKED
I LOVE that Jack and Davey’s romance isn’t rushed in this!! I know that’s a little easier to do when it can span over a trilogy (literally exploded and then died from excitement when I saw there were 2 more to read lol), but I still see a lot of Javey fics where it just doesn’t feel super authentic or it feels a little rushed. This one was laced really nicely though!! Both with their relationship and also just in general! The fic does a great job at expanding on key events from the book whilst also not over explaining certain plot points.
AND THE CROSSOVERS BETWEEN HUNGER GAMES AND NEWSIES????
Every time I thought I’d predicted how each character would play into the universe I’d get jumpscared by a plot twist. But they also made perfect sense!! I love that you diverted just enough from each fandom so you couldn’t predict things. And (SPOILER WARNING) when I tell you I was SHOOK when I read about Jack’s arm?? OH MY GOD??? AND I IMMEDIATELY REALISED HE MIGHT NEVER BE ABLE TO DRAW AGAIN I WAS GONNA CRY OMFG
THANK GOD THE CAPITOL IS TECHNOLOGICALLY ADVANCED
I am so so excited to see how the other newsies play into the later fics (if they do…I’m assuming they do lol) And also how Snyder might play into things here because he didn’t come up! He might not even come up but nevertheless I am definitely curious lol
ALSO ISTG IF THIS FOLLOWS THE CANON AND IVE GOTTA WATCH LES DIE IM GONNA CRASH OUT OMG
And also I’m super excited about the next one- which I haven’t read the description for yet so if I’m way off forgive me- to see how they incorporate the “past victors” concept
Also LOVED Katherine as Effie omg. I don’t hate Katherine but I do like to hate on her a little bit, so this was like the perfect role for her (for me) lol
AND MISS MEDDA OMG I ACTUALLY LOVED THAT
Also loved the other tributes- love as in I hate the Delanceys but also SMALLS NOOOOOO I KNEW IT FROM THE START BUT NOOOO
Ranting a little now but it was cool that instead of giving Davey the zero like he (and also I) expected he got the 10??? It made perfect sense as well and I love it
AND YOU KEPT JACKS ACCENT, I LOVE OMG <333
I am a massive Jack girl (who isn’t lmao) and obviously I absolutely loved him in this fic, but I was surprised but how much I also loved Davey in this fic?!! Like I always like Davey, but his perspective and his character were written so incredibly well that I loved him just as much as Jack. I loved that he got his own skills and strengths, while also of course getting his weaknesses. I wasn’t really sure what I expected for him going into the fic, but I’ve always subconsciously viewed Jack as the “street smart” survivalist, so while I had ideas for him I wasn’t really sure what Davey was gonna bring to the table.
BUT HE COOKED BRO OMG
But he also wasn’t TOO good, like he made mistakes and he almost died more than enough times to feel human, and that made him a really balanced and well written character in my opinion. And you know who else fit this too? JACK <333 As said, I’m always biased when it comes to Jack so I tend to overlook his character flaws sometimes, but I’m glad that he also very clearly made mistakes, both in his judgements and his actions. He also was given skills but not overpowered, again making him another well balanced character. And I LOVE LOVE LOVE how you incorporated his art skills into his actually survival in the arena!! Like I know that strategy was done by Peta in the actual book/film, but I’m glad his “I like to draw” stuff wasn’t just included as a checklist to the canon early in the fic and forgotten or something.
AND IRRELEVANT TO THAT BUT OMG I ACTUALLY LOVED THE TWO HEADED COIN THATS SO CUTE
Tragically grieving that I don’t also have one smh
And also irrelevant but Pulitzer as Snow is SO perfect
Like my ass really went “hmmm maybe Snyder will be Snow” halfway through but HELL NO PULITZER IS PERFECT AS SNOWAs much as I want to keep rambling (so bad) I feel like I’ve summarised the most important things I wanted to gush about with this fic
Oh but I will say for the sake of my fixated brain I wish it was longer
Like pacing and writing wise it’s perfect but MAN do I wish I could read this for another 30+ hours
GOOD THING IVE GOT TWO MORE FICS TO GO LETS GOOOO
I will be grieving once I’ve finished all of those though
…maybe I’ll conduct the Manhattan burial rites :(
WHICH WERE ALSO A SUPER COOL AND NICHE TOUCH ALSNDNBDBDOH and one more thing I really liked their outfits for the parade with the news banners and stuff, that was a very neat way to incorporate their “Newsies” title and the set design <33

Summary
Jack just knew, deep in his chest, that Davey wasn't telling him something. He was a bad liar to begin with, but the shifty glances and hasty exits had almost grown to be too much as of late. There was something happening and Jack was ridiculously out of the loop, which was beyond frustrating. Wasn't he supposed to be in the loop? Weren't he and Dave supposed to be best friends, or selling partners or co-presidents or whatever? He was tired of trying to catch that anxious green gaze, tired of chasing after answers.
What in the world could've been bothering Davey enough to push him to this level of silence? Jack was bound and determined to get to the bottom of it, even if it meant pushing his other priorities aside.

Summary
“I’m gonna miss it a lot,” He said, and Jack watched the way he barely tilted his head back to take another sip from the bottle, the way his Adam’s apple bobbed with his swallow. “New York, I mean. All of my friends.”
“Yeah?”
“Yeah,” David whispered.
“I’m sure it’ll be tough for a while,” He said softly, then gently bumped David’s side with his elbow. “But you’re a tough cookie, Davey. Smart as a whip, funny… handsome,” Jack snickered, and David rolled his eyes, but he smiled that beautiful, lopsided smile of his. “You’re gonna do big things, Jacobs. And people are gonna fall in love with ya.”
David looked at him, brows knitted together, but he grinned nonetheless. “I’ll miss you most, Jack."

David comes back from school in Boston. Jack isn't sure how to handle it.
