Shoutout 2 The Brooklyn girls actually interacting w the Manhattan newsies, btw. Shoutout 2 Henry turning to Mack & going 'that's a big word!' when Roosevelt says that the future is bright & prosperous. Shoutout 2 Specs & Stray being related. Shoutout 2 Lillie-Pearl saying that her Spot is closest to Davey in act two & adding 'making up rhymes with Davey' to her list of things she likes. Shoutout 2 Pips & JoJo hugging. Shoutout 2 Ritz elbowing Romeo in the side when he pretends that he actually had a chance with Katherine. Shoutout 2 Bobbie saying that if Splint were to have a love interest, it'd be Buttons.
you said you were open for art requests... Can i request some more Brooklyn girls? Maybe Stray or Ritz?
Here is Stray! I think she’s definitely one of my favorite girlsies. I headcanon her to be quite shy especially compared to the Brooklyn girls who are mostly boisterous. I think she gets her name from the amount of stray animals she finds on the streets. (Also side note I’m sorry I don’t know how to draw dogs I tried my best…)

Additional Tags: Alternate Universe - Dungeons & Dragons, Dungeons & Dragons Fusion, minor fantasy violence, Rescue Missions, Perhaps too much focus on the history of Neverwinter, No beta we die like men whose fic was due 18 hours ago, In which the author over uses italics and em-dashes, Perhaps too much swearing for a T fic
Summary:
Spot’s not surprised Jack hasn’t brought up literally any of his thoughts on this with Davey. Jack’s always been an “act first, pretend it was planned later” type of person, and everyone else just got swept along with him. At least Stray actually prefers to be outside the city; Spot doesn’t envy Jack trying to convince his resident hermit to join them on a half-baked rescue mission.
(OR: Race is missing and they're gonna do an adventure about it)

My @newsiesficchallenges Exchange Fic for @loving-jack-kelly! This was so fun to write, I really hope you enjoy it!
would my darling girl stray newsiesuk have a place in the pet shelter au c:
pip i have thought about this so much actually. stray is probably the most dedicated volunteer they have besides davey, and is currently training to be a veterinarian, so she assists their shelter vet (i'll be doing more research on this though so). she's also a pet-fosterer and keeps up with all the animals she's fostered and placed in stable homes! she's very protective of the animals but, much like them, she's very good at telling when a person is trustworthy or not, hence why she warms up to jack so quickly. i still need to do some research so i know how to place her, but she's definitely an important character in the au :)
kinda obsessed with how some random tuesday in november 2022 newsies uk started and brooklyn was all girls and that was that. i never looked back. havent referred to the brooklyn newsies as men since. those girls r so important to me.
