Have you ever thought about like a Newsies Grease AU?

Okay, so don’t come at me, but Grease has never been my favorite musical. Still, this is a fun idea.

So I don’t know whether to make this Jatherine or Javid, but we’ll go with Javid for now because I don’t do a lot of Javid AUs. If you wanna see another ship, just let me know!

Characters

Jack Kelly — Danny

David Jacobs — Sandy

Spot Conlon — Kenickie

Racetrack Higgins — Rizzo

Crutchie Morris — Jan

Katherine Plumber — Marty

Sarah Jacobs — Sonny

JoJo — Frenchie

Albert DaSilva — Doody

Little Jack and David mood boards…

May I ask for more premature Race bc Ima sucker for angst (basically baby brother race as i legit cannot write crutchie)

Here’s some premature Racer just for you, my love

They were in the hospital again. Race had collapsed and Jack had no idea why, all he knew was that he was panicking again, because there was his baby brother, twelve years old, laying on a hospital bed like it was his own. At this point, it might as well be.

Jack had never signed for this. He was supposed to be the big brother, not the mother, the father and everything in between. Yet, here he was, twenty three years old and completely responsible for everything that happened to the precious little boy in front of him.

It started when the child was born, nearly three months too early with an umbilical cord wrapped around his tiny neck. It was a miracle the tiny thing survived. That didn’t mean he was going to live a completely normal, healthy life. No. It meant hundreds of hospital visits, bills upon bills stacked up that Jack needed to find a way to pay. The child was beautiful. Jack adores him, but he’d only been meant to be the fun loving older brother. Now he was responsible for a child suffering from ADHD, anxiety, hearing loss, partial blindness, asthma and very poor social skills.

It wasn’t that Jack didn’t want to be here. Well, maybe it was. He didn’t want to be here because he didn’t want his brother to be here because the little boy deserved so much better and Jack was just sitting here, thinking about how he wished he wasn’t responsible for this child at all. As the guilt washed over him, the little boy’s eyes flickered open. He wheezed a bit. “Jackie?”

The young man melted. “I’m right here, Racer-kid, don’t you worry a single second,” he hushed into his brother’s right ear, brushing a hand through the boy’s thin curly hair. “How ya feelin’?”

All Race could do was manage a shrug, trying to blink his vision clear. “I dunno,” he admitted in a whisper, always afraid to talk too loudly. “Is Charlie coming?”

Jack sighed and shook his head. “He wants to, kiddo, but he can’t afford a plane ticket right now,” he explained. “I promise we’ll see him real soon, though, huh?” The boy sighed, curling up and closing his eyes again. And just like that, Jack’s small smile vanished and worry and sorrow took over instead as he leaned down to kiss the child’s head. “Just rest, little boy…”

The boy peaked his big blue eyes out from beneath those long eyelashes and found Jack once more before letting sleep consume him.

The precious child had been entrusted into Jack’s care. Jack couldn’t help but think it should’ve been someone else, someone better, someone special. Instead, it was just Jack, some college drop out with nothing but a high school diploma, two waiting jobs, a crummy apartment and all the adoration in his heart he had to give. “I love you, Racer,” he breathed. “I got you.”

They were in some hospital room again. And Jack would do whatever it took to make that room look like home.

i think we as a fandom don’t appreciate katherine enough and here’s why

she just wanted to help newsies. she got stupid comments from them, they thought she wasn’t a real reporter mainly because she was a girl and STILL she decided to help. yes she wanted to pursue her career but she could have done it elsewhere. she chose her battle cause she knew it was the right thing to do. and even after the papers shut her down, she found a way to help. yes she had a rich background, but that actually gave her a possibility to choose and she 👏still👏chose👏to👏help👏. she used what she had in a smart way and without her help they would have not won, at least not as fast.

we gave whole personalities for background characters that said two lines, some of us even gave redemption for delanceys and found a way to like them. yet i hardly ever see anything about katherine, her contribution in the strike is too often ignored.

obviously everyone are allowed to dislike her and i am open for discussion and different opinions but i said what i said and i stand behind it

#i love her your honor #and for the record #this post has nothing to do about jatherine #you can ship them or not ship them but she is so much more than jack’s love interest #newsies #katherine pulitzer #katherine plumber #katherine newsies #livesies #newsies live
