Summary
It wasn't shocking, not really, he'd always been.. different from the other boys and he can't even blame it on his upbringing either, because he's different from Miles too.
***
Illi's always been different from the boys her age, all it takes is one little moment in her sophmore year for her to realise why that is.
(Illi figuring herself out, as told from her eyes and Ray's)Series

Carrying the Banner for the Man by V3ry_C0nfus3d

Summary
“Maybe one day.”
Race hums, “yeah, maybe one day.”
Because a small part of him does want the Jets to be able to meet the people Race now considers his friends and family. He wants them to meet each other and be able to get along. He wants to be able to grab the Jets by the shoulders and shake them whilst yelling ‘we were wrong about the PRs! If we move on we’ll be better! Look how great all these guys are!’
That probably wouldn’t work though.
And then he’d probably get punched in the face for being a traitorous bastard.
---
Racetrack is getting used to the job - but life is getting hard. With the Trolley strike reaching its third week everyone is kinda struggling when it comes to sellin' papes.
Though shit doesn't really hit the fan till Pulitzer starts to want more money.

You're never disconnected (unless you go through the lengths to disconnect) by V3ry_C0nfus3d

Summary
None of them seem to question why he wants to go the West Side so bad. Maybe it’s cause the news about his old life is slowly making it’s way through the important people and they’ve figured that if he wants to go back to a place like that then it’s on him.
Or maybe they just really don't care about that sort of thing.
---
Race is deciding to finally face up to his past and his mistakes as a Jet - by apologising to the Shark leader. Or at least admitting that he was in the wrong and hoping that the other guy doesn't deck him.
At the same time the Jets haven't heard from him in two months when Anybodys says he's spotted him - which makes the lot of them all the more curious to where he's disappeared off to.

You’ve got brothers around, you’re a family man (except sometimes it’s a different family then you thought) by V3ry_C0nfus3d

Summary
This wasn’t uncommon territory for him - both the fighting and the fact that it’s a Latino boy who *wants* to fight him - but he doesn’t feel like fighting today (how weird - around a month ago if he’d come face-to-face with this guy me might’ve socked him in the face. Times really do change).
“I ain’t sellin’ - I’m here for the races.”
The boy doesn’t seem like he actually believes him - but his eyes rake up and down Race’s body - studying him. Searching him for any possible papes that he could be selling - papes that if he sold he'd be taking money and customers from the boys here in Brooklyn.
---
Racetrack is starting to get used to his new life - and he's starting to make new friends too.
Amongst them is Spot Conlon - the head of the Brooklyn Newsies, and before a month ago a boy that Race doesn't imagine he would've talked to.

You're a Jet all the way (or maybe just till you get locked up) by V3ry_C0nfus3d

Summary
Plus there ain’t no point - this isn’t his territory, this is Hell. In here he’s the same as the rest of them, dirty, beaten, poor. They’re all trying to survive - it don’t matter that he was born here and they might not have been. To the wardens they’re all the same.
It’s odd to think of himself in that way - as someone who is the same as a PR or some other person like that - but he can see it now. They’re all kids and right now there ain’t no point in beating the daylights out of one another for no good reason.
---
Mouthpiece gets arrested and taken off to the refuge - once there he realises that maybe the way that he used to think and live didn't mean much to some people - out here there ain't no Jets and he has to find a way to live with that.
Along the way he manages to make himself a new friend.
Meanwhile the Jets are mildly (fairly) worried.Series

Summary
This is pretty much a series of one-shots because I saw one really specific fic with a similar concept and then when I looked for more Newsies x WSS there were like 5 fics so I'm making some more because the concept is pretty interesting (to me at least)
Why am I doing this in a series instead of just a multi-chapter fic? Why not (also I keep giving up on multi-chapter fics so I figured this would be better)

Summary
Nearing his forties, Andy is pretty much content in his life as owner and baker at the Sweetheart's Inn. He has his friends, his job, and guests to take care of. It takes a carefree, loudmouthed rockstar/magnet for minor disasters to show him he hasn't been living. Slowly, Andy begins to rediscover himself, even the parts he'd like to stay buried.

Summary
When they’d been filming the Helena video, the lacy black gown the stylists put Joan Gerard in had had a long train that had spread dramatically down the church steps as she’d preceded the pallbearers in the rain. The train had lasted about two shows and a Frank-precipitated pile-up, the hem tearing raggedly up to her knees on the last chord of Not That Kind of Girl. Frank had spent twenty minutes after the show trying to sew it back on. Joan Gerard had given it five minutes of accidentally sticking herself with the needle and going “Ow, fuck” and “Frankie, I think the thread fell out of the needle again” before giving up. Ray had just kind of hovered the whole time.
Slice of life banter from an AU in which Gerard is transfem and transitioned during Revenge Era.
