Summary
Tired of the blatant misogyny in her city and daily life, Katherine Plumber Pulitzer, along with the help of the newsies, organizes a city-wide strike for women all across New York in a battle for women's rights.
When the day's headline reads "Newsie Cuts Underway", Jack "Cowboy" Kelly knows he needs to do something to keep him and his friends from unemployment. A strike seems like a good way to show old man Pulitzer the newsies won't go down without a fight.
Meanwhile, Paige "Chipmunk" Higgins, Les and Crutchie are snared in the Refuge. Will they escape, or will Snyder hold them away from their family?
or
Davey smacked his cheek, eliciting a not very leader-like yelp. “Wha’ was that for?”
“Don’t talk like that.”
“What?”
“It wasn’t your fault. If you fall down that rabbit hole, get trapped in the guilt, you’re not coming back. Crutchie being hurt is nobody’s fault except the man who dealt those blows. And on strike day, when he and his guards are up against the newsies…”
“Soak ‘em,” Chip whispered. “Soak ‘em for Crutchie.”
Davey smiled. “Yes, ma’am.”***

Never been a Gambling Man by ChaosFairytale

Summary
There had never been a time at which Spot had understood the want for gambling. It wasn’t like any of the working kids had enough money to spare as it was with needing to buy their lodging and food, and then half of them gambled it away at poker, snaps or betting rings for races or fights.
Spot was always smart enough to know he’d much more lose than gain if he started, so he’d never even participated in a game of dice or marbles if it was for money. He rather used his glass marbles for shooting anyways.
Now, that had been true for more than fifteen years, but then he’d met Manhattan’s new leader and second at a borough meeting.

Summary
Stepping onto Brooklyn's turf was like stepping into molten lava. Race really wished he went with the safe choice, Midtown, instead of feeding himself to the dogs. He almost went through with it too, but something in the back of his head was screaming for him to go with his gut. Which so happened to be exactly why he was now in this predicament.
Who knew everything could spiral out of control because of a seriously short temper and a deal with a King?
OR: Spot finds out the hard way that it’s quite difficult to get rid of Racetrack Higgins!
