The same old story, the same old song. A tale in which the newsies of Lower Manhattan go on strike, and David Jacobs gets roped into it. High School AU set in 1999. Told through the eyes of multiple characters. Rated T because, y'know, newsboys curse.
The day he ran away was the day that changed his life. Though, he didn't see it that way until years later. In fact he was just doing what any other runaway would at the age of seven. Survive.

The boys thought it was just to spread the word on the strike, but it was more than that. Much more.
Tony thought he was a normal 21st century foster kid, but it turns out he's an important 1900 newsie with a family. Rated T just in case.
