Summary
David heard a soft laugh coming from his companion. “You know Mouth? You ain’t that bad a person to hang around with. I wouldn’t mind doing it more often once this strike business is done with.”
This time David simply smiled. “Thanks Spot. You’re not too bad either,” He decided to test the waters a bit. “For someone as short as you”
“Watch it.”

Summary
The forest was so deathly still it seemed as if one motion from either of the boys would create a sound so prominent it would be equivalent to putting a flashing neon sign in front of them stating in bold, capital letters; fresh meat.

Summary
Jack Kelly and Davey Jacobs, two fresh out of college music producers, are looking for a job. Unfortunately for them, no one wants to hire two inexperienced 23-year-olds to write music. That is, until they get a chance to audition for the job of writers for Katherine Plumber, a famous indie musician. Katherine needs a commercial jingle to advertise her new perfume, and Jack and Davey are positive this could be their chance.
Things don't quite go smoothly, however. Between Davey's unresolved feelings for his best friend, Jack's obliviousness, writer's block, and a lot of misunderstandings and escalations, Jack and Davey almost lose their friendship. Thank god for Katherine, because she's the only thing keeping these idiots in line.

In Which David Shares a Kiss with Another Boy in the Wings of a Theatre by politiesgearup

Summary
Jack notices David's eyes on him and turns his head to meet his gaze, that same smile of admiration now directed at him instead of at Miss Medda.
His smile shouldn't be making David feel the same butterflies that he should be feeling around pretty girls, but he can't help himself when Jack's full attention is on him and he's just so good-looking. He definitely shouldn't be saying something like that about another boy, either.
Or
a rewrite of the movie's theatre scene but just a little bit gayer

Summary
So that's what he said. Except, he said it in a more joking tone; something like, "If you don't quit that, I'll start crying, you idiot."
But Jack just kept holding him.
"It's okay to cry, Dave."
or; David gets flashbacks of some less than pleasant memories and his boyfriend is more than happy to comfort him.

Experiences of an Insomniac by Gone_Doll5128

Summary
Davey was a light sleeper, he knew this. He also knew it was a bit of an understatement. He never knew why, but for as long as he could remember, every little thing would wake him. His opinion on the matter varied, sometimes it was helpful, like the times when he slept over at the Lodging House.
Alternatively, Davey is an insomniac, and he can never stay asleep easily. This story follows the adventures that occur after the strike as the Newsies learn that Davey is hard to prank, and Jack and Davey work through his insomnia together.

Summary
He also knows the dizziness dropped and turned into a wave of lightheadedness, his loss of senses had been progressing throughout the day, but it quickly ramped up as his family was sat around the table for dinner, and before he knew it, the tight grasp that feeling of “something isn’t right” had on his chest let go as suddenly as David’s consciousness did.
This is a prequel to a multi-chaptered fic I'm writing at the moment. The fainting condition isn't necessarily the main focus, but whatever I started writing this to get inspiration for that and liked it enough
