Summary
Jack just knew, deep in his chest, that Davey wasn't telling him something. He was a bad liar to begin with, but the shifty glances and hasty exits had almost grown to be too much as of late. There was something happening and Jack was ridiculously out of the loop, which was beyond frustrating. Wasn't he supposed to be in the loop? Weren't he and Dave supposed to be best friends, or selling partners or co-presidents or whatever? He was tired of trying to catch that anxious green gaze, tired of chasing after answers.
What in the world could've been bothering Davey enough to push him to this level of silence? Jack was bound and determined to get to the bottom of it, even if it meant pushing his other priorities aside.

Summary
Jack Kelly was afraid of a lot of things.
He was afraid that winter would come early, sending a chill through the lodge that would spread illness and hunger. He was afraid he and Racetrack wouldn’t be able to get enough gloves and hats and scarves and boots to keep the boys warm. He was afraid he would never get away to Santa Fe and its vast, open spaces. He was afraid of the Spider. And the Refuge. And how it would break his boys if they were taken. How it was probably breaking Crutchie now.
He was afraid he would break, if the blows didn’t stop soon.
Maybe that’s why he took the deal.
In which Davey learns why Jack took Pulitzer's deal, and what he had to endure in the meantime.

Summary
Jack needs new boots. This is what he thinks as a puddle of water seeps out of them with each step into the Bronx lodging house. He bought these ones two years ago and now they just barely fit his feet. He must have had one last growth spurt in the past years since he saved up to buy them.
Considering how rough this past winter was, they had definitely withered more. The steel toe cap lifted up from the sole every time he took a step.
or
Jack Kelly devotes so much time taking care of the other newsies, he forgets to take care of himself; his stubbornness leads him to an alley were some angry Bronx newsies jump him.

Summary
(title is from The Amores by Ovid, means "And my name will always be linked to yours.")
The hours they spent working had gotten better since the strike, sure, but it felt like Jack's workload had quadrupled. Even Sundays, when they didn’t have a new edition to sell in the evening. On the other hand, they had almost their whole days free. And if they played their cards right, they could sell a lot less on Sundays.
It was nice. The previous Sunday, they’d collectively decided to deep clean the lodge for once. For the first time in…Jack didn’t want to think about it actually. The one before that, the older newsies had learned how to give each other small tattoos.
This Sunday, Jack and David had found themselves laying out on the fire escape, David’s arms wrapped around Jack securely. Looking out over some of the nearby buildings, just enjoying what might be the last weekend of not needing coats while working.

Summary
Jack has taken everything from him.
The sea rages around them, but for the first time this evening Jack looks at him. Not the mess of a crowd that grumbles and storms away, not the failed collection of their most important allies, not the money in his hand or a horribly disappointed Medda Larkin. Jack looks at David and for just a moment David sees regret on his face. Or maybe he just wants to see that, he can’t say anymore.
It’s at that moment that Jack feels his heart break.
-OR: A confession between two strike leaders succeeding the betrayal of Jack's show at the rally. (What should have happened before Once And For All.) David forgave Jack way too quick and was way too happy when printing the papers, so this is what should have happened between them!

Summary
Jack was no stranger to being beaten by cops and their off-the-clock buddies, but it got worse after the strike. They knew Jack’s face and Snyder seemed to have plenty of friends outside jail.
They knew Crutchie’s face, was the current predicament, and Crutchie required damn near 24-hour protection from the enforcer-type newsies at this point. Jack could defend himself, and for what it was worth, C could absolutely hold his own in a fight. But against multiple cops? Not even Mush stood a chance of making it out without help.
Jack was the newsie whose drawings shut down the refuge. Crutchie was the kid who everyone seemed hellbent on saving. They were targets #1 and #2.
They were selling in the snow, shouting headlines about killer storms and human-eating squirrels when all down the block they heard an ear-splitting whistle, followed by Albert yelling, “Jack, Mush! Get over here, it’s C!”

Summary
It was an illness that could've been avoided easily, if David would've just guarded his heart more closely. Still, he found himself hacking up the contents of his aching lungs in an uncomfortably cramped alleyway with thoughts of Jack Kelly clouding his head, and he realized that there really wasn't any coming back from this. He'd made a mistake and his life was totally and completely ruined over a boy who'd never spare him a second glance.
It was almost laughable, how much David loved Jack. He was a pathetic mess over the boy, with tiny blue flower petals stuck to his lips and chin, and visions of deep brown eyes swimming through his mind. David was lovelorn. Really and truly lovesick.
