    Summary

    As World War II slowly approaches, David Jacobs comes across the woman who ruined his reputation and his love life. But as his time comes to an end, in order to let go of his past, Jacobs intends to burn the letters his husband wrote him during their youth. Yet, with this woman in his house, he couldn't bring himself to it. Preserving every moment of Kelly's life, Jacobs--the last of the Manhattan Newsies--relives through an era he never told anyone. Not even to his husband. Now, as this woman enters Kelly's studio, she surrenders a pair of keys to that particular studio and walks away. Leaving David Jacobs alone and cold once again. With only minutes waiting, David Jacobs becomes the center of Kelly's life. With a candle in front of him, Jacobs is willing to do anything to preserve his husband's legacy. Even if it meant to forgive the unforgivable.

    --

    OR a retelling of Newsies but make it Javey but with more drama, romance, and toss in a little politics in there

    Summary

    He could only glare at him, but lessened the pressure he was putting on Jack’s face. He held his hand tenderly, wiping the blood off of his bruised knuckles, and kissing each one of them. “Jack, you have got to stop getting into other people’s fights. I could have held my own.”
    ~~~
    Or, Jack gets into a fight, and they have a little talk.

    Summary

    David Jacobs would sincerely like to curse his moral compass, along with Katherine Plumber, who insisted that he needs to come with her to confront Jack after the rally. Oh — and Specs, who enabled them by telling Katherine where Jack’s ‘penthouse’ (the unstable roof of the lodging house) is.

    Or — the scene with Jack and Katherine after The Rally, except it's Jack, Katherine, AND David. And they're all in love.

    Summary

    “Hang on,” Jack says, hand chasing Davey’s, which then falls uselessly to his side. The crease between his eyebrows has now become more prominent. “Davey, what are you talkin’ about?”

    “You’re—you’re breaking up with me, aren’t you?” Davey whispers, just loud enough to be heard.

    Davey fears the worst when Jack says he wants to 'talk.'

    Summary

    Jack has all the freedom and none of the security. And Davey is jealous.

    Learning to throw a punch won’t fix this. Becoming a writer won’t fix this. This is Davey’s, his whole life. Familial expectations, familial duties. Jack doesn’t change a thing.

    So, Davey packs it away. Boxes it up tight, ships it to the North Pole, and lets it go. He tries to enjoy this, his friend over for dinner, everyone happy and smiling. He succeeds, he thinks.

    Summary

    Once Mayer is cleared to go back to work, though, nights like those are few and far between.

    As promised, as soon as their father finds a new job that will be easier on his health, Les and David are back in the classroom, learning literature and arithmetic as though their summer hadn’t been taken over by the strike. David had considered it a miracle, and Les had dreaded it since the start, but school was in session and David finally had structure back in his life.

    That was what was missing, right? Structure. A clear plan. No roadblocks, no mishaps— a guidebook to the rest of his life, one he had made up when he was far too young to worry about such things.

    Summary

    the Yellowjackets au that nobody asked for.
    -
    The Lions are at the top of their game. They're flying out to go to Nationals and prove themselves champions.
    The plane going down was not part of the game plan. Nor was getting stranded in the wilderness with only each other, no sign of rescue and winter coming on fast.
    Even with all of that, the most unprecedented part of it was the way they turned on one another.

    Summary

    David Jacobs comes from a well off family and a life of education. He doesn’t care for the newsboys on the corners, waving their papers and shouting headlines like their lives depend on it. Doesn’t care for the alleys he’s passed where those boys are in fights. Beating each other and spitting vulgar swears and slurs in each other’s faces. He doesn’t care!

    But life doesn’t care either.

    Summary

    First, it was his leg. He already couldn’t use it to support himself, but it was only a matter of time before he couldn’t feel it at all. Katherine quietly paid to have him get it amputated. It was hard for him—and for all of us, to see him go through it—but we knew it needed to be done. We’d heard of things like this happening across the pond, where one day it’s a leg, the next day it’s an arm, and eventually…
    We didn’t want it to happen to him. We had to stop it from spreading as soon as we could. He understood. We’d take care of him, all of us.
    But there’s no need to worry for Crutchie, we thought. He’s a tough kid; whatever this is, he’ll beat it.
    But in less than a month, he toppled over in the middle of a work day.

    Summary

    David Jacobs had always heard falling in love was like falling asleep – slowly and then all at once. Figures Jack Kelly would make himself the exception to that rule too.

    Or the canon rewrite that wouldn't stop bugging me where David Jacobs is terribly in love with Jack Kelly, but it takes a strike, a betrayal, and a reunion to get him to confront his feelings.
