Moving to New Orleans to start up her rehabilitation hotel for criminals hasn't been all berries for Charlie, especially if everybody thinks you're some Dumb Dora with a complete horseshit plan.

Summary
Speakeasies and roadsters, prohibition and organized crime. New York is no stranger to the furthest reaches of man’s desire. Some want fame and will do anything they can to get it, others want money. Some just want to solve the damn problem. It isn’t all so linear, and it’s hardly a piece of cake. There’s peril, romance, and a very fine line between the two.
A.K.A - A 1920s Newsies AU; Davey’s a detective/investigative journalist, Jack’s an artist by day and a performer by night, and Spot and Race are rival gang leaders at each other’s throats.

"In fact, that's why I'm here— with your interests in mind— suggesting you step down. There are less diplomatic ways I could go about it."

Summary
As an up-and-coming scientist, you're a firm believer in logic and have always thought the tales of humans and monsters to be myths, a theory you're forced to accept as wrong when these begin to show up at the speakeasy you're a part of.
It's the not-so roarin' nineteen twenties considering your bleak and overall lowly position in the world. Shifting between jobs as the town's bookworm and a singer for a speakeasy, while dangerous, doesn't bring much conflict or excitement into your life, most of it spent trying to survive and keeping your family afloat. Things take a turn when a gun's pointed at your head, your saviour being a large goatman and his helper a skeleton, both who help you live undercover, unnoticed, and underground.

Summary
The year is 1922 and a speakeasy called The Patron is thriving in its element. But it wasn't always like this. A year ago, it had been in disrepair and ready to vanish into obscurity. But Patton Moore wasn't ready to shut his doors just yet.
The year of 1921 was one change after the other. The Kingsley twins returned and shined as musicians, familiar faces guarded the doors and bar... Calling in the cavalry meant bringing in an old friend for help, and mob bosses aren't the first thought when it comes to investing in a bar. So what happened?
What happened to a place that was lousy with misfortune to make it change?
Pull up a chair. Sit down. We'll pour you a drink and tell you a story.
