  2. Summary

    A look into the lives of a pack of street rats just trying to make it during the turn of the century, and maybe being able to find some happiness along the way.

    A collection of newsies fics I've written over time, because this is my comfort media and I love these boys very much. All of them take place in the same timeline, but any of them can be read on their own.

    Disclaimer: they are written from a movie-verse perspective since that's what I grew up watching; that's not meant to gatekeep/deter anyone, just if there are any inconsistencies with the Broadway musical that's probably why.

    Will update as time permits. Enjoy <3

    Summary

    “Oh, I’m so sick of you both,” Claire says, apropos of nothing.

    Chris has to laugh, because if he doesn’t, he’ll explode. “Yeah,” he agrees, “I am too.”

    It shouldn’t make any sense. It’s just him and Claire, sitting on his fire escape, her nose scrunched at him while he exhales smoke into her space. They had been silent up until she spoke, but he knows. “Can’t you just talk to him?” She pleads, pushing the hand holding his cigarette away from herself. She quit years ago. Chris still allows himself this one vice.

    He thinks about it. He could. It isn’t like it’s never occurred to him. But he replies, “Nah. We’re not good together.”

    Well. Maybe he allows himself more than one vice.

    Summary

    Chris Redfield is fine, thanks for asking. He has an amazing husband, a fantastic sister, and close friends he cares about. More than most can say in this awful world of theirs.

    He has been coping just fine, thank you very much. Sure, he has chronic migraines, a worsening nicotine addiction, and a nonexistent appetite, but he’s fine. All Chris needs to worry about is supporting those he cares about. He’ll handle himself.

    Eventually.

    Summary

    It starts at the grocery store, of all things. Leon is just minding his own business, browsing through the different options of rye bread as he tries to decide which one he’d like to try. Suddenly there are arms wrapped around him from behind, Chris’ warm body pressing so close to him that it’s probably a little too obvious at least judging by the long look one of the old women at the end of the aisle gives them.

    “Chris?” Leon asks, even as he instinctively leans back against the other man, enjoying how he can always trust that Chris can easily hold him up. “What’s going on?” His voice almost breaks at the end of the question as Chris shifts his hips, presses his hardness against Leon’s butt, and practically growls low in his ear.

    “If we weren’t in public right now,” Chris says, so low that only Leon can hear. His hot breath hits Leon’s ear, and Leon shudders helplessly already before Chris goes on. “I’d have my head between your legs.”
