Why this must be read: One of the things I love about Newsies fandom is that Modern Day AUs are as much a part of it as 1899 fic. There's something about taking the characters and putting them in situations that you couldn't get in 1899 that I love, especially when you get to see the original characters shine through as well.
Cymbalism wrote a great Meet the Family fic, and her Spot voice is excellent. Of course, her writing is always excellent, so that isn't a surprise. I love her Spot and Race in this, and even though it is an updated setting, you still see so much of the characters in them.
Every Christmas was the same. If it were up to Sean, he'd spend the day with a beer and a book, but he recognized it made his mom happy to have everyone together. So, he always showed up Christmas day, and there was always the same circus of cousins with kids (hence the six shrieking children) and uncles with beer bellies and aunts with various accents.
This was the first year he'd changed the formula. This was the first year he'd invited Tony. Or anyone.
Of course, it had kind of been an accident. A few days ago, Tony told him Christmas was bookended with work and he wouldn't be able to get away to his parent's new place upstate, and without really thinking about it Sean had said, "Come to Brooklyn. Dinner's at six."
