Ouroborus by Vera_DragonMuse (R)
Fandom: NEWSIES
Pairing: Spot Conlon/Racetrack Higgins, Jack Kelly/David Jacobs
Length: 35,000
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website: Vera
Why this must be read: I'm a sucker for when authors take mythology and fit it into a fandom where you would never think to see it happen. This story totally shocked me with how good it is. Vera takes the mythology/fantasy element and makes it such an epic, amazing part of the Newsies 'verse. What's also great is the mythology isn't lifted straight out of anywhere - it's a hodgepodge of different elements and it's all just incredibly *cool*. There's a dreamscape, demons, Alexander the Great, and the badass image of Spot Conlon swirling his cane around alive with blue flames - fantastic. The relationships are developed really well in the midst of all the fantasy and there's a great side-plot about these boys handling how they feel about each other in the early 20th century. Seriously, go read this. I stayed up so late the first time because I just could. not. stop. reading. So go stay up super late like I did and give the author some love as well :)
