Proceed With Caution by Poison Ivory (R)
Fandom: NEWSIES
Pairing: Spot Conlon/Racetrack Higgins
Length: 1800
Author on LJ: Unknown
Author Website: Poison Ivory
Why this must be read: Modern AU's are the most prevalent stories in the Newsies fandom. Unfortunately, they're not my favorite thing, but this story won me over. It's a short one-shot but I just really loved the characters voices. The best one-shots don't over-explain scenarios or give complex background information; they just let the characters *be* let's them show what's going on. That's what the author does here and it really works. Spot and Race have a confrontation when Race comes back from college. There's a lot of information to infer and guess about, just by how each of them acts. I thought this was well-written and one of the few modern AU's that I actually like.
