Sometimes, things don't need to be said to be understood.

~~~~~~~~~~

Liane Thierry doesn't remember anything beyond the past four months, give or take. After an incident she'd been told had ruined her future, at an ice hockey game during the World Championships, she was lucky enough to only be diagnosed with retrograde amnesia, and slowly, but surely, be regaining her memories. The more and more recent the memories get, the harder they are for her to remember. Her knowledge of recent events that'd occurred for her closely prior to the incident were all based off others' memories.

She holds onto everything she remembers by only mentally recording the memories she's returned, rather than what her therapist had instructed. She's mostly recovered now, anyway.

Suddenly, she begins to remember someone who she cannot recall the identity of. Memories of the same person over and over continue to piece together in her brain, and she can tell it was a lover. But it couldn't be current, for there was no one now. Where was he now?

Curiosity killed the cat.

Thank god she wasn't a cat.

"What is wrong with you, Memphis? What the hell happened?" "I don't know, Houston. Stop asking me so many questions." "You aren't supposed to remember my name. You aren't supposed to remember anything. Where do the Sabres play? When did our eight week old kitten get killed? Did the Bruins beat the Canadiens last week? What did our father die from?" "Uh...the Sabres play at KeyBank Center. As for Elliot, he died on June 6, 2042. The B's fell to the Habs 4-1 in Montreal last week, and our father was hit by a car. What do you want, Houston? Why are we turning this into an interrogation room?" "It's because, Memphis, three days ago was your fourteenth birthday. On that day, all your memories were to be erased, but it didn't work. You seem to remember over half your memories, but you aren't supposed to remember even one." ** The year is 2049. Twenty-five years ago, scientists revealed a new plan to make the world a better place. On every person's 14th birthday, their personal memories would be completely erased, leaving them with only basic skills like walking, eating, and breathing and academic skills up to eighth grade level. From several successful tests, scientists determined that without traumatic childhood experiences, people wouldn't have as much built-up anger to release on others. Up until present day, everything has worked. But on August 1, 2049, a girl named Memphis comes back from the MemoCenter in downtown St. Louis remembering nearly everything. Memphis remembers that she was born in Laval, Canada, to Adeline and Laurent Turcotte, on July 29, 2035. She knows that she became a US citizen when her family moved to Missouri in 2038, and that her 18-year-old brother is Houston. She knows the names of all 32 NHL teams, and worst of all, she remembers every event from her childhood and early adolescence. If anyone finds out, she will be executed. Will Memphis Turcotte keep her secret, or will this be one thing she forgets? ~COMPLETED!~ Word count: about 37k

18+ only #1 in Marriage of Convenience [July 2024] "The fewer people that know the truth the better. And if this all goes smoothly, you two will be able to get divorced before the hockey season ends." "I have the places where you both will sign," His eyes lifted and scanned both of us. "But only of course, if you both agree to this." "I'll do it," I said honestly. Minnow sighed outwardly and bit her bottom lip. "If you need more time-" "No," she swallowed, staring at the thick packet in front of us. "I feel like this goes without saying but...no sex. Of any kind. It only complicates things." My cheeks flushed with heat, probably turning pink and Minnow choked. "We won't..." I shook my head, clenching my jaw. Shivers crossed my back. "You don't have to worry about that," Minnow said obviously. "Trust me." ***************************************** Minnow Noel is known for two things: being a hot head and an amazing figure skater. Running from a dark relationship and a past version of herself, she ends up where her skating career all started. Norwegian native Søren Skejeggstad's only focus in life is hockey. With no time for women or a personal life, his only goal is to become the top NHL all-star. But when a major problem arises, he's at risk of losing his dreams if he doesn't figure something out. They were once friends in a past life but now things are cold as ice between them. Just the thought of Søren alone makes Minnow's blood run cold and he'd rather avoid her at all costs. But now an opportunity presents itself and wait...can they get along for a little while or will they end up killing each other before their agreement is through? Started: September 2023 Completed: June 2024

Alison doesn't like hockey. It isn't so much the sport itself that she doesn't like, but rather the people who play it. Growing up the daughter of a local hockey legend with a superstar brother who follows in their father's footsteps, hockey players are all she has ever been around. After a bad break-up with her brother's ex-teammate, she swore off all hockey players for life. She is sick of hockey, sick of the players, and sick of Maukingnen Falls, but she can't seem to get away from any of it. Using her dad's connections in her career doesn't exactly help the situation, but she's determined to make a name for herself outside of the hockey world. If that means name dropping her famous family to get a few meetings so she can finally move out of her hometown and leave her reputation behind her, then she'll buckle up and deal with it. That is until she takes too much of an advantage dropping her last name and somehow ends up in the showers of her hometown's hockey team. Who catches her there? None other than the team's captain. Dylan Cavanaugh doesn't like his private life on display, but being the biggest player in hockey at his young age makes it hard to keep his private life private. Things blow up when his breakup with his Hollywood actress ex-girlfriend quite literally take over the town and he can't seem to escape the attention of every reporter and single woman he sees. When he finds out the real reason the woman he caught in the showers hates hockey, he makes a proposition that could benefit both of them. Now he's in a fake relationship to avoid having to continuously deny a real one because the girl he chose would never date another hockey player. The plan is flawless: fake a relationship to break away from her family name and save him from unwanted attention. This plan could get her out of Maukingnen Falls. It could get her family to respect her again. And it could get her toxic ex-boyfriend to finally leave her alone. What could possibly go wrong?

The Boston Experiment by itmegritty1
14 parts Complete
There's a lab below TD Garden, a sports arena in Boston, Massachusetts. The owners of the arena know about it, but it is secret to the public. Why is this lab there? For genetic engineering, of course. In this lab, babies are made specifically to be NHL goaltenders. It is not a choice. No one can refuse. Once-famous hockey player Bobby Orr, the head of goalie-making (a science he has been doing since 1982), is the one who runs this inhumane practice. He believes that the NHL's goaltenders have become too awful, and the league is going from professional to pee-wee. It needs more goalies. It always needs more goalies. ******************** Tuukka Rask, also known as G0340, is "born" in Boston on March 10, 1987. Of course, the public must not know this, so Tuukka's place of birth is listed as Savonlinna. This city is in "Finland," another lie that the public blindly believes. Bobby Orr pays a lot of attention to Tuukka, especially because he made a few mistakes making the genotype that could cause problems. However, by 18, the goalie is ready to play in the NHL, completely unaware that his childhood was spent in a lab thanks to implanted false memories. He is sent to the Toronto Maple Leafs in order to be tested, then traded back to the Boston Bruins so his career can officially begin. One day in 2017, Tuukka's 11-year-old daughter, Sinikka, stumbles across a door that her mother told her about. The door is unlocked. A scanner glued to the front panel is broken. Sinikka opens the door and discovers that her mother was telling the truth and that her father's whole childhood was a lie. She immediately tells Tuukka about her astounding discovery. What will Tuukka do? ~COMPLETED!~ Word count: about 16k NOTE: I got this idea from a comment on a Reddit thread about the best goaltenders in the NHL. Also, the Finland not existing thing is satire, LOL.
