Rosemary Vickson has had a tough life. She was born into a family of skaters. Currently her brother is a Olympian who has never gotten below bronze and her mother and father own Vickson Mills Rink and they are both coaches at the exclusive (only the best of the best can skate there) Vickson Mills Rink. To get into Vickson Mills Rink you either have to pay loads of money or audition (but mind you the judges are tough).  At a young age Rosemary or Rose for short had always refused to skated, so at the age of 5 her parents disowned her telling everybody she died and locked her in the attic with water and bread. When Ariana Winston, Rose's babysitter found out that Rose was still alive she immediately took her by her side. Ariana was only 19 when she took Rose in but she still played the mother role for Rose. 

Now 12 years later Rose is know as Thea Winston, the best skater at Winston Rink. Winston Rink is owned by Ariana's parents and unlike Vickson Mills Rink, anybody can skate at Winston Rink. It was built for everybody to experience what its like to skate.

Thea's goal is to compete in the next Olympics which is in 2 years. She's got the creativity needed and the skills but the city has a weird rule; if you want to compete for the Olympics you have to attend the Vickson Mills Rink Summer Camp. Which you can't pay to get in only audition and the audition judges for the camp are even more strict.

Thea could easily pass the auditions but she doesn't want to face her parents or her brother who trains there too and the terrible memories of when she was younger of her parents forcing her onto the rink.

Thea decides that she's going to have to be brave and hope that her so called parents don't recognise her.

After all people give up lots to go to the Olympics.

Victoria 'Ria' Winters is the youngest out of all her quadruplet sisters; the one with the dark humor and haunting past. That's why she worked so hard for scholarships abroad to get as far away as possible. All her sisters had their own challenges, but nothing compared to Ria's past. When a traumatic event when she was 11 repeated itself when she was a freshman in college, it nearly destroyed her like the 1st time. She's learned from an early age to trust no one. Especially not men. After an assault by Vlad Wolves, the younger brother of the star hockey captain Nikolai Wolves, Ria was dragged through a brutal court case that nearly ended her. Vlad, a master manipulator and narcissist, turned the tables, leaving Ria to bear the blame and forcing her to transfer schools to escape the shame. Now, three years later, Ria has rebuild her life at one of the best universities in the world, focused solely on her studies and her future. But when Nik-who's always despised her for 'trying to ruin his family image for attention and money'-needs help to save his beloved place on the hockey team, he's forced to turn to the one person he hates most: Victoria. Nikolai had his own reasons to hate Ria. But when his powerful father, who has always had doubts about Vlad's innocence, insists that Ria tutors Nik in exchange for her fully funded graduate scholarship abroad, they're both trapped. Obviously, Ria hated that whole family for what happened freshman year in her former college. Especially Nikolai Wolves who testified against her, as if the moron had even been there when his younger brother assaulted her. Forced to work together Victoria and Nikolai's mutual hatred ignites into a battle of wills. There sessions are a minefield of cutting remarks, icy glares, and unresolved anger. But beneath the venom, there's undeniable tension-attraction. Beneath the anger and hurt, they begin to uncover the truth about each other-and about Vlad.

But she left that life behind, going to America, and becoming a 'Avenger'. Only problem is, the people who trained her want her back. And they will take whatever they have to. Here is where Annika comes in. She is the youngest girl ever to graduate from the Red room at the young age of thirteen. As a baby, she was found left by the gates of the building, abandoned. Left with only a first name, they decided to take her in. She grew up there, starting her training much younger than the six year olds that are dropped off. With that start, and simply never knowing anything else, made her much more dangerous than any other girl there. She started missions at six, being able to do more damage because of her younger age. They found another mission for her, one that was unique from all of her others. She had to befriend the young Spider-Man, and get him to show her the other Avengers. So she could bring the older Black Widow home. AN: Okay, so I'm gonna say it now, before the story even starts. I am making a separate universe. I won't lie to you, I hated how Infinity War and Endgame went. So, something happened to Thanos after Age of Ultron, like he got murdered by somebody. So that threat just won't come anymore. Just thought I'd let you know.
Going To Williamsport by richagnello
20 parts Complete Mature
What would you do if you were the 12 year-old new ace pitcher of a very small town American baseball team, you and your teammates go on in one magical year to represent your roots at the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, and you were much too embarrassed beyond mere words to see your own mother cheer you on as you take the big stage hundreds of miles away? This is Sooner's situation, and his story for the ages is Going to Williamsport, as he faces a mother suffering through acute paranoid psychosis, or just simply really crazy things, in the early years of deinstitutionalization of the mentally ill during the Eisenhower administration. As the awkward moments pile up, the dirty looks and misunderstandings multiply in town, and the psychotropic drugs and Demedication sessions gather endlessly without the option to "just put her away" anymore, the only child Sooner only sees his own embarrassment and severe contempt for a Semper Fi father who will not deny his marriage vows, nor his unbelievable love for his own son. Going to Williamsport matters more than anything to Sooner, but definitely not at the expense of seeing "her" in those stands. In his own very young words, he takes as much as he possibly can, and then makes incredibly clear in the clearest of places that he alone, with his team is going to Williamsport, and Dad isn't and certainly Mom isn't, either. Sooner's story plays out as a kid farther away from the far western Oklahoma Panhandle than he's ever been. Sooner rather than later, his decision to be separate and apart from Mom and Dad is rewarded in surprising ways, but to everyone's surprise, Sooner understands very quickly how his family coin truly has two sides that look surprisingly alike.

C H A N C E: do (something) despite its being dangerous or of uncertain outcome "You walked out on me! No text, call, or letter! Nothing! I just woke up one day and you were gone!" Rooster yelled at her. She stood there in pain from just seeing him, Rosemary couldn't look at him without seeing her mistakes. "I didn't mean to hurt you... I-I just couldn't say goodbye because if I did I never would have left. I have 3 children now because of my sister's death. I wasn't going to drag you along with that. You were already set back so much from Maverick and the hatred you had towards him, was something I didn't want. If I held you back then you would have hated me too," a few tears rolled down her face as she looked at his shoes. She couldn't bare to look up at him. He shook his head as he exhaled out trying to calm down. "But I would have never hated you. I can't hate you. It bothers me that I haven't been able to hate you for walking out on me... and then you have to hide with all the pain... I just wished you told me," he told her and took a step closer. She had looked up at him and her heart shattered even more. The whole group was there watching there fight but didn't even have words for any of it. Phoenix was the only one who knew about everything. The kids, her sister, her parents, all of it. Pheonix had watched her break down over and over and over, but she didn't realize how much it might have hurt her to see the one person she had loved her whole life. "I'm sorry, Bradley but I have to go," she turned around and passed the whole group. She didn't bare to change in the lockers but headed straight to her car.
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.
