Living in the Moment

by Rendered Reversed

Tricked into possessing a seemingly unfarmable plot of land, Tom Riddle is forced to make things work and build up his new life from scratch in Mineral Town. He expected eventual success, a lot of hard work, and several painstaking seasons of the "outsider" reputation... but no one ever mentioned falling in love with a god. A life story told in 100 word snippets. TMR/HP SLASH

10. Chapter 10

Warnings: future SLASH (boy x boy), MAJOR NO-MAGIC!AU (Alternate Universe, specifically the Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town setting), possible OOC, life story

Pairings: TMR/HP, implied AD/GG, implied KS/NT (Kingsley x Tonks), onesided JP/LE

Standard disclaimer applies: I do not own Harry Potter or any brand you recognize in this story. J.K. Rowling is credited with the creation of these characters (I'm not fond of using OCs in my own fanfiction). I also do not own the Harvest Moon series by Natsume.

"So now that we've established your dominance in the farm," Harry began one day as he gratefully accepted Tom's offering, "What say you to expanding a bit?"

"…I don't follow," Tom said. He had grown to understand that he was better off listening to the Harvest God than ignoring his advice.

"You need animals."

"If you didn't notice, I'm a bit poor right now," Tom retorted. "Nor am I settled quite yet. With all the work I do on the land, how am I supposed to take care of animals?"

Harry smiled. "Oh, but you've already finished the hard part!"

Posted in its full form on Ao3, except for the sequel and the eventual epilogue :). I'll be posting 5 of these per a day (I think?), but because it's long that might become 10 a day.
