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

38. Chapter 38

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.

"He's been with me since the beginning," Tom said defensively. "It would feel odd if he's not there."

"Are you sure it isn't more than his advice you're missing?" joined in Kingsley.

"What else could it be?" the farmer asked with a huff, not wanting to think about it at all.

"Try this then, lad," the carpenter dealt. "Refrain from summoning him for two days. One to feel, the second to understand. Trust me, the Harvest God won't mind. I'll even go offer in your place."

The thought of someone else offering to Harry was uncomfortable, to say the least.

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.
