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

6. Chapter 6

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.

Tom didn't really believe in gods, or if they existed, that they didn't have any effect on reality. They were in another world, so to speak, and stayed there, out of the affairs of humans…

So he felt ridiculous following the carpenter's advice, but what could he do? He was admittedly desperate, and there was really nothing to lose by trying, so here he was.

The bouquet of lilies felt odd in Tom's hands, the offering that the carpenter had recommended. Apparently the offerings had to be to His liking.

This was ridiculous. He took a deep breath and threw.

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.
