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

12. Chapter 12

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 had managed to purchase his first chicken with relatively small problems. It was an expensive bird, admittedly—at least to him. After making small talk with Andromeda Tonks and her husband, Ted Tonks, it had been easy enough to purchase the animal with a minor discount.

But outside, he had, of course, bumped into their daughter—Nymphadora, preferably just Tonks—and then, in his mind, the metaphorical shit had hit the fan. It wasn't that she wasn't nice, but simply… odd. And outgoing. And loud.

And not the type of person he wanted to be around.

Harry was pleased.

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.
