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

21. Chapter 21

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.

"If you're tired, you should rest," Harry said suddenly one day as he watched Tom till the field.

Tom stopped, wiping his brow with a clothed arm. "That's a surprise. Usually you're egging me on," he noted.

The Harvest God smiled. "Hard workers especially need a day of rest when one is due. Why don't you go to the Potter inn and relax a bit? Your last shipment sold well—why not have a nice meal to celebrate?"

"What of the field? I'm not done with work today—"

Harry gently interrupted him. "I'll take care of the rest, okay?"

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.
