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

22. Chapter 22

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.

The Potter inn was definitely the place to go if one wanted to see… well, everyone else.

Charlus Potter greeted him behind the bar. "Hello, Tom. Early today, no? Well, that's fine—everyone needs a break once and awhile!"

"Father's right," a soft voice said, coming from the stairs. Lily Evans smiled softly at him as she placed a glass of water down on the table. "Be sure not to push yourself too hard, okay?"

Tom replied with his usual pleasantries, relaxing into his seat. Lily Evans was probably the only single female that he could stand in this town.

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.
