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

31. Chapter 31

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.

They ended up, surprisingly enough, in the church, where they were greeted by the pastor, Remus Lupin.

"Have you come for confession?" he asked kindly as he gave them both a towel. "It's best to get out of the rain, even if you haven't. The church will shelter all."

"Thanks, Lupin," the carpenter said gruffly. "Good to see you again."

Remus smiled. "And you, Gellert. Tom—"he turned to greet the farmer as well,"—nice to see you well. The honey you gave me was delicious."

Tom inclined his head. "A little bird told me that you would appreciate it."

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.
