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

35. Chapter 35

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.

Because it was too late into spring to grow any strawberries, and it wasn't summer quite yet, Tom didn't have the chance to grow Harry's favorites, though in his last harvest, he did stop by with something other than flowers.

The Harvest God accepted his offering of cabbage enthusiastically. As he rose, he ripped part of the leaf and ate it with a thoughtful expression.

"You've grown," he said with a large smile. "It's very good—you put a lot of care into your crops. I can tell."

Tom was determined to set aside some of his harvest every rotation.

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.
