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

41. Chapter 41

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.

Summer was a harsh time, but the weather was good. Tom once again stood up from planting his pineapples to wipe his brow from sweat. His first summer here was hotter than he could imagine.

"Have a drink," Harry called from beneath the apple tree from where he was watching. In his extended hand was a glass of milk—Tom's very own, of course.

Moving over, the farmer accepted it graciously. He downed it in one go, reveling in the cold liquid that slid down his throat.

"Appreciate your cow now, don't you?" asked the Harvest God smugly.

Tom grimaced.

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.
