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

45. Chapter 45

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.

Lily smiled shyly all of a sudden, and it was like her entire face lit up. "There's a cave behind the waterfall," she excitedly revealed in a whisper. "He took care of me there. The Harvest God was very kind—I'm eternally grateful to him. I'm glad that you believe; his follower base has greatly diminished ever since the Great Storm twenty five years ago."

Tom tucked away the information for later, private inquiry. Instead, he focused on the last part of her sentence. "There was… a storm?"

"I wasn't born yet, so I've only heard of it… but yes."

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.
