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

54. Chapter 54

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.

"I could help, you know," Harry began again. "If there's a person you like, I can help increase their affection for you. Give them a little push in the right direction. Your farm is blossoming well, you should also think about yourself some time."

"I always think of myself," Tom retorted. "If the farm does well, I do well. And there isn't anyone I like in that way; I'm sure the carpenter can vouch for that."

Harry frowned, but then grinned. "What about this?" he asked. "A gift for you."

With careful hands, Tom gratefully accepted the mysterious white flower.

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.
