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

61. Chapter 61

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.

"Indeed I am," replied the carpenter with a sharp nod. "Every day, I see you spend some time chopping up some lumber. I bet that's built up, huh? Tell you what—if you have enough wood, all you have to pay is the labor fee."

"Are you desperately looking for a job, or are you just bored?" Tom mused.

His reply was a serious look. "I'm helping you as a friend," he said. "You don't think your God will stand staying in a small little house, do you?"

"We aren't in a relationship," Tom blandly protested, used to the familiar accusation.

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.
