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

62. Chapter 62

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.

"Eventually I'll build you a kitchen," the carpenter said lazily, leaning back in his seat. "But before that, you need to expand your shack."

"A kitchen?" asked Tom, amused.

This time, the carpenter grinned boyishly. "The Harvest God might love food in its raw form, but he appreciates something cooked… as long as it's from the field," he sent the farmer a suggestive look. "I'm sure he'd love to see you do something with your crops other than sell them."

Tom was silent.

"All of the believers know a few of His favorite recipes," the carpenter went on.

Tom sighed.

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.
