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

67. Chapter 67

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 know I've already said this," Harry began, eyeing Tom, "but you're coming along very well. Not a bad idea at all to have had an expansion—you'll need the space. Good job."

Tom felt more than a little pleased at the praise. "Have I suitably impressed you, then?"

The Harvest God smiled. "You still have a ways to go," he said, but not unkindly. "But you'll learn, too."

He suddenly felt the startling realization that his summoning today was from mere habit. There was nothing Tom needed help with, and he could do his daily chores in his sleep.

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.
