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

81. Chapter 81

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.

He was almost too afraid to ask about Harry, but it seemed like he didn't need to. The carpenter knew.

"Your God was furious, and rightfully so, you know," the carpenter said conversationally, "The Potters got their son back with quite a bit of damage done. His two accomplices were apparently fugitives from the neighboring village—they're in jail now."

"And?" Tom inquired.

The carpenter ignored him. "I'd never seen such a sight before—the Harvest God, in all his glory, appearing right inside my old cottage with his fists clenched and rage in his eyes… by the gods, terrifying!"

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.
