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

83. Chapter 83

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.

"Right," the carpenter deadpanned. "Anyways, you should be getting guests soon. They've been coming in droves throughout the day—everyone heard what happened, of course. I made sure to set the story straight."

"Do you even know what happened?" Tom snapped impulsively; the anger of feeling imprisoned was getting to him.

The older man took no offense. "Setting the story straight goes right under taking care of you. Your God made sure I knew what happened, and took proper action to save your hide and burn James' arse. He can be quite the demon—don't tell him I said that."

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.
