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

108. Chapter 108

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.

"Wotcher, Tom!" greeted Tonks and Ron Weasley. Fleur Delacour also waved to him as she handled her two customers.

"Good morning," he returned, though he wasn't feeling all too great himself. "What's the occasion?" He motioned to the bouquet of white flowers.

"They're for Hermione," Tonks supplied. "Ron wanted to get her something meaningful for her birthday today!"

"I'll have to stop by and wish her well, then," Tom mused. "But, hmm… white flowers?"

Ron grinned. "Recently, Hermione's been enrapture by the Queen of the Night stories! So I thought it'd at least amuse her if I got her these."

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.
