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

109. Chapter 109

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.

"…Queen of the Night?" Tom asked kindly.

The two shared a look. "Sorry, Tom! We forgot that you haven't been here all too long… honest."

Tonks coughed slightly, and then got back on topic. "The Queen of the Night is actually a flower said to grow on top of Mother Hill during the summer nights. No one's really seen it, or at least no one living at the moment, but there are enough myths about it that it's driving Hermione into a frenzy! Too bad it's the wrong month though."

"I'm afraid I don't understand," Tom mused, "a flower?"

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.
