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

115. Chapter 115

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.

Harry hummed, aware of the dilemma his charge was saddled with. "Come with me," he motioned, and they left the Harvest Pond.

Instead, they moved to the lake at the foot of Mother Hill, now completely covered in ice. "It's safe to walk on now. In the middle of the lake there's a mine with many expensive jewels that you can sell for a lot. That should keep you just fine throughout winter."

Tom blinked doubtfully. "…That easily?"

"You'll find out when you try it," Harry waved flippantly. "It's a very desirable spot in this town. Don't underestimate it, okay?"

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.
