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

123. Chapter 123

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.

"Have you considered giving he or she jewelry?" Rodolphus suggested casually.

Tom paused for a second in disbelief that his companion was actually trying to give him love advice. "He doesn't like jewelry," the farmer found himself replying.

"So it's a male," Rodolphus nodded to himself. "What does he like then? Something practical, like tools?"

Tom couldn't help but snorting. Like the Harvest God actually needed tools! "Food," he said, "He likes food, and more of the type that comes out of the ground than out of a kitchen."

An understanding smile flickered across the Lestrange's face. "Hmm… I see."

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.
