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

124. Chapter 124

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.

"Well, it's no surprise that you like that type of person. Your interests coincide; what with you being a farmer… it makes sense to like him."

Tom raised a brow. "I don't believe it really matters."

"Maybe not consciously," Rodolphus shrugged, "but I like Bella, and one of the reasons is because the woman knows how to wield a hammer. The fact that she works with metals is why we met."

The farmer rubbed his temples. "Can we not talk about this? I see where you're going."

The man stood. "Fair enough, but have you ever thought about indulging him?"

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.
