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

126. Chapter 126

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.

"Hm? What's wrong, Tom? You seem… down these days," Harry asked, the winter cold not bothering him as he sat in the snow.

Tom sulked. Well, honesty was the best policy, if only because he was talking to the Harvest God. "…I realize that I have been…" he swallowed, "inconsiderate… to… you."

"Huh?"

"Would you like me to do something for you, Harry?" asked Tom quietly.

The God smiled softly. "You already are, just by summoning me every day. Don't feel bad, Tom—I assure you, you're doing more than enough. Frankly, I can't believe you're still here with me."

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.
