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

131. Chapter 131

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.

"Good evening, Tom," Harry greeted as he held the offering in his hands. "And Happy New Years Eve!"

Despite his anxiety, the farmer found himself smiling at the God's clear joy. "Evening," he replied in turn.

Harry frowned. "Not that I'm not glad to see you, but you really should be at Mother Hill, shouldn't you be? That's where the whole town is to watch the fireworks. Didn't anyone invite you?"

He thought about the four women who had approached him. Tom grimaced. "I didn't want to go."

"Oh, but you should've! The view is beautiful from the mountain top!"

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.
