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

149. Chapter 149

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.

Tom sighed. "So you're saying I'm stuck…?"

"You don't have to look like their affections are unnecessary heavy weights," Harry said softly, and received a harsh glare for his efforts. The God tried again. "I mean, the only zealous one is, from what you've told me, Bellatrix—"

"I would like to move about in town without the unrequited affections of five women," Tom stated. He would not be moved. "I do not care for any of them outside the realm of townspeople. There'd simply be no point in giving them a sliver of a chance."

Harry sighed. "I understand."

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.
