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

153. Chapter 153

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.

"I know," Tom cut in. "And I can assure you that I'm just as selfish as before, only thinking of myself and what I can gain, but I'd be lying if I said the Harvest God hasn't affected me any."

"Wise words," the carpenter nodded, taking a sip of wine. "But are you prepared to give up your place with Him?"

"Who said I was going to?"

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.
