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

169. Chapter 169

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.

"The carpenter seems to have a better view of him than you do," Tom observed.

Lucius inclined his head. "They're all imbeciles, I assure you. Gellert sees too much good in the people who love, doubtlessly because of Albus' influence. It's only because Gellert was lucky enough to lose it all and regain everything back that he does. Nevertheless, the discord between our God's followers is present. If you wish to bring back our God to this miserable place, get past Charlus."

Tom filed it away for later. But right now… "Did the Harvest God take any action throughout this?"

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.
