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

191. Chapter 191

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.

While Fall passed away, and consequently the animal competitions as well, Tom allowed himself time to plan how he was going to go about the Starry Night Festival in winter… next to his daily routine, of course. He had figured from last year that no one took the Starry Night Festival lightly; it was the ultimate romantic holiday if one performed it as such. Apparently.

He still shuddered at the thought of Bellatrix's attempts to make him invite her.

Last year, of course, he hadn't done any such thing as putting intimate affections towards the day. But now…

Tom sighed.

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.
