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

195. Chapter 195

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.

Instead of bringing him back to his house on the farm, Tom brought Harry to the beach. Strange, because it was winter after all and the air was freezing—but neither of them really minded, and the God seemed to be in a cheerful mood tonight.

His teasing was proof enough. "Hmm, so I don't get a fancy dinner?"

Tom smiled despite himself, watching as Harry eagerly ran forward to the water's edge so his feet flirted with the incoming tide. He twirled, white robes spinning fluidly to meet the spray of the sea.

"Would you prefer it?" asked Tom.

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.
