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

211. Chapter 211

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 thought that was a load of horse shit. "And you didn't choose to mention this to me, the person who's supposedly going to take this kid in?"

"He most definitely isn't a child," the carpenter decided to point out. "And we're rather sure that you won't be complaining for long."

"Oh? Do humor me," Tom scowled, accepting a glass of wine from a passing Lily Evans.

"He'll be living at the inn, so it won't be too much of an intrusion," Dumbledore cheerfully added. "And he's already had some experience… just needs a wider range of work and environment."

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.
