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

212. Chapter 212

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.

"Why look, here he comes right now," the carpenter drawled, a finger pointing in the direction of the bar.

Indeed, a man made his way through the crowds, and upon his approach, Tom realized with a sudden surrealism that he was quite familiar and—oh, who was he kidding?! That was—he swallowed, trying to wet his suddenly hoarse throat. The wine was forgotten and absently stolen by the carpenter.

"Hello," the man greeted somewhat shyly. "I'm Harry Potter… and you must be Tom Riddle. I'll be looking forward to working under you, so please take care of me well."

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.
