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

221. Chapter 221

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.

"Are you sure he isn't just… you know… being friendly?" Harry muttered. "I mean, everyone's so nice in this town and…"

Lily laughed. "No, no it's definitely not that! Tom has always been a bit distant; nice… but always politely at arms' length, really. We never really noticed until we saw him with you—he's just… a lot closer."

Welcome back everyone! Here's the 2nd part installment of the Harvest God series. This will focus mostly (if not entirely) on Tom and Harry, so there you have it :P.
