Fics like if I'm on fire, you'll be made of ashes too

Severus' life is at rock bottom. Having dropped out of Hogwarts before even receiving his OWLs results, the only work he can find is a dead-end job at Borgin and Burkes. Desperate, hurting and all alone, Severus struggles in poverty, saving every Knut he can while dreaming of a better life. Then one day, he catches the attention of a mysterious, handsome customer who enters the shop.
