Summary: Once upon a time, the son of a self-righteous corporate manager fell in love with a carefree, fun-loving young warlock, and his smile was a question he wanted to spend his whole life answering. Merlin is a shy café waiter who cares too much, taking pleasure from the small things in life, and Arthur works two part-time jobs after being kicked out onto the streets by his homophobic father. All he wants to do is piece other people's lives back together as he can't fix his own. All Merlin wants to do is find his true destiny, but everything changes after he and Arthur unexpectedly cross paths. Inspired by Amélie.
“Merlin would have stopped to smile at him in response, but the tears just kept coming. The blonde’s words echoed endlessly in his ears, as they would for days and days to come: ‘there’s still so much to live for’.”
