Summary
For the record (and this has got to be said), Gwaine had a pretty normal childhood. Sure, his family was a Wizarding family, and he remembered bits of a past life, but humans can adapt to a great degree.Up until the premeditated murder, at least. [A Weasley SI. Sort of.]
Note
The Weasley family dynamics represent everything that's wrong with my extended family and really, what is fanfiction but a medium in which I explore my family trauma? Basically, the complicated dynamics between, explored as my mental health dies a slow death.[Written in non-linear drabbles.]
