Cousins (Merry)
"He needed them"
One was younger, and one was older, and a third was not technically family but after everything they went through together he may as well have been. Being a Hobbit, he naturally had a large family, and after the Scouring it seemed that everyone wanted to find some family connection to the Tooks or the Brandybucks (and to a lesser extent the Gamgees and the Bagginses). But when it came down to it, there were only two (three if you counted their other adventuring companion) that he really, truly cared for. They'd been there for him, and he needed them.
Exactly 100 words. Thanks to Aria Breuer for this one. More prompts are very welcome (please use the form Theme, Character, "Prompt" e.g. Cousins, Merry, "He needed them"). No OCs or anime-filler characters, please, but any other character, however obscure, is welcome.
Oh yeah, if anyone's interested I'm now accepting fic requests. More details are on my profile.
