Bandofthec0ck
Judeau knows all about having unrequited feelings for someone, but he suddenly goes into crisis mode when he realizes his new love interest is actually very requited. This is one of those classic tales about a humble guy who thinks it's too good to be true when a pretty girl likes him.
This takes place at some vague point in the Golden Age arc, before Guts leaves the band. I love Judeau, his ending broke my heart into a million pieces, so I am healing my pain by writing a story where a nice girl shows up and boinks the hell outta him. This is 100% self-indulgent sappy nonsense.
I originally wanted this story to be a bit more grounded and serious, but it quickly devolved into a cheesy, wholesome romantic comedy. I can't help it - I just want Judeau to be happy. He's the best. In this fic, good things happen to him and everyone is nice to him, because that's what he deserves. This is also the first time I've ever written fan fiction. Deadass. In all my long long years of consuming various media, Berserk is the first IP that inspired me to write fanfic. If people like this one, I might venture out and create more! But even if this is a flop and nobody reads it, I'm still happy knowing that I created a tiny alternate universe where my man Judeau is thriving.
Side note: I originally referred to their group as "the Band of the Hawk" while I was writing this, but then I saw a bunch of people talking online about how the correct translation is actually Band of the Falcon, so I changed it. I'm still not 100% sure which is right, but whatever I guess. Also, there's probably a fair number of weird anachronisms that don't fit with the medieval fantasy time period, (like the word "girlfriend," nobody is calling anyone their "girlfriend" in Berserk, right?), but hopefully you can look past that and just have fun with it.
