Russian Ballet
Title: Russian Ballet (Sherlock Holmes RPF)
Author: notoriginalname
Pairing: Robert/Jude
Summary: Part of the SNL series. Jude is a "ballet dancer."
After years of effort Jude had made it to Lincoln Center. Well actually Vladimir Korchev had made it to Lincoln center as a part of a Russian ballet troupe, but Jude wouldn’t let that small fact take from his satisfaction.
It hadn’t been easy. He had joined the profession later in life than most and had to work ten times harder to keep up. He had spent years in a small troupe without any recognition. His major break had come when he had realized that he was failing because he was English. Everyone admired Russian ballet dancers so Jude changed his name to Vladimir Korchev and joined a small Russian ballet troupe.
Jude had always been straightforward and good at acting so he wasn’t surprised that the all-Russian ballet troupe had accepted him. It was even easier than he had expected. He had simply used the Russian accent he had been practicing and said, “I am Vladimir and I wish to join your troupe. Here is some Wodka.”
Although the Russian dancers had seemed skeptical at first, Jude’s earnestness had won them over. They grew closer though practice and his friends had taken it surprisingly well when Jude had revealed weeks later that he was actually English. They had even helped him to learn Russian and improve his accent.
Now on stage in front of thousands of New Yorkers, Jude is finally accomplishing his dream. The dance is breathtaking and not a single member makes a mistake. Jude is filled with adrenalin and has to fight to keep a serious Russian expression by the end of the performance.
After the show Jude takes the opportunity to bask in the glow of his achievement in his dressing room. His contentment is interrupted by a knock on the door and Jude quickly schools his face into a serious Russian expression.
It is an American man with messy hair. Jude says in his head in a Russian accent. After years of pretending to be Russian, Jude knows that in order to maintain his image he must think like a Russian. He is therefore disappointed to note that the man did not bring Wodka.
“You were great.” The man says with a grin. His smile lights up his face and Jude almost forgets to be Russian.
“I am always great.” Jude says as Vladimir, acting suitably arrogant.
“I expect you are.” The man says eyes crinkling at the corners.
“I am also without Wodka.” Vladimir says to get the man to leave.
“Let me buy you a drink.” The man says and Jude is torn. He really likes the man but he might forget to be Russian, but then again there is no way that he can refuse alcohol as a Russian.
“Buy me a bottle.” Jude says rising from his chair and grabbing his coat.
