The halls rang with the sound of heavy boots slamming against tile, their owner barreling down the UN office corridor with great, purposeful strides. Passed nations stared after him with looks of puzzlement.
"Oi, Alfred," Arthur shot after him, barely looking up from a stack of paperwork, "What's got your knickers in a twist this time?"
"Not now, Iggy," America called back, waiving dismissively behind him with a gesture that was entirely wasted on England, who hadn't even bothered to look. "I'm in the middle of dealing with an incredibly urgent issue of international importance

With a speed America couldn't begin to dodge, Russia leapt to his feet and had the younger nation by the throat, slamming him back into the top of his desk. Choking, fingers scrabbling at Russia's vise-like grip, Alfred stared up at his assailant with barely contained fear as Russia dragged him even farther along the paper-strewn surface, until his feet no longer reached the floor. Humming along to the strains of piano music still playing in the background, Ivan gently retrieved the book from where it had fallen against America's heaving chest. "Now now, young one. This is not yours." He giggled, the innocence of his child-like voice not matching the unbalanced gleam in his eyes. "Not yours. See?" Flipping open the cover with his thumb, Russia turned the flyleaf to America, indicating the childish scrawl of a name in his own language. "You do not," his fingers tightened in emphasis, "touch things that are not yours. Correct

"The- the bottom of the screen! Where the headlines roll by and they say important stuff like what's on the show and all that!" Alfred grumbles, his arms folding defensively. "They were talking about how it was cold as hell out there in Moscow, but instead of saying that Moscow was in Russia on the bottom of the screen, they said it was in the USSR. So either they're lying or you're lying." The smug look on America's face said he knew perfectly well which one he trusted in. "So HA. You've been caught."
Alfred expected more 'lies', or an angry outburst, or for Russia to break down and praise him for not being fooled so easily, but what he did *not* expect was for the large nation to burst out laughing. "Y-you are saying that your DOG network would not lie to you? Are you telling me for serious?" Light sparkled at the corners of Russia's eyes as he slapped his thighs in mirth, the sound of his guffaws strangely disconcerting.
"It's the FOX network, and yes, I am serious!" He really wanted to stamp his feet in anger

-The charcoal scent in Russia's office is from his samovar, which is a heated metal container that is traditionally used to make tea. -Inside the front cover of the book Russia was reading is a child's scrawl of 'Alexei' in Cyrillic letters. Need I say more? -FOX News and it's networks have been repeatedly accused of putting biased, right-wing slants on the programs and news that is presented on their shows. They've even been accused of outright lying or omitting the truth (And Russia did actually know the correct name of the network... he was just trying to push America's buttons).
I-I hope OP!Anon approves of my humble work, as a first-time filler. *bows*
This is so cute! I like how you wrote Russia - tinged with crazy, but not ridiculous either - and especially how you depicted the way he's spending his free time. Old world and classy in a old-fashioned way, which is totally right.
Thank you so much! I like to think that he's a pretty good combination of both, unless the balance is tipped one way or another. I love me some Russia. ^__^

This was fantastic. I loved everything here, I think Italy's totally chaotic appearances rate high, Germany's unruffled way of dealing with his crazy also rates high, but your Russia takes the cake. Like above anon says, the subtle controlled-crazy you suggested was great. I also loved the way he reacted, both the violent throat-grabbing (yum, all this fic was missing was a little AmeRus, but then, I always believe they get hard under those actionsXD) and the giggles and teasing of AmericaXD
"You do not," his fingers tightened in emphasis, "touch things that are not yours. Correct?"
I don't know if you intended this, but it amuses me greatly how this line gave America his answer about Russia's current political inclinations, since it's the basis of capitalism itselfXD

Nya, thank you! I love playing with characters and trying to get into their heads, and that makes the process ten times more fun. And Russia's just too damn delicious in all of his controlled-insanity glory! (Oh yeah, after writing this one, I've got a hankerin' for some Russian-American lovin' myself, haha)
I did not intend that, no, but now that you point it out... lol. It works perfectly.

Are you telling me for serious?"
THAT was the most hilarious line and this portrayal of Russia (and America but more so Russia) was insanely great have you written more with him as such? If not please do so. :)

Ah! The 'Alexei' reference pulled my heartstrings. Lovely job on Russia, anon - batshit in a completely canon, believable way. "Are you telling me for serious?" = best line ever XDDDD
Yes, America, I know it hurts to hear this, but FOX lies to you. *pats his head* Yeah, those of us in America who aren't complete morons are well aware of their... ah... casual relationship with the truth. >.
Anon wasn't sure if you wanted any sort of pairing in this, so you get a gen fic. :) Hopefully this is okay!
