Prompt: River Song is jealous of the Doctor and Clara's relationship so she devises a plan to get rid of Clara. Sent in by Clarawhoo. Enjoy!
*******
River stood by as she watched the man that she loved kiss another woman. And love another woman. And be happy with another woman. She wanted to walk up to the Doctor and just ask him why. Why did he love Clara even though he was married to River? What did Clara have that she didn't? After all, River could regenerate and keep living...well actually not anymore. But she would live a hell of a lot longer than Oswald over there, so why Clara?
"Clara, what would you like to see today? We have to show River something extraordinary," the Doctor said, smiling as he held Clara's hand and they walked over to where River was standing. River wanted to slap him. She was literally RIGHT THERE. He could've waited until she wasn't there or something.
"Um...I dunno. Just show her the stars. Worked on me," she said smiling. River couldn't exactly be mad at Clara since she didn't really know they were married (well she did, but not to what extent their relationship had gone. As far as Clara was concerned, they got married to save the universe.) River was reasonable and so most of her anger was planted towards the Doctor. But in order to hit the Doctor where it would hurt the most she would have to get rid of Clara.
"How about we go to somewhere exciting. Like Juklo! Oh Clara I think you'd like it; they have these creatures there that literally look like tree branches and such. A bit of a dangerous race, but that'll make it fun," River said. She had gone there a few years back and knew exactly just how dangerous it really was.
The Doctor nodded and set in the coordinates, and off they went, hurtling through the Time Vortex.
When they landed Clara asked, "Why wasn't there one of those whoosh noises when we landed?"
"He always leaves the brakes on," River laughed, earning a giggle from Clara.
"I like the noise!" he said, defending himself.
The three bounced out of the TARDIS, River pretending to be more cheerful than she really was. She was going to spoon feed a couple of lies to the Juklons about Clara and let them do the rest. It seemed simple enough.

Clara was now tied to a chair in the middle of some sort of city square, and she was desperately yelling for the Doctor. But he was no where to be seen and she was all alone. She tried to untie the ropes once more; they wouldn't budge. Where was the Doctor?
"DOCTOR!" Clara shouted over and over again, but he still wasn't coming.
"CLARA?!" she heard a shout reply, followed by the buzzing of his sonic screwdriver.
"Oh thank god, I'd thought you left or something," Clara said when he approached her. He soniced the rope (apparently that was a thing?) and she was free. She wanted to hug him, but there wasn't any time. He grabbed her hand and River's as they ran away and back into the safety of the TARDIS.

After a long shower, Clara finally emerged from her room, clean. She felt much better after her shower, and was walking into the console room when she heard arguing: "I know you liked to the Jukons for a reason, River."
"I did not! They just didn't like her for some reason!" River shot back.
"Really? So they just thought that she was the one who had been stealing all of their supplies for three years? Where, may I ask, did they come up with that theory?" he asked, relatively calm in Clara's opinion.
"I. Don't. Know."
"Bullshit. Yes you do, because you told them that. You're jealous! So you tried to get rid of her, am I right?" Clara heard the Doctor say. But Clara couldn't believe River would do that. They had been getting along fine.
"Well maybe you shouldn't parade her around in front of me! I know you love her and all, but save it for when I'm not around. I just so happen to be your wife, and while you may not love me anymore, I still love you." So it was true. Clara cursed under her breath.
It was then that Clara decided to intervene. Three slaps later, River stormed put of the TARDIS and Clara slapped him again.
"What the hell was that one for?" he half-yelled at her.
"I thought you said you got divorced!"
"Whoops." Another slap. The Doctor knew that he deserved them, but he still hated being slapped.
"I love you, not her. And I didn't want you to stay away from me because of River and I being married, so...I lied. Sorry. Wasn't right."
Clara kissed him, just because she could. She knew that the Doctor had meant well, so she left it alone. And River faded on Trenzalore, but that's a story for a different time. All that mattered was that Clara and the Doctor were happy once more.
