dw100Title: University
Author:merryghoul
Rating: General Audiences
Character: River
Prompt: #487, hibernation
Summary: What River does in her downtime.
River was perfectly honest when she said she wanted to study archaeology because she was looking for a good man. But there was another reason why she wanted to go to university.
Whenever she need a break from her hectic life--battling enemies, protecting her parents, protecting the Doctor's secrets, saving the Doctor from something, and dates with all sorts of people, including the Doctor--there was university. Getting a degree in archaeology at Luna University was a start. But she needed more. She started studying at different universities and in different timelines. It's a cliché, but for River, knowledge is power.
Title: Naughty

Rating: General Audiences
Pairing: Eleventh Doctor/River
Prompt: #434, disappointment
Summary: The Doctor takes his time getting to River; River is not pleased.
It took a while for the Doctor to answer River's phone call to him. As soon as he got it he travelled in his TARDIS to find River in the middle of a jungle planet.
"Took you long enough," River said. "I broke out of Stormcage, defaced this planet's most prominent landmark, and snogged a tribe of people all to get your attention."
"Sorry it took me a while to get here, dear," the Doctor said. He pointed to the TARDIS. "We were distracted."
River stared at the Doctor.
"What'd I say?"
"Anyone else would've said I needed a spanking."
Title: Stealing
Author:merryghoul
Rating: General Audiences
Character: River
Prompt: #009, regeneration
Summary: Three incarnations of Melody Pond, three different views on stealing.
When Melody was younger, she couldn't imagine she would be fond of stealing. All she wanted were her parents, but she couldn't get them to notice her and save her from her tormentors.
When she became Mels, she found her parents and discovered her love of stealing. But she knew it was also a way to get her parents' attention. At least when Amy chided her.
When she became River, she turned her love of stealing into a lucrative career--archaeology. She also used her love of stealing to bond with her parents, taking them on trips in the Doctor's TARDIS.
Title: On the Run
Author:merryghoul
Rating: General Audiences
Pairing: Eleventh Doctor/River
Prompt: #193, insult
Summary: The fallout after River attempts to steal a diamond.
River and the Doctor were running back to the TARDIS, handcuffed together.
"Next time, sweetie," River said, "I'm picking the date."
"Hey, I'm not the one who tried to steal a valuable diamond from a museum," the Doctor said.
"Well, I'm not the one who had his sonic screwdriver taken from him when he tried to point it at the cops!"
"You were the one who was pointing her gun at the cops! I was trying to distract them."
"Right."
"At least the TARDIS will give me a new screwdriver."
River snorted. "You know it's only good for fixing cabinets."
Title: The Sea Devils
Author:merryghoul
Rating: General Audiences
Pairing: Eleventh Doctor/River
Prompt: #264, Third Doctor titles ("The Sea Devils")
Summary: Sea Devils kidnap River, but River can handle them.
The Doctor and River were trying to soothe over a conflict with Sea Devils when another group of Sea Devils ambushed the two of them. They kidnapped River, dragging her to an underwater base. Meanwhile, the Doctor was forced to stay behind; the Sea Devils had drawn weapons on him.
The Doctor was able to get away from the Sea Devils. He used the TARDIS to get to the underwater base. By the time he arrived, though, River had killed all the Sea Devils with her blaster. She smiled at the Doctor. "What took you so long, sweetie?" she said.
