This was just utterly amazing and exactly what I had in my head for what happened and why Jack stayed. I'm so glad you wrote this.
I think the reason I was so utterly disenchanted by the finale was that Jack never got an apology from the Doctor. Just some hint that he'd understood what Jack had been through and was mildly upset about it would have been nice. I know he was going through the whole last of the species angst thing again but still. Some kind of recognition would have been nice.
Or maybe I just love Jack too much to be objective about the whole thing :)
Anyway great fic - heartbreaking but with little lovely cheery bits, I'm adopting this as my canon :)
