It's all AU.

The Doctor was sitting on a park bench, eating ice cream and taking in. Everything. He was starting to get a handle on how to regulate the energy he'd stored up from Jack, and he was mentally fairly well settled. Everything felt crisp, but not sharp. And he was calm.

It was amazing. A temporary solution to his issues, but an aid he was going to damn well use while he had access to it. Like giving medication to a PTSD patient, while they got going on long term therapy.

He was flat on his back under a tree, looking up at the sky through the leaves. He was also chewing gum and blowing bubbles. The bigger, the better.
