This is my favorite thing I have read in awhile concerning the year that never was, in fact it is quite possibly my favorite thing I have read in awhile over all.
Personally, I was not appalled at the behavior of the Doctor towards Jack, I rather enjoy the glimpse into his darker side. We as fans know it is there, it simply has to be given all that he has seen and done. It is the reason he is such a match for the Master, if he were to be completely insanely and maniacally evil he might even rival the Master.
You seem to have got it just right, the feeling of isolation that Jack would have all over again, the worrying if the Doctor and Martha would even attempt to save him, to find him.
Pardon the language, but I love the mindfucking. It has shades of Adam in it which was one of my favorite bits of Torcwhood this year, and Saxon would definitely use that to his advantage, gaining perverse pleasure out of torturing Jack like that.
