the first time river regenerates is under the care of jack, which is good because he has the (rare) necessary experience of knowing how to help someone who died a little and got better and bad because he now has to figure out a way to explain to amy pond why her daughter is now a completely different child without dying himself.

#jack: do you think if we put you in a wig that might help?#little river: (whose height age skin tone gender- have all changed) yeah probably :)#jack did not intend to take her weevil hunting these things just happen around him. and she’s fine. she’s *fine*.#he’s not this was an incredibly stressful situation for him because none of them knew river *could* regenerate until she just did.#but he can handle it. he’s not having flashbacks to everyone he’s ever tried to protect dying in his arms. he is *not* thinking about the #seconds before river started glowing where she looked so so scared and he couldnt do anything.#hey do you think regeneration energy burns human flesh. asking for a friend. that friend is captain jack harkness. who did not stop hugging #river even while she regenerated.#oh goddamnit i made myself sad about this now #what can i say jack deserves to be traumatized and river deserves to have a family. and also be traumatized.
