The Doctor has a lot going on inside his head. Too much to really tackle here (Stephen's issues are more than enough for one fic!). This is one of the areas where it takes some knowledge of DW canon to get the whole picture, though I hope non-Who-fan readers at least picked up a general idea.
Stephen's fixation on peaches in the CiN special should make more sense now! And, yeah, during all the horror and devastation of that year, he was at (mostly) aware that it Should Not Have Been Happening. (You're right that everyone - except for a select handful, including Martha, the Doctor, and Jack - forgot the events of that year when it was erased from the timeline.)
Believe me, there is no better feedback to receive than thoughtful feedback. Thank you!
