This page lists the official path provided by the creator of the Time Lord Victorious series given by James Goss. This timeline is based upon observations of the Doctor Who universe and the events that occur during each of these stories. From these observations we have attempted to build a concise timeline. It is assumed, much like its TV story counterparts that for each novel or audio series their published/numbered order is the order they occur in. This does not apply to short stories which are often ambiguous about their placement. There are also many gaps between stories.

Limiting Factors
The timeline itself is split into three sections. The Time Lord Victorious saga begins in an unrecognisable, and fractured, present day. This is what alerts each Doctor that something is wrong with time. All stories where the main characters have not yet travelled back to the Dark Times, occur in this first section of the timeline.

The second part of the timeline refers to the events after each character has decided to go back to the Dark Times for their own purposes, either to investigate the cause(s) of the fractures, or to exploit the issue in time for their own means. All stories set in the Dark Times, but before a conclusion, must take place here.

The third, and final, part of the timeline is set place in a "universe back to normal", where the history has somewhat healed but fallout remains. Any stories where the main characters inhabit the restored timeline/universe must take place here.

You will note that some stories, such as Canaries, take place twice in the timeline. In this example, Canaries describes the origin of the resurrection of Sibling Different and Sibling Same, but the setting also shows us a museum whose curator collects items from the fractured timeline. For this reason, Canaries takes place early on for Siblings Different and Same, but much later on for the curator of the museum and for the Doctors. It's up to you whether you wish to read this short story twice.
