-As the Time War did not exist in a linear sense, after what most considered the end with the Doctor relocating Gallifrey to a different universe and wiping out the Daleks, some events still occurred which were described by the Doctor or others as part of the conflict.

+As the Time War did not exist in a linear sense, after what most considered the end with the Doctor either destroying ([[PROSE]]: {{Cs|Doctor Who and the Time War (short story)|Doctor Who and the Time War}}) or relocating Gallifrey to a different universe and wiping out the Daleks, some events still occurred which were described by the Doctor or others as part of the conflict. ([[TV]]: ''[[Rose (TV story)|Rose]]'', ''[[Dalek (TV story)|Dalek]]'', et. al)
 Looking into what they believed to be mere possibilities for the Doctor's future via [[the Matrix]], the Time War-era Time Lords watched some of these events, along with other post-War events involving the Daleks. Electing to treat post-War information as confidential, the data gleamed from these "future projections" was reserved for the eyes of section leaders only. As was noted in the [[Dalek Combat Training Manual]] edition that included these projections, some information about the post-War universe, such as data about the end of the Time War, was redacted from their security level as well.

-Although many incarnations of the Doctor saved Gallifrey, due to the timelines being out of sync, the first eleven would forget this act. This caused the Doctor to reject his war incarnation until the memories of saving Gallifrey caught up with the Eleventh Doctor. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'') After regenerating from his war incarnation, the Ninth Doctor was left with the belief that he had in fact activated the Moment, so, to deal with his guilt, he returned to his mission of helping people in need throughout the universe.

([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|Flatpack (audio story)}})
+Some accounts indicated the destruction of Gallifrey was indeed genuine ([[COMIC]]: {{Cs|Sky Jacks (comic story)|Sky Jacks}}) and that the salvation of Gallifrey was a rewriting of the original course of events.

+Nonetheless according to most accounts, although many incarnations of the Doctor saved Gallifrey, due to the timelines being out of sync, the first eleven would forget this act.

 The Tenth Doctor, as well, believed Gallifrey had been destroyed after he returned to his place in the timeline after its salvation. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'') He remembered Gallifrey's fall as a legitimate destruction, ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Eyeless (novel)|The Eyeless]]'') though his memory was similar to the Eighth Doctor's attempted aversion of the [[War in Heaven]]. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Gallifrey Chronicles (novel)|The Gallifrey Chronicles]], [[The Eyeless (novel)|The Eyeless]]'') [[Book (The Whoniverse)|A historical account]] stated he lived hundreds of years before he learned he was not the last Time Lord. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Whoniverse (novel)|The Whoniverse]]'') The knowledge of Gallifrey's survival brought joy to the Eleventh Doctor, ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'') but the horrors of the Time War were still burned into the Doctor's mind; the [[Twelfth Doctor]] once remarked that he heard "more screams than anyone could ever be able to count" every time he shut his eyes and that the War taught him "no one else" deserved to live through the pain of war. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Zygon Inversion (TV story)|The Zygon Inversion]]'') The war was mentioned by the [[Fifteenth Doctor]] as one of many memories which weighed on the [[Fourteenth Doctor]] when convincing him to go into [[rehabilitation]] on Earth.

 Following the War, the Doctor confided his experiences to a number of his human [[companion]]s such as [[Rose Tyler]], ([[TV]]: ''[[The End of the World (TV story)|The End of the World]]'') [[Jack Harkness]] ([[TV]]: ''[[The Parting of the Ways (TV story)|The Parting of the Ways]]'') [[Martha Jones]], ([[TV]]: ''[[Gridlock (TV story)|Gridlock]]'') [[Clara Oswald]], ([[TV]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]]'') and [[Bill Potts]]. ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Clockwise War (comic story)|The Clockwise War]]'') [[Danny Pink]] recognised the Twelfth Doctor's character as that of a military officer, calling him a man who "[lit] the fire" of war. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Caretaker (TV story)|The Caretaker]]'') In some cases, the Doctor revealed the War or its impact on them to others. ([[TV]]: ''[[Dalek (TV story)|Dalek]]'', ''[[The Zygon Inversion (TV story)|The Zygon Inversion]]'') Rose would use her awareness of the Time War as leverage in an attempt to keep her, [[Mickey Smith]] and [[Rajesh Singh]] alive when facing the [[Cult of Skaro]].

-By [[2009]], the [[Sontaran]] [[General]] [[Staal]] heard of legends which told of the [[War Doctor]] leading battles in the Time War, bitterly noting that the Sontarans were forbidden from participating in the conflict. ([[TV]]: ''[[The Sontaran Stratagem (TV story)|The Sontaran Stratagem]]'') [[Andrea Quill]], a [[Quill (species)|Quill]], was aware of the Time War, and that [[Shoreditch Incident|the destruction]] of the [[Imperial Dalek]] fleet at the hands of the [[Seventh Doctor]] contributed to it. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[In Remembrance (audio story)|In Remembrance]]'') However, [[Time Agent]] Jack Harkness, a native of the [[51st century]] ([[TV]]: ''[[Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang (TV story)|Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang]]'') at first believed the Time War to be a legend before learning the truth from the Doctor.

 Just prior to the destruction of Earth in [[5,000,000,000]], [[Jabe]] of the [[Forest of Cheem]] had believed the Time Lords to be extinct, and was shocked to find the [[Ninth Doctor]] was one. Confiding her discovery with the Doctor, Jabe offered him her condolences. ([[TV]]: ''[[The End of the World (TV story)|The End of the World]]'') The [[Testimony]] later recorded the [[War Doctor]]'s actions during the conflict in its data banks, specifically noting how it earned him the title "the Doctor of War". ([[TV]]: ''[[Twice Upon a Time (TV story)|Twice Upon a Time]]'') When they met the Twelfth and [[First Doctor]]s, they played footage of the War Doctor arranging for Daleks to be shot down, for the [[Advent of Woe]] to be closed, making arrangements against the [[Nightmare Child]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Twice Upon a Time (novelisation)|Twice Upon a Time]]'') and confronting the Dalek drone he pushed back with the Tenth and Eleventh Doctors.

 The [[Encyclopedia Gallifreya]] dealt with the Time Lords now not existing by changing its settings so that all surviving Encyclopaedias auto-updated, each constantly encoding data from their owner and linking with others of their kind. Some Time Lords (who did things like taking over the universe) complained about this causing issues with privacy; the Doctor had forgotten their Encyclopaedia and thus was not really affected. If he had checked with his Encyclopaedia, he would have realised that he was not the only Time Lord left. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Citation Needed (short story)|Citation Needed]]'')
-The "chronological complications" brought about by the War and Gallifrey's apparent destruction resulted in Gallifrey and other artefacts native to its home universe landing within the universe of [[New Eden (The Interstellar Convergence)|New Eden]] for a brief time.

 However, as noted by [[Ohila]], the Time War would remain "the deadliest conflict history will ever know". Her remark was published in a [[Book (The Day of the Doctor)|book]] by [[the Curator]], ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Day of the Doctor (novelisation)|The Day of the Doctor]]'') who, being a future incarnation of the Doctor, ([[COMIC]]: ''[[The Then and the Now (comic story)|The Then and the Now]]'') had lived through the Flux conflict already. Nevertheless, the Sontarans' hope led the [[warrior race]] to embark on a [[Temporal Offensive]] ([[TV]]: ''[[War of the Sontarans (TV story)|War of the Sontarans]]'') and the [[Flux Offensive]].
-The Doctor succeeded in saving the universe from the Flux, though not before it destroyed the assembled [[Dalek War Fleet]] as well as the [[Cyber-Fleet]] and the Sontaran [[fleet]], ([[TV]]: ''[[The Vanquishers (TV story)|The Vanquishers]]'') with [[Dalek Command]] holding the Doctor responsible for their losses. ([[TV]]: ''[[Eve of the Daleks (TV story)|Eve of the Daleks]]'') Recognising their [[hatred]] for her, the Master gained the allegiance of the Daleks and the Cybermen in a [[The Master's Dalek Plan|plot]] to eliminate the Doctor and seize the Earth, with the Daleks now being aware of the Master's ransacking of Gallifrey. This was thwarted by the Doctor, though the confrontation led to both her and the Master being gravely wounded, with the former regenerating into the [[Fourteenth Doctor]].
