Gallifrey is the planet's name. It doesn't mean "lord over time", and as for being from Earth...

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG! I wish this was a series! It was sooooo perfect!

Cool!

Gallifrey is most definitely not an Earth word, and it doesn't mean "Lord over time", it's the name of the planet. It's inhabitants are actually called Gallifreyans.

To believe this, you have to ignore everything we've ever been told about Gallifrey.

Wow just wow

Do you know when we first saw Gallifrey? 1969.

Very Clever, would love to see this as a full story with multiple chapters, but I understand not everyone has the time or interest to do that. still a great concept

In order for this to make sense you have to ignore everything about Gallifrey since 1969.

You just broke my brain! Oh my goodness! I think this is one of the greatest ideas I've ever seen! Head canon totally accepted! I will be sending this fic around! Thank you soooo much for writing this! I don't even know what else to say, besides WOW! :D

Gallifrey and the Time Lords first appeared in 1969. Rassilon and Omega were first mentioned in 1973. If you ignore everything we've been told since, yes, this makes sense.

My mind just exploded slightly. Wow. You thought of this? Wow. (And the thing is- it could be true...)

Nifty idea. Awesome twist at the end!

All of the Doctor Who characters named here predate Ender's Game.

Makes sense. If you completely ignore every we've been told about Gallifrey, that is.
