#since i'm pretty sure a lot of worlds still hadn't been restored or the paths to them are locked away

Late night KH verse thots because I blame certain PEOPLE BUTTTT--

It’s more or less figuring out how Light wound up in Radiant Garden after so long of being MIA. In my HC, the Dissidia world and the other FF worlds most likely existed in the same universe and my initial thought is that, after the events of Dissidia NT, some of them didn’t even return to their worlds because they had fallen into darkness ( like Squall & Cloud’s for example ) , Light’s world ( the world of Cornelia ) was one of the last to fall, mostly due to the fact that it is protected by the light of the crystals that Light & co. had restored during the events of FFI. 

Eventually though, it too would fall and Light would be thrown into the darkness--but the darkness was never where he belonged and it’s thanks to his crystal , the one that had been bestowed to him by Cosmos in the 13th cycle, was what eventually saved him and pulled him free from the darkness. 

However, it was only just enough to save him, not his home world. 

Because of that , he was left to wander through the rifts of space, protected by the crystal seeing how he did not have access to a gummi ship at the time. Visiting many worlds in the process ( which is how he knows about Olympus Coliseum and the tournaments and all that ) 

KH timeline wise , 7 years would have already passed since his world had fallen and he still would have been trapped during the events of KH1 ( I’m going off of Leon’s age here as a sort of base since Cloud’s age is different from his canon one and here he’s technically younger than Leon ) . After Sora’s defeat of Xehanort’s heartless, Light’s crystal was finally able to gain the strength to free him and thus did his wandering journey begin. 

He wouldn’t appear during the events of KH2 either , so I wanna say he would arrive in Radiant Garden some time between post KH2 and just before DDD & KH3 , which is how he ends up establishing relations ( or reacquainting with ) old and new friends, and becoming the trainer for Lea & Kairi ( again , this is HC, so no Kairi’s and Axel/Lea’s don’t have to follow this ) and he’s for the most part, present in KH3 but he resides within the timeless realm for a majority of it, keeping out of the affairs seeing how there isn’t quite much he can do but has since reforged relations with the restoration committee ( mainly Leon, Cloud & to an extent Tifa due to them having fought together in the cycles )
