-->'''Merlin''': A locked heart refuses all connections. Traps the heart's ability to fully express any feelings or beliefs it contains. And without a steady source of light or darkness to give it strength, a heart can only wither. Worlds have survived far longer amounts of time in that state- some even lock themselves into dreams for protection, when the darkness becomes too much to bear. It's not as terribly unusual as one would think. But the heart of a person-\\
'''Archimedes''': The heart of a person has fewer connections to start with. Locked, they can't survive. Can't thrive.

''Filtered Light'' is an ongoing ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' ElsewhereFic, written by aeskah and published on ''Website/ArchiveOfOurOwn''.
The story, set during the events of ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsI'', follows Sora's mother Nova as she escapes from the Destiny Islands during the Heartless invasion with the help of Selphie and a home-built Gummi Ship.
!! This story provides examples of:
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Several Organization XIII members appear in the Empire scenes (namely Demyx, Zexion and Xigbar), as does Pete.
* AlternateUniverse: While the story is canon compliant to the original game and tagged as such, the fact that Selphie appears in ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsII'' with no indication of remembering what happened to the Islands suggests a canon divergence.
* ElsewhereFic: The first chapter opens on Nova's sole line from the video games - "Sora, dinner's ready. Come on down. Sora?" - before following her reactions to Sora's disappearance and the beginning of the Heartless invasion.
* FryingPanOfDoom: Nova's initial attempt to fight off the Heartless in her home. It doesn't do a lot, but it does keep her alive long enough to find Selphie.
* GadgeteerGenius: Between them, Selphie and Zell managed to build a working Gummi Ship out of a few blocks that had fallen in a meteor shower years earlier. Even Selphie had no expectation of getting it to fly.
* MamaBear: Nova.
* MissedHimByThatMuch: Nova and Selphie's visit to Wonderland apparently coincides with Sora's, to the point of Nova witnessing Sora's battle with the Trickmaster from outside the room, but she misses her chance to reunite with him.
* MysteriousParent: The story makes it clear as early as the first chapter that Nova has some familiarity with TheHeartless and the world outside the Islands, as well as some kind of training in her past, but the details are only gradually revealed to Selphie or the reader.
* NamedByTheAdaptation: Nova, as Sora's mother was never named or indeed seen in canon.
* RapidFireNo: Nova's (mental) reaction when the Heartless appear.
* RelatedInTheAdaptation: Selphie's brother is based on Zell Dincht from ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII''.
* RoadTripPlot: After Nova and Selphie escape the islands, they travel to several other worlds, including Wonderland, [[WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewGroove the Empire of the Sun]], and Traverse Town.
* SceneryGorn: The story describes the destruction of the Destiny Islands in harrowing detail, including an early appearance of a Demon Tower.
* WhipItGood: As in the game, Selphie uses her jump rope this way.
