Do you have any idea...any IDEA at all that you've transported me back to my childhood after reading the lines from the movie in this chapter? I watched this movie SO much when I was a kid, I had the script memorized.

Okay...ramble over. I have to read more. Must read more. I'll review more in a bit when I'm over my nostalgia-fit.

Yeesh, I'm so excited to see how you are going to change this. Back to it...

I love the bit of Eternian culture (“only men who could do nothing else were designated as cooks”) and a hint that Mothers blending into Eternian culture may not have been entirely smooth. Not that social justice was a topic the series avoided (far from it) they just never used this particular one. On one hand cooking could help distinguish Adam from He-Man, whom no one would expect such a thing. Of course in the original series (as opposed to the ‘others’) Adam was still capable, especially diplomatically and intellectually, so there was indeed stereotype breaking here. Good job. I wish you had used a word other than “crèche”, apparently it is French for day care. I am pretty sure you meant “class” or “caste” but it was a stumbling point.

Good recap of the first few minutes of the movie! I’ve always thought that Adam must really like being on Etheria. No one had any expectations of him, he can be himself. I’ve also wondered if people even realized he was a prince (prior to the Christmas Special, that is.)

Great story! Excellent points. I loved searching for the slight differences you blended in (this point applies to ALL chapters). Thank you for sharing.

WOW! I really like this concept. I've read a number of stories or posts that pointed out that Adora would be a better match for Adam that Teela (who was good in the original series, 2002 ... not so much)

You do write very well. When I first noticed this (been a while since I remembered to change rating to ALL and check, instead of accepting the default of K ->T) I thought that 39,707 words would be long, but after skimming through it I now wish there were more.

Great idea, awesome story. More specific feedback later.

The characters and stories of He-Man and She-Ra are ones that I have always loved, but at the same time I can accept and appreciate this version as well. I won't let go of the other version, but one of the things that had always disturbed me was that though they each had love interests, none of those were actually worthy of them. In my head I think of the original characters finding eventual partners and eventually living on Eternia. At the same time I will enjoy this crafting for the great adaptation that this story you've created truly is.
Thank you

GREAT CHAPTER! While some people may disagree with the twins' and their battle partners killing, I think it adds to the mature, darker version that 'For the Honour of Love' is. I also like that you're not dragging the story out - this chapter held everything it needed to cut Adora's ties to the Horde. Can't wait for the next chapter!

Well, that sure was a pretty epic battle. The closeness of He-Man and She-Ra shined through as they fought off Shadow Weaver, Hordak, and the rest of the Horde. With the next chapter or so looking to be the big finale, the wedding and aftermath should be fun. Hope to see you continue on.

Definitely an exciting battle. With this being the possible big finish of the SotS story, will He-Man and She-Ra part ways or will the Horde be finished for good? Since Etheria's natural magical tendencies seem to be better for She-Ra, it may be a tough decision.

I still like the chemistry and connection that Adora and Adam have. It feels natural. While Adora has full intention to go back to Eternia, we'll see if her decision changes after seeing the struggle the people of Etheria are experiencing under Hordak. It'll be interesting to see how things play out from here.

I thought that the scene between Adam and Adora was very tasteful, yet suited for their passion. You portrayed Adora's baggage and lingering emotional problems well. Their relationship feels natural. It will be interesting how things go with their parents and what the future will hold for He-Man and She-Ra.

It was interesting to see the more monarchial aspect of Eternia and here more about the daily happenings around the castle. I'm sure Adora is overwhelmed with everything that is going on, with only recently discovering the truth, finding Adam, and becoming She-Ra. Adam and Adora's closeness was nicely shown here.

With the introduction of Serteina and the impending union between the two kingdoms, it will be interesting to see how things will change and if Hordak and Skeletor will play a role in any of this.

*standing ovation* Well done on this chapter, very well written as it's always difficult to write scenes like that. I'm glad (without giving anything away) that you chose the classy option instead of a rough'n'tumble (not that there's anything wrong with that). I admit, I'm curious about Adam's parents' reaction but hope that in the upcoming chapters you spend more time with Adam/Adora than Adora and her parents. Forgive me, I'm just loving a story that has an outcome like this! Yay, next chapter please =)

WAHOO!! Thanks for bringing on this chapter, how fabulous! Yes, this is how Secret of the Sword should've gone and I'm so very curious to see how you continue the story. Will Adora decide to stay like in the end of the movie, or will you include a battle to drive off the Horde so the Prince and Princess can fly off into the sunset? Ahh, fabulous job...chapter 10 please!

This is the way that scene should've gone...not twin brother, soulmate!! Yay! CRUNCH TIME! Yeeha, now we get to the good bits...so don't make us wait! Bring on chapter 8! Thank you =)

Hmm, so Adam's an experienced ladies man? Alright, it's your alternate version and if it gets Adam and Adora together then I can live with that. It just keeps getting better (and I always thought He Man's tone gave him away when he approached Adora in the Fright Zone), onto chapter 7!

"He wondered how he could have paired up with a group of misfits that were no more dangerous than a bunch of bumbling children."

How true, a very keen observation that the Rebellion had absolutely no idea what they were doing before Adora came in to kick @$$, yeah! Might I make one tiny suggestion? It's Hordak, not Hordac (sorry, I'm a stickler for spelling). Otherwise, good pace and the story's flowing well - can't wait to come to revelation! Well done, more please =)
