I agree -- I thought the introduction of Excalibur was a major anticlimax. However, I'd like to see what they do with it in the future.

I like this. I love the idea that Arthur and the sword are somehow bound, and that he'll find it again. Plus, you know, well-written and all that. I enjoyed it.

I really wanted a 'sword in the stone' moment for this ep, but had to make do with Gwen's dad and a dragon breaking wind on the thing :/ I am hopeful that there will be a kick-ass episode down the line with the whole Lady in the Lake deal.

Thank you so much for you comments on the drabble. I'm really please you liked it :)

Ooh, that was really cool. Love the mystical connection between Arthur and his destined sword.

Thank you so much. I'm hoping we see a bit of a mystical Arthir/Excalibur interaction in future episodes :)

Lovely! Especially this:

It thrums in the back of his throat, his chest, his soul

I love that Arthur can hear the sword calling, and answers without words.

Gwen found it under her bed? These episodes really must cry out for fanfic.

(sorry about the icon - I just couldn't help myself)

First of all, LMAO & guh! at the icon! Brilliant work *g*

Secondly, I'm glad you liked it, love!

And you know how I said turn off thinky brain while watching? Well, what I should have said is keep fic-thinky part active, because there is a ton of room for development with most of these eps.

a song in steel -- lovely image

At the window, he sees Uther fighting below, and for a moment Arthur thinks he wields fire. Then he sees. It is naught but a sword, naught but a sword.

Gorgeous. I hate to lose you to this new fandom, but when you write like this, gotta let you fly.

I love your beautiful excalibur icon!

Thank you so much, hun! I'm really pleased that you took time to read and comment, and enjoyed the drabble.

I don't think I've completely given up on Pirates fandom - I'm still trying to keep up with reading, but don't have the fic bunnies myself at the moment. However given that I'm still 100% a JD fangirl, I don't think I'll ever lose my love for Jack or the movies. Also, who knows what inspiration will strike when Number 4 comes out :)

I'm glad you like the icon too! :)

OH! I love the descriptions you've used to describe Arthur being drawn to the sword, absolutely fantastic.

Thank you so much! :D
