Here's an update. Blame my brother for this prompt.

Disclaimer: I don't own Merlin *cries*

Prompt: From [insert brother's name here]: How Excalibur got its name.

Rating: K+

Genre: Parody

Characters: Merlin, Lancelot, immortal knights

Time Frame: During "The Coming of Arthur Part 2" when Merlin and Lancelot are running off to spill the blood in the Cup of Life

Summary: Lancelot asks Merlin what the name of his sword is. Then Merlin sneezes.

Let's Go On An Adventure


The two men darted around the corner only to be met by an immortal knight. Quick as a flash, Merlin cut him down in a shower of sparks.

Lancelot stared at the enchanted weapon in his friend's hands. "Does the sword have a name?"

Merlin hesitated, feeling the blade hum.

"Make one up."

Merlin opened his mouth to speak, but instead he sneezed.

Lancelot raised an eyebrow. "Excalibur? Good name."

Merlin wanted to argue, but more knights were coming. He never got the chance.

Needless to say, that is how Excalibur was named. Merlin was bad at naming things.


Can we appreciate that they never actually name Excalibur in the show? The only reference to its name is the episode title, "Excalibur."

I think Merlin will need some cold medicine or something.

RandomReviewer: I did not even think about that, but it does seem to be a Pendragon thing to smirk.
