Man, Iris is so useless. Also, Barry needs to get over the whole pining-for-15-years thing.
Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

Has there only been one female meta? And only two other maybe good metas?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
you HAD TO give Ray a dead fiancee?
I get enough creepy vibes off of Ray to think that he could be lying about this.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I complained to John Rogers about conflating the sword in the stone with Excalibur, and assures me a) he knows b) most people don't care.
I CARE, JOHN, I CARE.

So the sword extracted from the stone is different from the sword that is distributed by watery tarts lying in ponds?

I think Excalibur itself originally came from the lake, and it was returned to her. I don't remember the origin of the sword in the stone.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I thought both were called Excalibur? As in, that is the name of Arthur's sword, no matter the origin.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
If you get a chance, ask John Rogers why Excalibur had to die. Seriously, that was irritating and pointless. Poor Cal. Also, melting away, wtf? Also also, have you mentioned to John Rogers my enduring crush on him? No? Ah, probably just as well.

Wasn't the sword in the stone just a sword that Merlin stuck there with a spell to stay put until drawn by the future King of England?
