Loki parks in Doriath for another six years. She manages to make friends with some of the people who have things to do in accelerated perception. The Men who started as babies are full grown. The spell comes along and she refreshes everyone serving as a sorcery backup on a routine basis. She visits people between stints of work; during same she does things that she doesn't have to move around much to do. Writes a memoir. Screws around with decorative illusions. Sleeps, when absolutely necessary.
She's asleep when the quake hits. But not for very long.

"Oh, it gets better," Loki says. "It gets way better."
And she launches back into the story: Elves are concerned that she has suddenly changed color, she complains about her height and lack of ice powers at them, the narrative resumes.
There's a second Balrog and once its blast radius is clear it gets iced in the face.

Oh good. Maitimo was so right.
And that bad guy who tipped her off about the second Balrog, dropping hints that he had Vár - well, she's going to duel the shit out of him now after a brief cutscene where she spars with Huan.
"- and for a few years after that he couldn't assume a physical form without shattering into ice crystals."

"Ha!" crows Thor, scooping Loki into another triumphant hug. "A just reward for troubling my sister so!"

Loki beams and hugs back and resumes story.
Here's the part where she adopts Men - "they're pretty much exactly like Midgardians without the soul animals, only these ones appeared as adults with a language and not much else" - and moves some Elf helpers in and teaches them some things and looks after them, and Sauron the Perpetually Shattering keeps trying to throw her off by various proxy, orcs, baby orcs, Thuringwethil -
- and the projected date by which he should no longer shatter approaches and she moves all her Men into this city one of the maudlin gay Elves made with Dwarf help (Dwarves: they're great) -
and she learns to teleport, just in time.
The fight is spectacular.

Thor cheers so much for this fight. She is very enthusiastic about Loki killing Sauron. Loki killing Sauron is extremely good and important.

And now Sauron's dead!
And some more stuff happens and THEN THEY NUKE ANGBAND.

"Yes it did! Although we could have done it sooner if I'd only had better retention of the contents of my physics books!"
And nuking Angband has some scary results (and a maudlin gay Elf hug) and she has to teleport some cities around and the Silmarils are suddenly important and there is Elf politics over them with Doriath (fuck you Elu Thingol her sister gets to see Doriath) and Loki works a whole fuck of a lot on the next piece of her spell and teaches what she's got to an Elf and there's a time stop and an evacuation for everyone who wasn't fenced out of the only safe place -
- finally the story is over.
Morgoth is dead.
Loki smiles at the Tesseract. "And I fixed their stupid cylindrical planet while I was at it, and found empty worlds to put orcs and the Noldor on."

"You think? I did sort of drop my matronymic and not pick it up again somewhere in there, I like 'Godslayer' just fine as a replacement."

"I want to hug Sigyn too, you know," Loki says after a few minutes.
