And Mygwainor finishes weaving together her Sauron's soul.

And she blinks herself awake.

"My Elrien," she says, voice choked with emotion, kneeling beside her. 

"My love. You-" The sheer span of memories begins to register.

"What has happened?"

"I was in a time loop," she says, voice thick. "I - I saved your memories at the end of each loop, but I - I couldn't bring you in with me."

Elrien embraces her Melkor, kisses her fiercely.

"You've saved me now."

Desperate kisses! 

"I'm so sorry for all the times I had to leave you - for ever letting you think I was gone."

"The years I have been without you, the years you spent without all of me- We will avenge them."

She laughs. "You haven't changed." Kiss! "Sadly, anyone we could've blamed for the loops is long dead..." Another kiss. "And I'll never begrudge getting to have you in the first place."

Kiss. "Then we take our vengeance on time, by spending it here and now, with you and I."

"A more than agreeable deal." Kiss!

She uses her teeth for this kiss.

Moan.

"Though, mmmmm, there's things I want to tell you, about the years we didn't share - "

But talking interferes with kissing. Tragic.

"Speak, then, and I will explore the rest of this lovely new face you've found." She moves her attentions to her love's neck.

Wiggle!!!

"Ah, my first life with you wasn't, mmmm, my zeroth loop - oh - I was mortal the first life I lived, and I didn't know you - nnnnnn - and it's whoever's acting as Melkor that remembers the loops, and the Melkor of my zeroth life - nnf - put me in that role." Moan. "And gave me you, to make me desperate to end the loops, to keep me from just - mmm - handing off the role of Melkor."

"I am not sure whether I should be praising this being or cursing them."

"I ended up liking him eventually, but I stuck him as Maedhros those first few dozen loops... He was very cruel to me as Melkor, and I wasn't impressed with the trap that kept me from handing off."

"A just punishment." Light nip. "My love is wise."

Giggle squirm! 

"I was Turin my first life, if you want an initial idea of how pissed I was at him."

"Mmm." Slow lick. "Is that why you were always so soft on the boy?"

Moan. "Yes, mmm, and the Melkor before me was mean."

She rakes her nails down her love's sides. "Go on, then."

Wiggle.

"I wanted nothing more than to break the loops - nnf - I really was getting desperate - mmm - and I thought - ah - maybe if I put stress on the timeline in the right place, the right amount - I could force it to contradict itself without shattering and ending the loop early - mmmmmm - but I didn't have good control over the most tightly scripted parts - "

She squirms, pressing into her Elrien.

"After the last loop you remember, I moved you - your template - into a new role. You don't have those memories, because she's a different you - "

"Are you hiding the best parts from me, love?"

"There's no one best part." She leans her forehead against Elrien's and sighs. "And I don't want to - hide anything."

"I put your template into the role of Luthien for - the last few loops before I figured out how to break destiny once and for all - and I wore a hame of Beren's fate for the - relevant parts of those."
