Thor and Loki were taken to the healing rooms after the Holmgang for treatment. Loki suffered a concussion, a broken cheekbone, a detached retina, several broken ribs, a ruptured spleen, and even sprained his jaw. Thor had a broken nose, a two broken ribs, and a sprained shoulder.

"It's about time somebody uglied you up." Loki chuckled as the healers all bustled around them for potions and bandages.

"Look who's talking. You look like an overstuff burlap sack of black beans." Thor said. Loki laughed louder. It was over and he was much relieved. It was far from a perfect victory. Of course many complained about Luka and Thor fighting on Loki's behalf. Some nitpicked about Luka using her hair band as a slingshot. A few even complained that Loki used his teeth, which some saw as against the rules. It was true that every rule for Holmgang had been bent to their favor, and that it would be a point of contention among Asgard's warriors for years to come. However, the royal family could handle a minor amount of complaint. They'd rather have that than let Loki die. He was still here.

If there was one thing Loki had learnt in recent days, it was that there were some people that would never approve of him no matter what form he took. There would always be bigots in Asgard's court, and there would always be assholes in Asgard's ranks. He would never please them all and in trying to he'd made himself desperately miserable. Loki looked at Thor and saw what really mattered.

"I'm very happy for you and Luka." He meant it.

"I love you brother." Thor said.

"I love you too."

"Loki, did you ever desire me, before?"

"Yes."

"What about now?"

"Luka desires you. I…remember desiring you."

"I feel like the Norns have blessed me by your accident. I still have my brother and now I'll have a wife. There was a time Loki, when I dreamed that you had magical powers to get pregnant and that somehow we could wed. I wish our parents had told the truth from the beginning."

"They had their reasons. I see that now." Loki said. "Make her happy Thor. She loves you like a second skin."

"I thought you were her second skin." Thor said.

"I suppose I am. You have treated her far better than I."

"Then you are due to make amends."

"Yes, long overdue."

That night there was no feast in the great hall. Though the royal family had been victorious, it would have been in poor taste to rub it in the face of the families that lost their loved ones. Loki invited Luka to his room for a private dinner.

"Your room looks so bare without all the little trinkets I took. It's more masculine too." She said.

"It definitely smells like a man's chambers. I find I'm not as tidy as I used to be. All the things I used to berate Thor for like dumping his muddy boots and armor on the floor in the middle of the room; I do that now too."

"And you belch and fart and drink far too much ale. And then you have some bar wench suck your dick under the table." Luka giggled.

"No, I haven't gotten that bad yet." Loki chuckled. He pulled out the chair for her so she could sit. The meal had all of their favorite foods and only their favorite foods. They served themselves what they wanted smiling at each other with fondness.

"You really are beautiful Luka. Far more attractive than I used to be."

"That's not true. We used to be beautiful. I always thought so."

"We were of two minds even then." Loki said. "If father ever does find a way to put us back together, would you want to?"

"Yes. I miss being able to pee standing up." Both of them got a good laugh at that.

"I miss my magic."

"I couldn't imagine living without it as you have. Has it been hard?"

"Yes. I was lucky to be blessed with larger muscles. I had to become a better fighter to counterbalance the loss."

"I've learned so many new skills that we always wanted to learn but didn't because we didn't want to be laughed at."

"Yes your piano playing is beautiful and your new female voice is very pretty. It is much better than mine."

"It's true you can't hit the high notes like I can but it's not a bad singing voice." She said. "I've also learned how to sew and knit. Mother has been teaching me the loom too."

"The loom? Really?! What have you seen?" Loki was so excited and jealous.

"Oh come on! You know I can't tell you." Luka said and Loki rolled his eyes in frustration. He'd always wanted to sit with their mother and learn the art but the loom was a woman's tool.

"You know at first, I thought I got the better end of the deal. I see know how wrong I was. I miss you. I feel so empty inside."

"I feel it too. There is this big hole inside of me. I feel like half a person."

"You have a big hole inside you eh?"

"Oh…" Luka rolled her eyes at the easy cheesy double entendre. "Your sense of humor has definitely suffered!"

"I'm just saying, you are to be married soon and there is a man in this palace that would love to fill that hole for you."

"He already has." Luka laughed.

"How was it?" Loki asked, both with a smile, but also with that deep longing that Luka knew so well.

"It was everything we dreamed and more." She said simply. "He worships my body like a temple. He's strong and generous and so damn loving." She said. There was a moment of quiet and her heart ached at the silence in Loki's face.

"What about you? Have you had any luck in love?"

"Well, you can never tell anyone. I mean it. Not even Thor."

"I make no promises."

"Sif and I had a turn in the sheets."

"What? Sif? How was she? Did she use whips and chains on you? Oh wait, I bet she had a strap on!"

"No, no. Nothing like that. Sif was a very good lover, if only for a night."

"Do you think it could be more?"

"I don't think so. We are friends and I get the sense that she likes her independence far too much to ever settle down and have children."

"Norns…children. I hadn't even considered that, except maybe as a half-formed thought ghosting around in the back of my mind."

"Do you want children?"

"Oh yes of course…I just have to... birth…them."

"Ah. Better you than me." He said making Luka laugh again. "Truce? Dear sister of my soul?"

"Truce dear love."

A few days after the Holmgang the royal family went into full PR mode by promoting the upcoming wedding for the future King and Queen of Asgard. Luka went into town with Frigga to visit the local cloth merchant. Being seen picking out the fabric for her wedding gown would boost the morale of the people. People like to look to positive things. Thor was seen at a local jeweler's shop designing his new arm bracer that would mark him as a married man. Luka paid that same jeweler a visit after Thor had gone to design her bracelet. Food orders for the wedding feast were placed all over town for everything from ale to yeast bread.

Loki remained close to Sif, Fandral, and the others while sparring. Some of the other warriors no longer wanted to train with him. Loki found he no longer cared about their opinions. Luka came often to cheer him on and watch Sif and the Warriors Three fight him. She wiggled her eyebrows at Sif, garnering a blush from the female warrior. She hoped that the two would make a good pair. Loki deserved happiness and love. At the end of the matches Luka would come down and hand Loki a steaming damp towel to pat off the dirt and sweat. She would sometimes run her fingers through his hair and tuck it behind his ear and stare into his eyes with deep abiding love.

People started talking. Loki would peck a quick kiss on Luka's temple in the mornings after breakfast. They would dance together after dinner and laugh in a way that made them look like lovers. People would look up to Thor to gage his reaction, expecting to find anger and jealousy there. They found only love and relief. As the wedding drew nearer the two Loki became closer, people began to speculate about Luka's bedroom activities with her other self.

Luka was in her room boxing up her personal effects, yet again, to prepare for the move into her and Thor's new combined chambers when Loki knocked on the door.

"Enter." She called out as she placed a book into the box.

"It's me." Loki said.

"What can I do for you?"

"It's what I can do for you actually." Loki said. Luka stopped what she was doing and turned around to look at him. The wedding was three days away.

"What is it?" Luka stepped towards him and put her hands in his. She felt the air grow thick with obvious sexual tension.

"Do you remember when you told me to go fuck myself?"

"Loki, what if Thor found out? I don't want to hurt him."

"Honestly I don't think he'd mind. He'll be here in a few minutes. I lured him to your room under false pretenses." Loki leaned in and kissed her. "Don't tell me you haven't thought about getting double stuffed?"

"Fuck you do know me." She pulled him in and kissed him hard. They got naked quickly and onto the bed.

"Let me see you." Loki said. Luka spread her legs wide to show Loki what he used to fear so much. "You're beautiful." Loki got down to where he could lick and taste her. He set to work, nibbling and sucking. She was a moaning panting sweaty mess when Thor walked in.

"Luka I got your mes…" Thor shut the door and stood there not knowing what he was supposed to feel. Loki stopped what he was doing and sat up.

"Well don't just stand there you idiot! Get naked and get your ass over here." Loki said. Thor looked at Luka for confirmation and came undone at her needful gaze.

"Are we doing what I think we are about to do?" Thor asked.

"You said you'd have me any which way you can. We can all make love together." Luka said. Thor couldn't get his clothes off fast enough. He dived onto the bed making it bounce really high. He grabbed Loki and thrust his tongue into his mouth. Loki returned the kiss with full passion.

"Let's show her how much we love her." Loki said to Thor.

"Yes."

"Good. You take the front door; I'll take the back door." Loki said.

"Excuse me?" Luka said.

"What? Don't pretend that isn't what you want."

"Yes but you don't have to be so crass about it."

"I'm a red blooded man, now bend over like a good little bitch." He said and then spanked her. Luka blushed and gave a shocked scandalized smile.

"Luka, I didn't know you enjoyed that sort of talk in bed." Thor said with a surprised but pleased expression.

"Only when its coming from him. He's the one that likes being dominated in bed." She said.

"Oh really?" Thor said.

"Hush. You don't need to give away all of our secrets." He said to her. "I think Thor should lie on his back and you get on top of him and I come in from behind?" Loki looked to them for confirmation. They nodded and moved into position. Luka and Thor kissed for a moment. He brushed his fingers between her legs to feel her.

"So wet already." Thor said. Loki left the bed and returned with lube and set to work stretching her so she could receive him. Luka and Thor kissed and groped one another as Loki prepared her. When she was ready, Loki grabbed Thor's cock and guided it inside her. It was mesmerizing, watching the red rod disappear into the blue flesh.

Thor's breath hitched at the touch of Loki's hand on his cock and he moaned when he pressed into Luka's wet heat. He made slow shallow thrusts while waiting for Loki to join them.

"Are you ready for me?" He asked them. Thor nodded.

"Yes. I'm ready." She said. Loki pressed into her slow at first.

"So tight!" Loki gasped as he pressed in. It went slow. It had to. They did not want to harm her. Finally, when she was stretched and comfortable enough, they moved inside her in earnest. Luka held on to Thor. It was all she could do as she broke apart from pleasure. She was drenched in sweat as the two pounded together in a brutal efficient rhythm.

"Oh fuck! Oh god Luka! Fuck!" Loki was trying not to come so soon but it was hard.

"So amazing. Oh baby, take all of that cock." Thor said. Luka was moaning loud enough to alert the servants to what was happening in her bedchambers.

"Ohhaaah…ahhh…I'm gonna come…" Luka was keening high pitched and frantic. Thor and Loki sped up their thrusts and when Luka seized they did too, all three coming as one. They took a moment, panting and blissed. When Loki pulled out he ran to the bathroom to wash up and returned a few moments later to find Thor and Luka cuddling in bed. He suddenly felt very much the third wheel.

"I'll go now." He said.

"No. You will stay." Thor said. Loki felt relieved and climbed back onto the bed and cuddled up in Thor's arms. He on Thor's left and Luka on Thor's right. They each had their head on his chest and they were looking at one another.

"Thank you for including me." Loki said.

"Thank you for including me." Thor said.

"Thank you both for loving me." She said. As the minutes past Thor got a frown on his brow and Luka became concerned.

"Thor? What is wrong?" Luka asked.

"I think the two of you should make love. Just the two of you. I'd like to watch if that is alright?" Thor asked. Luka and Loki looked at one another.

"I would like to make love to you." He said.

"I want that too." They all shifted and Thor moved to the edge of the bed, laying on his side to watch. Luka lied down and Loki got on top of her in the missionary position. They kissed one another to rekindle their lust and arousals. When Loki was hard again he entered her. Thor watched Loki love her so tenderly.

"I love you Luka."

"Say my real name."

"I love you Loki."

"I love you Loki." She said. They were both crying.

"I'm so sorry for everything."

"I'm sorry too. Oh god I want to be one with you always, forever, and again." She said.

"Yes. One Loki forever." He said, thrusting into her to unify them in a new way. They chased their climax, gasping with each new wave.

Thor watched them amazed and comforted that they'd finally found one another. As both Loki were reaching their orgasms something happened. They started to glow. Thor sat up, alarmed and then hopeful.

"Oh! It's happening! Loki! We'll be one! We'll be one!" She cried out. Their fingers interlaced and Loki slammed his hips into her harder and faster, harder and faster. Thor got off the bed and backed away for his safety.

"Loki!"

"Loki!"

"LOKIIIIII"

…

"Loki?" Thor asked. On the bed was a single person, blue in color with shoulder length black hair. It was an intersex Jotunn runt and it had his brother's face.

"For the first time in my life, I am whole."
