2. War between Shatrughn and Luvnasur.
3. Ashwamedh yajna by Ram (but no war related to the yajna)
4. Luv and Kush sing Ramayan
5. Sita enters into the Earth; Ram is shocked and says that he will destroy the whole Earth. Brahma comes with other gods, he calms down Ram and tells glorifies Ram by telling Ram his real identity.
6. Story of Shambuk's vadh by Ram
7. Story of a dog who was head priest in his previous birth
8. Kaal meets Ram and requests Ram to end his incarnation

In the absense of the actual translation of the latter part of Yudhyakand, as well as Uttarkand in ValmikiRamayan.net, this is a good place to go:

The sequence is somewhat different from what Akhl described above - dunno whether he meant to be sequential or not.
* Agastya tells Ram, Sugriv & Vibhishan the story of Ravan and his family, as well as that of Vali's family
* Rama & Sita reign in Ayodhya for 10000 years. At the end of it, Sita gets pregnant, and wishes to celebrate the event by visiting rishis, and Rama arranges for Lakshman to take her and fulfil her desires
* Rama hears about the aspersions cast on Sita by some citizens of Ayodhya. So he asks Lakshman to leave her near Valmiki's ashram after taking her there. Lakshman does that, and reveals to Sita the aspersions about her, and hence Rama's decision. Sita is devastated, but Valmiki comes and offers her refuge.
* Lakshman returns to Rama and pacifies him, and Rama then tells him stories like those of rulers like Nrig, Nimi, etc (Much of Valmiki's Ramayan is into Rama's storytelling)
* At the behest of some rishis who are being persecuted by Lavanasura, Rama sends Shatrughan to kill him and rule Mathura. En route, Shatrughan stops at Valmiki's ashram, where on that very night, Kush-Luv are born. He also meets Sita there.
* Shatrughan fights and kills Lavanasura after catching him unawares w/o his trishul. Following this, Shatrughan becomes the ruler of Madhupura, which he re-names Mathura.
* Stories of Shambhuka, and the narration of a dog (the authenticity of these are questionable)
* Lakshman proposes to Rama that he perform an Ashwamedha yagna, narrating to him the story of Indra/Vritra. Rama agrees, narrating to him the story of Raja Hila.
* Ashwamedh yajna by Ram (but no war related to the yajna; in fact, it was Lakshman who accompanied the horse, and w/o incident)
* Valmiki is among the invitees, and he brings Kush-Luv along with him to sing the Ramayan
* Luv and Kush sing Ramayan upto the point of Sita's exile
* Upon Rama's asking, K-L reveal to him that they are sons of Sita. Rama is therefore eager to have them, and therefore asks for Sita to be brought to him and swear to her chastity, so that he can take her back, along with his sons.
* Sita takes a vow and enters into the Earth; Ram is shocked and says that he will destroy the whole Earth. Brahma comes with other gods, he calms down Rama
* Rama completes the yagna and rules for another 10000 (?) years. At the end of it, Kaushalya, Sumitra & Kaikeyi die one by one
* Rama sends Bharat to join King Yudhajit in conquering Gandhara. Bharat massacres 30 million Gandharvas, and sets up 2 cities/kingdoms for his sons - Takshashila for Taksha, and Pushkaravati for Pushkal
* Rama, Lakshman and Lakshman's 2 sons Angad and Chandraketu invade and conquer Himalayan region of Karupadhadesha, and install Angad and Chandraketu as the 2 kings of 2 more cities - Angadvad & Chandrakant
* Kaal meets Ram and requests Ram to end his incarnation
* Durvasa visits Rama, and forces Lakshman to interrupt the meeting, inviting his death. Rama however 'disowns' Lakshman as an alternative, and Lakshman adapts an yogic pose and is taken away to Vaikuntha by Indra
* Rama is distraught at Lakshman's passing and announces to his subjects that he is following him, and offers Bharat the throne. Bharat refuses, and proposes that it be given to Kush & Luv. Shatrughan is also sent this news, and he crowns his sons Subahu and Shatrughatee the rulers of Mathura and Vidisha respectively
* Rama, Bharat, Shatrughan, Sugriv, Guha, Sumantra, and a whole lot of their followers as well as the people of Ayodhya enter the Sarayu and end up in various loks in heaven.
As you can see, in Valmiki's Uttarkand, there is little about Kush-Luv, other than their birth, their singing the Ramayan, as well as their rajya-abhishek. All the popular stories about them are the product of various people's imaginations, although they did grow up to be good rulers.
