Sorry about the delayed response. My day got away from me with projects demanding completion. I don't have it available anywhere at the moment. Apologies for that. I don't even have it saved in a format other than Word.
I.D. Locke
The story you're asking about is Some Velvet Morning. It was previously available on Yaoifix. When the terms of that contract were up, the rights reverted back to me. I have not posted it anywhere since then. I would like to re-release it for sale through Amazon but haven't gotten around to doing so at this time.
While it's not what you're looking for specifically, I do have a good bit of stories posted to Ao3. Everything posted there is always a complete work so you never need to wait for me to update something. There are some stories from The Dream Time World there but the bulk is from the Divine Worship World which is what I've been writing the most.

I'd like to put Dreaming up for sale (likely via Amazon) but haven't gotten around to doing it yet as other projects are using up my time. I still need to figure out covers for it and where to break it into parts because it's such a large story. I apologize for taking forever to get this done.
I.D. Locke
I do want to re-release it. I'll need to have a new cover made for it and more than likely I'll need to break it into at least 2 parts (possibly 3) for publishing purposes because it's so large. I know what I'd like to have as far as a cover goes and that requires me to complete a few projects to get it done and I never seem to have the time.
I'd also like to re-release Some Velvet Morning as well and that'll need a cover, too. Finishing Escape Velocity is also on my To-Do List.
I've been writing mostly in my Divine Worship World that last several years and if you're looking for more of my work to read, I have 22 stories of varying length (short to full novel) on Ao3. Two of the stories are linked to Dreaming (but not with Tyh/Dak as the mains). The link to my author page is here: https://archiveofourown.org/users/ID_...

Generally speaking you can read anything in any order without getting lost as far as characters and knowing who's who. There is a timeline of sorts though to the stories. The official name for stories with the Awh'anise (and other species of that world) is The Dream Time World. Some stories are on my author journal, some are on Ao3 and some were on Yaoifix. The stories that were on Yaoifix are not currently available elsewhere unfortunately.
Balancing Karma and Dreaming Of The Void were written at the same time (because I'm crazy like that) and their stories do overlap each other so it doesn't matter which one is read first. I finished writing Karma first so perhaps read that first.
Lor'fei Mark comes after the events of Karma and is a one-shot.
Beauty's Beholder and The Knowing come after the events of Dreaming and are both one-shots (read in any order).
End Of A Clan is a one-shot set 3 years after Karma/Dreaming and is tied to Some Velvet Morning.
Some Velvet Morning is set 4 years after Karma/Dreaming. SVM was published on Yaoifix.
Escape Velocity is currently unfinished but had 13 chapters published on Yaoifix. It's set 6 years after Some Velvet Morning (10 years after Karma/Dreaming).
Enchanted Shadows is a bit of an odd duck timewise as it spans 18 years. It starts about 3 months after Karma.
Read the following one-shots that are tied to ES in this order: Surprise Visit, Karmic Quirk, Due Date and Disconnected Unison.
All of the above stories involve one particular extended family. In addition to those stories I have also written the following that can be read in any order and are generally independent of the above stories as far as timeline and characters goes:
The Lost Cadre (Ai no Kusabi fanfic, Zesiro and Jolen appear in later chapters, unfinished)
Sea Of Stars (Jolen/Kysmirhea, unfinished)
Brotherly Love (Lashi/Zesiro, one-shot)
Karmic Pitstop (Moswen/Kijika Cadre x-over, one-shot)
Symphonic Movements (Zesiro/Raul, one-shot)
Winning Affection (Jolen/Sevilen, one-shot)

No, I have not been able to get it formatted yet and cover photos have still to be made. The province I live in (I'm Canadian) has been going through rolling pandemic lockdowns for literally more than half a year so getting photos done has been a non-starter. I'd like to be able to get them done in the not-so-distant future now that things are opening up again but I honestly don't know when that'll be. I will post when it is available though and apologize for the long delay in getting this available again.
I.D. Locke
The rights to Dreaming Of The Void have reverted back to me and it's my intention to put if up for sale. Because of the size of it, it'll most likely need to be a 3-book release. I need to have some covers done for it and wanted to use my dolls for that. The pandemic lockdown meant that I couldn't have photos taken of them but hopefully that'll be something that can happen in the not-so-distant future.
If you're looking for more of my work, you can find a good amount of free-reads on my author page on Ao3. I have a couple of things from The Dream Time world posted but the majority of work is from the Divine Worship world. Something there might tickle your fancy and tide you over until I can get Dreaming up for sale.

I had hoped to have it done by the end of the year but life kinda happened all over me. Unfortunately I don't have a projected timeline for it to get it all formatted for e-book purposes. I may take the lazy route and convert it to PDF and be done with it in that sense as people are asking for it and it bothers me to ask them to be more patient when it is a completed novel.
It makes me happy to hear that you enjoy the world I created. Thank you.

Balancing Karma is available as a free-read on my author journal. You can find it here: https://id-locke.dreamwidth.org/28107...
I'm not sure what you mean by 2nd book though. There are other books set in The Dream Time World if that's what you're asking. Enchanted Shadows is also available as a free-read on my author journal and you can read that here along with some related one-shots: https://id-locke.dreamwidth.org/36977...
Other stories in The Dream Time World, Dreaming Of The Void, Some Velvet Morning and Escape Velocity are currently only available on Yaoifix although I'm working on getting Dreaming into ebook format.
If you're after more of my work but in a different world/setting, I've been doing most of my writing lately in the Divine Worship World and have a fair bit of books posted as free-reads on Ao3. You can find those here: https://archiveofourown.org/users/ID_... I suggest you take heed of any warnings/tags.
If you're looking for anything else you can't find, let me know and I'll do my best to help you find it. Happy reading!

The rights to all my works with Torquere have been returned to me. I haven't sought out another publisher to re-publish them mostly because I'm lazy. I've posted a few of the shorter pieces to my author journal as free-reads. If you see ANY of my original works offered anyplace other than my author journal, Ao3 or Yaoifix/Endure & Conquer, they are pirated copies.
Are you looking for a specific story? If you are, throw an email my way and I can send you the PDF.
I am still writing stories. Most recently I've been playing a lot in my Divine Worship World which features gods and their lovers from the ancient past. I can link you those stories if you wish.

Unfortunately, my publisher exploded last December so they're not available for sale any more but I'd be more than happy to send you copies of them. Send me an email at silverirondog at gmail dot com and I'll send them to you today. Thank you for your interest and I hope you enjoy the read.
I.D. Locke
Throw an email address at me and I'll send you copies of both. Unfortunately, I only have PDF versions of them as when TQ exploded, I didn't think to DL other versions of them.
Are there any others of mine that you missed getting copies off ARE before they went poof? Let me know and I can send those as well.

There's also a fair bit of other stories as free-reads posted to my author journal as well. I'm hoping to add more but time is forever in short supply for me. If you need any help in finding something or have questions about characters or stories, please feel free to contact me either here or via email (silverirondog at gmail dot com). I love to talk to my readers and of course, talk about my stories/characters.

I don't have any outstanding mysteries in my life. The one question that could maybe be the basis for a mystery is what was I so sick with as a child that would cause my body temperature to skyrocket, sending me into convulsions and requiring me to be packed in ice in order to get my core temp down so I didn't end up cooking my brain. And no, I wasn't sick with a cold or flu when that would happen. I'd go from being perpetually cold ( have Reynaud's) to burning up in a matter of an hour or two. Doctors were baffled as testing for all manner of disease was always a negative and there didn't appear to be any particular trigger for the episode. 40 years later, I still don't know why it happened or why it stopped on it's own after about 3 years.
I.D. Locke
That's a really tough question if you're asking about my characters. It's not all that much easier if you're asking about other people's work.
For characters not mine from books, it's Ryan Cawdor and Kristy Wroth from the Deathlands series by James Axler. They're in love with each other but they also really respect one another and they're not afraid to call each other out if one of them is behaving stupidly/irrationally. They work well together as a team whether as a couple or as team mates trying to survive in a post-nuked world. They're also both really kick-ass.
For my guys... it depends a lot on who I'm writing at the moment because I'm usually deep in their heads.
Moswen (from Balancing Karma) is one of my favs to write because he's just so much fun to write with the crazy things that happen to him and poor Kijika is so long-suffering to put up with it all. Their relationship is pretty straight-forward and I find it comfortable to write them.
Sleet (from various Absolute stories) is a blast because he's a sociopath and I can do anything with him and as long as it is in the name of his end goal, it's fine. As part of a triad with Fei-Lau and Khale, writing their relationship is fun because they each bring something the other two need to the table. Despite Fei-Lau being a god, he doesn't have all the answers and he has mis-read situations. Khale, being new to loving people romantically is stumbling around in the dark at times. Sleet, for all his mental issues is sort of like the glue that binds them together. For the sheer complexity of their relationship, they are one of my favs to write. The level of kink they get up to (heavy BDSM) is also challenging to write.
I could probably write a dissertation on each of my couples and why they're my favourite. Truly a hard question to answer.

Sort of? Currently on my author LJ I have a bunch of shorts/one-shots with Ryzel and Quin as well as some new characters that end up living with them. The link for the master list to those is here: http://id-locke.livejournal.com/4358.... These are all free reads, by-the-way.
Additionally, I have also been working on a story off and on called The Ugly Incubus which has Ryzel and Quin in it as secondary characters. TUI is the story of one of Ryzel's spawn, Sam, and Aaron, a tattoo artist. Further to that, I've recently finished writing a one-shot with a character from TUI that demanded to have a story told. That is currently with my beta readers and after final edits for spelling/grammar, I'll be posting it to my author LJ as a free read.
I do have novels outlined in my head for stories featuring Haskell as a main character with Brishen (Ride A Wild Horse) and one with Adrial and Dorren (Hush Of Angels). Hush has been started but because it crosses with TUI, I need to finish TUI first just for my own sanity.
I have been playing in my Absolute Gods world a lot lately. Unfortunately for my readers, they seem to demand novels and not shorter works so it's taking me quite some time to actually get stuff out for people to read. There are some stories posted to my author LJ in that world and I hope to be able to get more out in the not so distant future. As a form of motivation for myself, I am thinking about doing a monthly or even bi-monthly chapter release of how Khale, Fei-Lau and Sleet get together as a triad.

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed Karma. Aside from a one-shot I wrote where Jaiseki (Moswen & Kijika's son) has twin boys (Vuchel & Vashin), I'm not aware of any other mpregs that use a pouch to explain the pregnancy.
I do have a one-shot in my Big Mystic Smoke world called Grounded For Life where Darius lays an egg (he's a cockatrice/demon) after Haniel accidentally gets him pregnant, which is how Ferrous is born.
I have an unfinished Final Fantasy 8 mpreg fanfic called Push The Limits which is actually a sequel to the Push It arc. The pairing in that is Seifer/Squall. Like all my unfinished work, I'd love to get back to it but all my writing attention is taken up with my original fiction now.
However, if you enjoy mpreg and like Final Fantasy 8 fanfic, I highly recommend Sukanami http://doushi-sumeragi.net/fanfic/ind... She was my gateway into well written mpreg. I don't think she's updated her site in quite some time but there's a good bit of fiction to read there.

The Awh'anise are one of my favourites to play with so there's actually a good bit of fiction about them floating around o my author LJ. After Karma, you should read Lor'fei Mark as it explains what Moswen was told by the Fire Snake about his relationship with Kijika.
Dreaming Of The Void takes place more or less concurrently with Karma and that features Tyhlian and Dakvir (whom you meet in Karma). Dreaming is only available on Yaoifix.com and while that is a pay site, the cost is very reasonable and the story updates every month. If you're curious about what was going on with why the Litches were being killed, you'll find the answers in Dreaming.
Enchanted Shadows takes place after the events of Karma and features Jaiseki and Sarojin. After reading that, read Due Date and then Disconnected Unison in that order. Surprise Visit happens somewhere in the middle of ES so it's a little hard to pin down exactly when it happens (it was written for a friend as a challenge).
Dreaming is nearly finished, by the way, and after that is done, I'll be doing another story for Yaoifix.com that features Makis, Mered (Moswen's brothers) and Kushaiah. Kushaiah's prologue story is called End Of A Clan.
In addition to all that (and unrelated to the above characters/stories), Sea Of Stars features a half-Awh'anise named Jolen and his lover Kysmirhea. The Lost Cadre is an AU Ai no Kusabi fanfic with another Awh'anise named Zesiro in a secondary role.

My most recent novel is ZA: And The Dead Shall Rise. I've always loved the zombie genre and wanted to write a story that takes place during the ZA. Characters popped up and spoke to me and I was off and running. It took a while to write as it's just a bit over 100K but I'm very happy with the story and hope that when it comes out (it's in the edit phase with my publisher right now), people will enjoy the story.
I.D. Locke
I am currently working on Dreaming Of The Void (posted to Yaoifix.com on a chapter/month basis), The Ugly Incubus (a spin-off to Blind Desire and a story that takes place in my Big Mystic Smoke World) and a few random shorts here and there that strike my fancy. I have far more WIP's than is sane/healthy to choose to tinker with.
