I think I'll go and read your previous efforts. I am finding more and more difficult nowadays to find good slash to read. I think that their "tameness" is a strong point in your story, because it allows the characters the time to be characters. Most slash is so focused on the sex that forgets about the characters. In most J/D slash I read, I mostly skip the sex part. For two reasons: if we decided to institute the Bad sex awards in this fandom, we would end up overtaken by entries, and I am starved for insightful, in character interaction between the characters. Usually what you find is bad BDSM (I do not care how many weird sex toys you can get to use in a page, that does not make a good insight in the dinamics of a BDSM relationship), Hurt/comfort (mostly out of character and the clinical conditions some people come out with makes me wonder if they aren't really BDSM writers in denial)and humor. The humor are usually the best stuff, as long as it doesn't involve strange food substances in places where they should not be. Anyway, taking in account that I just alienated most of the slashy SG1 fandom (but cheer up girls, at least you are not writing Harry Potter! Damn, now I have alienated HP writers too;)), all that I wanted to say was:
