Neil wrote:  The ideas are still there, Jen!  That reference is to a 
fanfic vision of Draco Malfoy in leather trousers.  I think Cassie 
originated this (Draco Dormiens and Draco Sinister still being on 
my 'next up' reading list) and I'd say it's a fair marker of 
absorption in the world of HP fanfic to believe that Draco really 
*ought* to be dressing that way.

*giggles* Okay, yes that would be me. But how is Draco in leather 
trousers "aversion therapy"? <vbeg> I can see Draco in a tutu as 
aversion therapy. Or Hagrid in a thong. But Draco in leather 
trousers?......*pauses for thought.* Actually, believe it or not, I 
don't have all that much trouble keeping the canon and the fanon 
Draco separate. Fanon Draco: looks good in leather. Canon Draco: 
absolutely NOT! See? On the other hand, both canon and fanon Sirius 
in leather trousers works fine for me.
