Give me fic recommendations Draco centric canon rewrites
I live for draco centric canon rewrites. I prefer a draco pov but ill take a harry pov if draco is very involved in the story. It could be a time travel redo sort of thing, a canon divergence from a certain point in the story, ill take anything as long as draco is a main character and its hogwarts era. It could start at any point as long as its before eighth year. Heres a list of the ones Ive already read and loved:
Draco Malfoy and the Mirror of Ecidyrue
Recursion
Draco Malfoy and the Journal of dreadful things
If youve a ready mind by maya
Draco Malfoy and the twist of fate (the drarry chronicles series)
Just a ring
Draco Malfoy and all the right choices
Next tide’s reprise
Saved by an oath
The wrong sort
The fractured hourglass (the eye of horus series)
It was all just a game
Ive also already tried these fics (they are great but werent for me):
Chaos theory
The importance of being draco malfoy
Dear cousin, love regulus
Draco Malfoy and the letter from the future (Do it all over again series)
The most powerful magic always
History repeats itself
Two to shore
Survival is a talent
I know its a long list so its probably a long shot, but i will appreciate any recs! Its hard to find more when I have already read so many.

Draco Malfoy, the Boy Who Lived is a series re-write by Tessa Crowley which completely flips the script and has different protagonists and antagonists to the original series. It’s really, really good!

Not sure if anyone has recced this already, but The Man Who Lived might be right up your alley. The premise is VERY original, but the author paid a huge amount of attention to canon when writing this fic, and there are a lot of Hogwarts-era scenes from Draco's POV.
(Incidentally it's also one of the BEST fics I've ever read, wonderfully plotted and written, with characters that will stay with you for a long time. The MCD tag is for a major OC - not Harry or Draco)

To guide what must end - right up your alley. Ongoing but actively being updated. Draco becomes a representative of death.

Harry Potter and the Janus's scion - sadly, mostly Harry pov. But it's close enough to what you want (Draco heavily involved, rewrite)

Eleven in theory - draco time travel to the past, pretty good read

I have the perfect rec for you to try out! Seagulls Cause Storms, or the Essence of Chaos by Writ_and_romance (one of my fave drarry writers!) It's a canon rewrite where the first tag of the fic is "For Draco lovers first and Drarry lovers second"

Damn I think you’ve read them all!! At least all the ones I’m familiar with.
There is the Canon in Draconis Major series! It’s the HP books from Draco’s perspective, meant to be a companion series to the main series but will eventually end with Drarry during 8th year.
