Hi, Penny. I happen to LOVE Sharp's and Kat's portrayal of Lucius and Narcissa in Restituere. Sharp's Lucius is the first time I've seen the character written with more than one or two dimensions. Its a tribute to the writer for making someone like me (who loves to hate the character) see him as human.
Of course on the other hand, I still like to see him as the bad guy. I think it is popular for the bad guy to be written as "bad" in stories. Depends of course on the point of the story and how well written it is.
Do I like canon!Malfoy? Yes I do, but I certainly love AUs and fanon enough to allow good writers show me another side to the character through their stories.
I think a good writer can write a one dimensional character into a three dimensional, feeling character, but sometimes its just a matter of preferences. Some people will never like fanon versions of stories, but its funny to me that the ones who seem to prefer canon stories are the ones to change their minds on a whim.
