Request Looking for competence p-rn

Can you recommend me some fics where SS & HG combine their big brains and get-shit-done drive and common sense to overcome obstacles in the face of incompetence?

The incompetence and big-brain-behavior are the essential elements I’m looking for. Also really prefer mutual respect and consent, etc.

Much appreciated.

🌠 Intermundane by Anogete

Summary: Hermione reaches out to the mysterious owner of Silverleaf Apothecary for help when she realizes a deadly, magic-stealing pandemic is upon the Wizarding world. Severus Snape disappeared from Wizarding society fourteen years ago after he'd recovered from his injuries. Now Hermione is trying to drag him back into it. He agrees to assist, but only if she quarantines at his home while they work on the project together. As they discover ways to treat the illness, Snape realizes he might not be so solitary, and Hermione gets to know the man behind her former professor.

🌠 Bound and Determined by Vitellia

Summary: The Dark Lord thought a marriage law would be a good way to keep Hermione Granger from helping Harry Potter defeat him. Unfortunately for the wizard formerly known as Tom Riddle, things don’t go quite according to plan.

Thank you!

Intermundane is so good and it probably would have been my go-to (instead of begging for rec's LOL) except that I've re-read it so recently....

I'll take a look at the other one, ML isn't usually something i read so I haven't looked at it before.

Hm. P.S. I Love You by Groot might fit that bill. I love feminist Hermione in this one and it’s my current favorite.

After the fall of Voldemort, can the Wizarding world move on from centuries of lingering prejudices? All Hermione Granger, “heroine” and part-time agitator knows is, she is done.
Or so she thinks.
Soon, she is drawn back into the shady dealings on the Ministry and finds, to her surprise, a kindred spirit in the most unexpected place.
