Competent Hermione Granger the Adult not "BAMF" Granger the Scary One

I'm looking for some recs with a competent, adult, normal Hermione. Examples of which would be in Measure of A Man, DMATTOOBIL, Sprigs of Tansy, A Shift In Loyalty, A Hard Roe to Hoe, Sacramentum, Remain Nameless, etc. Yes, she's incredibly smart, very loyal, hard working but doesn't have all the answers, makes mistakes sometimes, isn't mad all the time, enjoys time with her friends and is a bit insecure like all humans are. The characterization of Hermione being good at all things, has major attitude, and can run baddies down in 6 inch heels and kick their butts all with a pithy comeback gets old for me. I want a story, good writing and a competent Hermione - insecurities, warts, brilliance and all. In other words, like most of us. I'm reading a WIP (well, I've stopped because I totally glommed all the chapters and now I'm just going to wait for it to be finished bc I've found I'm NOT a WIP person) called Hermione Granger's Rules for Growing things and I love it. Longer than 60,000 words and no WIP would be appreciated. No offense to mega lovers of the BAMF (or your definition of it) trope. TIA
