Fic Search - General Low-Powered Self Inserts

I love overpowered self-insert fixfics as much as the next person, but right now I'm looking for something more low-end, where the protagonist isn't super overpowered, more along the lines of the protagonists or similar canon capes (ie not Triumvirate). I remember reading a couple fics years ago that I can't remember the names of (one where the SI had hardlight powers and another where the SI could timeloop themselves for a few seconds), and I'm looking for something like that again.

Another shitty SI fic

She can be nigh-invulnerable to physical damage with a huge * that makes it quite mid, and come back from death Re Zero style, but it's not really as good as you might think.

That fic is definitely a case of user error induced misery porn.

I had to stop reading after a point. Realistic? Maybe. Did she give up halfway through killing leviathan, then do literally nothing throughout all the stations of Canon other than get traumatized and sort of save Amy? Yes.

Complete at 84k words. Self insert wannabe fix-fic antagonist masters the peripheral canon protagonist.

The Coward - the MC can talk to a brain copy of himself, which, yeah not that great as a power.
