I get it and the not talking to one another trope often annoys me, too, but I think in the situation, it's more surprising they've talked as much as they have. Especially with the things they can feel from one another thanks to the bond (and therefore believe to know), that's about the last thing they'd do. Snape doesn't talk to anyone anyway, and certainly not about his feelings, firstly because that's just not him, and secondly because it's a liability at this point in the war. And I think in Hermione's shoes, it would be nothing less than rude to try to impose further upon someone who's done you a favor of this magnitude, plus it's just too daunting. Presently. She's not a Gryffindor for nothing... (Which is one of the things I happen to like about the S/G pairings.)
However! Talking has merit. As such, for a quick fix, I'll direct you to "happy christmas, severus" the fifth instalment in my "christmas spirit [index]" series (Hogwarts 8th year, Hermione has just graduated and started an apprenticeship, Severus and Lavender survived the war). If you have a little time, I'd start with "christmas spirit", which sets things up. In fact, if you like my Slytherins, I can recommend the whole series. The next story starts next week and ties all of those storylines together in a way that should definitely appeal to anyone who likes wandpoint, even though Severus and Hermione aren't front and centre. It's much more of an ensemble piece.
Or! And this is extremely niche, but off your username you might get some amusement from my 2019 lego advent calendar fic, which was a weird experiment that just sort of happened... It morphed into spontaneous fic and spawned robust (talk-filled 😉) epilogues. The whole recipe series of shorts over there is based on talking happening, as is the tea drabble series which evolved from a friend sending me pics of their lego minifigs. (I said "niche", right?) I think you'd like the third of those, but as the other two are so short and set it up... But that reminds me I should have a tidy up over there and add some of my newer material. I'll try to see to it once I get the next christmas spirit story up...
