Fics like A Universe Away (what died didn't stay dead)

(Title a tongue-in-cheek application of some Taylor Swift lyrics) Daisy no-last-name was a nobody before she got chosen to be the botanist and mechanical engineer for the Ares III mission to Mars. Finally free from her abusive, no-good ex-fiancé Grant Ward, Daisy throws herself into training and soon enough launches into space and docks with the Hermes for the ten month long trip to the red planet. She's lucky. Her crewmates became her family. The ten months pass in a whirl of laughter, science, and early mornings staring out one of the big windows, watching Earth retreat into the darkness. And then a massive dust storm. Daisy gets struck by a flying piece of debris. Her biomonitor shows a total flatline. For all intents and purposes, she's dead. Phil Coulson, the mission commander, fighting against high winds as he looks for her, falls in the darkness and rips his knee up. They leave. They have to. And for two long months, all of Earth thinks she's dead. But she isn't. Daisy wakes up half-buried in sand, utterly alone, with an injury that should have killed her. And by some miracle, she survives. (AOS/The Martian crossover. Don't need to have read the Martian to understand.)
