Fics like wait for me
Earth did not expect the Hail Mary to return from her voyage; they had expected her inhabitants to accept their fate, future patron saints of one-way trips. They had measured the optics. They had prescribed three astronauts with a death sentence; two aware and wanting of the pills they were handed to swallow, one dragged kicking and screaming. They had decided that the future of all humanity, of all known intelligent life, was worth these three lives. They had expected that these three lives would make peace with this: that there would be no help other than their own hands in the unknown stretch of the forever cosmos. They had anticipated no consequence for their actions; that those three names would be known as heroes, no questions asked about if they had wanted to be heroes at all. They had not counted on Ryland Grace. *** Or: the probes don't launch. Ryland Grace is forced to return to Earth. He still isn't giving up on Erid. Or Rocky.
