Fics like The Price of Tomorrow

Ilyukhina and Yáo boarded the Hail Mary expecting to die. The mission was always meant to be a one-way trip, and both made peace with that long before launch. Then they survived. After spending years in a coma, they wake on Erid to discover that humanity has been saved, they are alive, and a future they never expected to have is suddenly within reach. For the first time since leaving Earth, the possibility of going home feels real, but the hope doesn't last long. The Hail Mary will never fly again. The ship was damaged beyond repair, and there is no way back to Earth. Ilyukhina and Yáo find themselves grappling with a cruel reality: they had already accepted death, but accepting life on an alien world proves to be far more difficult. What was once a sacrifice they chose has become a future they never agreed to.
