Possivelmente "Mundo sem fim" (2010) de Fergus Gwynplaine MacIntyre, que foi a resposta para Conto com uma mulher imortal pela nanotecnologia, vê o fim da Terra. A pergunta corresponde à sua descrição (concisa):
Story focused around a woman, who for some reason had been injected /infected with a form of nanotechnology (I think that was the term used). These nanobots initially repaired any injury or damage the woman received. However as the years pass the nanobots have repaired so much of the woman that little or no flesh or blood exists, even replacing elements of the brain. The woman is still lucid and self aware.
The consequence of the repairing is the woman is now unable to die, and immortal (I think). As the years pass by she witnesses the end of the earth and the death of the sun in a supernova.

Uma jovem que é deliberadamente infectada com nanites que preservam e reparam a vida.
Como dizia a pergunta vinculada, ela é injetada após um momento "privado" com um aluno da Uni:
I was wearing a skimpy miniskirt and a halter. He saw the tracks all in the veins in my arms and my legs and he knew I was on the stuff. Then he jabbed a needle into my arm, injected something. It felt like fire in my blood, ooh I wanted it I wanted it.
Ela vive até o fim da humanidade
Quando ela sai do laboratório em que foi testada, não há ninguém a ser encontrado.
Everybody was dead. I could see the big piles of snot and clothes where some people had been lately, and inside the buildings some little piles of dust where the snot had dried up. Most of the animals were dead too. Plenty of trees and plants, though. And insects. There were birds for a few weeks, then they all started dying.
e a morte do universo
Depois dos anos 12,000, ela ainda está por aí, mas o planeta está mudando. O sol está ficando "maior a cada dia e mais vermelho", a ponto de "sempre ser verão". O ar também muda:
That was long long long ago. It's been getting harder to breathe for a long time now. It's not me that's changing, it's the air. It feels thickier than it used to be, and hotter, and stickier. I think there's something poison in it too, but not poison enough to kill me.
como os nanites a fixam constantemente.
Existem muitas referências a isso; extratos:
Somehow the nano-things changed. A while back I noticed that I don't need to sleep any more. I've tried sleeping but it never comes. I'm tired all the time but I can't sleep.
...
I'm going blind in one eye. The left one. I can't remember the last time anything excited me, but I got excited and all when I noticed it. If something's wrong with me and now it doesn't heal, maybe those stinking nano-things are finally breaking down inside me.
...
I started bleeding and I hoped the nano-things would all leak out. While I watched it the whole bloody cut healed in about nineteen seconds. I heal faster now.
