Reactions and Reviews

In this AU, Jim is a volcanologist heading a group that is studying the imminent catastrophic eruption of a Hawaiian volcano. Among other things, he is supervising the evacuation of the island - people and animals. Meanwhile, Blair, heading an expedition from Rainier, has volunteered to remain behind to study the effects the eruption has on the local people, and he also wants to study Jim's group as they work. And in the process he discovers that Jim has heightened senses...

I've said it before and I'll undoubtedly say it again - I like AUs. I like stories that explore different ways in which the characters might have met, especially when they are pursuing different careers, and what more different for Jim than a scientific career, even though it is a career that will often give him an adrenaline rush. Rogue handles the growing relationship between the two men very nicely, and her OCs are well-drawn and convincing. The situation she has set up here builds dramatically, and this has long been my favourite of her stories.

She doesn't seem to be writing these days, certainly not in The Sentinel. It's a pity.[1]
