Why This Must Be Read: An AU fusion with the movie of the same name, featuring drama from a natural disaster. John (Director of the Office of Emergency Management) and Rodney (a geophysicist) are caught up in an earthquake that causes an eruption of lava in downtown Los Angeles. There's action and adventure, lots of Shrift's excellently snarky dialogue, and some romance in the mix. An excellent and dramatic read!

Rodney pointed emphatically at the pond in MacArthur Park. "That lake was 62 degrees yesterday. Today it's up to 68."

Sheppard leaned against Rodney's Humvee and squinted at the lake. "Huh."

Sheppard looked ridiculously attractive while doing that, but Rodney was prepared to ignore it in the face of potential stupidity and overwhelming dimness. "Listen, Sheppard. It takes a geological event to heat a million gallons of water by six degrees in twelve hours."

"What's a geological event?" Sheppard asked.

Rodney's eyes went wide. He flapped his hands. He shot Zelenka a speaking look of horror over Sheppard's shoulder. "Are you kidding me? You have got to be kidding me. How can you be the director of the Office of Emergency Management in Los Angeles when you don't know what a geological event is? Did you seriously get your job by sleeping with Mayor Emmagen? Because I thought those rumors were ridiculous after details leaked about your exemplary military service record, but I'm prepared to reconsider unless someone tells me that you're kidding."

"He's kidding," someone called out.

"Sorry," said another member of Sheppard's team, who actually looked contrite. Blue eyes. Strong jaw. Unfortunate military haircut. "He likes to do that."
