My Yuletide story was Earning the Light (Under the Dome (TV))--the show has a lot of good and a fair amount of bad. The good includes Julia Shumway and Dale “Barbie” Barbara—a disgraced journalist and the ex-military-man-turned-enforcer she’s sleeping with. Also, as it happens, he killed her husband, which isn’t even the key source of tension in the relationship. And while they have enough chemistry that I was happy to roll with that, in the story I wanted to dig around a little bit into how Julia might think about her own actions.
