Set between dragon tattoo and played with fire.

Mikael Blomkvist sat on the floor on his apartment sorting through a large pile of newspapers. He'd left the cleaning out of his spare room far too long to be honest but the release of the Wennerström book had kept him very busy indeed in the last couple of months. He picked through a few drafts of old Millennium articles before deciding to leave the newspapers until later. He moved over to the solid pine IKEA wardrobe in the corner of the room warily. He had no idea what kind of crap would be hoarded in here from over the months. He opened the cupboard and out fell a mountain of jumbled objects. Some were old binder folders, other old sheets that he'd meant to throw out but had never gotten around to, some were various bits of paper but there was one item that stood out from the lot. On the top of the jumbled junk pile sat a blue object that Mikael remembered well. Or more correctly he remembered well who it had belonged to.

Mikael shook his head and continued cleaning up the junk in the spare room. Once the wardrobe had been cleared and stacked neatly he picked up the blue A cup bra and placed in the draw of the wardrobe. Maybe it was wishful thinking but he hoped that one day Lisbeth Salander would come back to retrieve it.

Hey everyone. I'm considering going further that just this little short but I honestly don't know whether I'm smart enough to, ha. The Millenium Trilogy is hard to write and because of when I set it anything I'd write afterwards would be non-canon and I find it hard to write non-canon stories. But I'll try, maybe, and if anything seems good enough I'll post it up :)
