Elysian Fields Archive welcomes back Mystery Month this July, which means it’s time for the most important part of the event: Creating the mystery!
That’s right—WE NEED PROMPTS.
The fun thing with Mystery Month, is that all the prompts are created by the community.
What do we do with the prompts? Every week, a small selection of prompts will be shared. Creators will have ONE WEEK to write and post the next chapter of their fic/artwork that includes their prompt of choice in some way. You only need to choose one, but if you really want to challenge yourself and use all, feel free! We’ll certainly be impressed.
What prompts? Well, for that, we’re turning to all of you beautiful (and totally not slimy) chaos demons for ideas.
Prompts can be the name of a character, an object, a location, a color, a number––pretty much anything you want.
FIVE WORDS OR LESS.
And yes, even if you’re not participating in Mystery Month itself, you can still submit prompts! Readers, lurkers, commenters, agents of chaos—just like a party in an eye socket, everyone’s invited.
And because we love all prompts equally, even the unchosen ones, unused prompts will later be recycled into future event fun
We do still have prompts left from 2022 AND 2024, but we’re a bit greedy and want even more! We especially want newer members, readers, commenters, lurkers, chaos gremlins, and everyone in between to have a chance to contribute.
Start submitting your prompts now through this simple form!
You have from May 15 to June 5 at 11:59 P.M. site time to submit.
More information on Mystery Month (including GORGEOUS awards, like seriously you aren't prepared for how great they are) will be coming in the next few weeks.

I present [with delay, because I forgot to crosspost] a list of 5 Spuffy fics I’ve read between March and April.
They’re all complete, mostly recent, and all links are for Sunnydale After Dark.
Fics marked with the 🌞 emoji were written for SAD’s Short & Spuffy 2026.
(NOTE: some or all may be available on other archives as well).
Listed from oldest to most recent;
see the publishing year (on SAD) before the title.
Some reviews are taken from my own comments left for the stories. I tried to make them short and not spoiler-y.
Summary: He’s bored. He’s trapped. And he’s not going to make it easy on anyone. That is… until something makes it very hard on Spike.
A series of drabbles for Sunnydale After Dark’s Short & Spuffy 2026.
Review: A highly entertaining new take on Spike’s stay at Giles’s place in early S4. And with just enough spice to make you swoon at all the missed opportunities! Perfect Spike voice.
(2026) The Rhyme for Orange by Alyot [R] 🌞 drabbles, 30 chapters
Summary: Spike writes his thoughts after Buffy’s death.
Review: A deep, touching journey into Spike’s grief over the course of that one grim summer, and through his emotions over Buffy’s return.
(2026) the whole kit and caboodle by jewelram [PG-13] 🌞 drabbles, 30 chapters
Summary: or, what are a vampire, a slayer, and a key to do when their apartment is overrun with kittens?
Review: Follow the fun adventures of Buffy, Spike, Dawn, and their mischievous four cats in these delicious drabbles. You’ll gobble them up, guaranteed!
This fic is part of a series (this one), but the stories can be read as standalones. Although, if you have the time, I recommend them all (actually, one was already part of my Fic Recs, exactly a year ago, check it out!
(2026) Show Your Work by gwennie [NC-17] 🌞 drabbles, 30 chapters
Summary: As they head home from a routine patrol, Buffy ponders Spike’s jewellery choices. Written for Short and Spuffy 2026.
Review: A brilliant, seamless storytelling that digs deep into the relationship between Buffy and Spike as they’re navigating their new balance in S7.
(2026) We Carry On by Slaymesoftly [PG] one-shot
Summary: Almost short enough to call a drabble, this takes place shortly after Buffy’s death. Giles and Spike are dealing with her loss.
Review: I am more than willing to put aside my issues with Giles, when there’s some good bonding. I do feel like he’s never really “forgiven” Dawn for Buffy’s sacrifice, and maybe nobody truly did, except Spike.
At least Giles saw that if there was someone capable of keeping the Scoobies together, that was him and Spike, and he acted accordingly...
I read a fic once where spike and buffy were under the influence of something that made them go at it like rabbits and eventually it was discovered the only way to end the (for lack of better word) "heat" was for buffy to get pregnant. But the only way for her to get pregnant was for spike to be human so giles gives him mohra blood to turn him temporarily. I cant find this fic anywhere -- help???
Currently obsessed with a Buffy x Spike fanfic first published in 2018 on AO3 and I have to say, the Spike crush I developed as a child never truly went away.
hey, here's spike, he's a duck now. now he's a bunny. remember the old version of himself that technically died? he's back as a time traveler and buffy is rocking his victorian world. meeting buffy would surely kill him, but what about meeting her sexbot?
anyway, back to buffy. she has wings now. she lost her soul and her preconceived notions about other soulless creatures. oops, it's back, but at least she got a vampire stepdaughter. she's possessing spike's body and feeling all sorts of weird feelings about herself. she's posting poetry on a forum and falling for the same poet she's trying to get away from irl. she's time-traveling to find that the future she's so disgusted by is the one where she's happiest.
they’re having threesomes with a wide variety of supernatural beings. they’re time traveling to spend christmas with spike’s mum. they’re surviving the apocalypse. they’re fighting demons in sex shops.
