Wednesday: New Fandoms
Heyheyhey, I’m still drabblewriter, and today's theme is new fandoms. We all have our old stand-bys, our Stargates and Buffys and the like, but let's use today to give some love to their little siblings. Prompts can be from anything you'd consider "new" - whether it's premiered in the last few years or is a reboot or sequel, etc. If you think it works, it works

Jim and Leonard paused. Two sets of eyes blinked in Spock's direction.
"It seems," Spock elaborated, "that we are not currently under anyone's supervision."
Jim and Leonard stared, expressions frozen in stunned disbelief, before turning to take a look for themselves.
The guards had apparently abandoned their watch, pulled forward by the hypnotic lure of the flickering flames. They danced now with the others, swallowed by the crowd as they added their voices to the frenzied cries.
Jim lifted an eyebrow, impressed. "Good observation, Spock."
Spock inclined his head. "Thank you, Captain."
"Of, for Christ's sake," Leonard mumbled, edging back into the shadows. "Let's leave the niceties for later and get the hell out of here."
Grinning, Jim followed, ducking low as he skirted the shrubs that dotted the clearing. Spock brought up the rear, watching for any indication that their departure was noticed.
It was not.
Several hundred yards later they were deep into a field, tall grass nearly over their heads and nary a native in site. Jim elbowed Leonard, gold shirt barely visible under the distant starlight. "Told ya."
"Don't want to hear it," Leonard said.
"Aw," Jim wheedled. "Don't pout just because we survived."
"Hey," Leonard said. "We ain't out of this yet. There's still plenty of time for us to die."
Jim shook his head good-naturedly. "There's just no pleasing some people," Jim called back to Spock, but he smiled as he blazed forward, cutting a path towards their downed craft and the communication equipment onboard.
"Well," Spock said, pulling even with Leonard as they walked, steps light and even. His gaze slid towards Leonard's, catching his eye. "I suppose it could be worse."
Leonard's frown was lost in the dark and Spock moved forward to join his captain, leaving the doctor to mutter to himself as they continued on their way.
