Danger Man Fic Rec Masterlist

[argentnoelle]

In which I attempt to compile every single story in the fandom… because of Danger Man’s relation to The Prisoner, a lot of these fics may reference the other series. I try to mention it, but I may forget, especially if it’s not a big part of the story.

*=personal favorite

DANGER MAN/SECRET AGENT

1. “In Spite of All the Danger” by JulietBurke007 (unfinished)

Summary: The adventures of John Drake before he became Danger Man or The Prisoner. This reluctant spy must deal with ruthless criminals, clandestine operations, and his own tumultuous life in order to prevent the Cold War from erupting into an inferno.

(Summary of the story as written) During WWII, young pilot/spy John Drake gets shot down on a mission and coordinates an escape with his fellow prisoners.

It’s got an interesting plot with some twists and is, happily, a little longer than the other stories for this fandom, at four chapters.

2. “That’s One of the Nice Things About Me” by Mneme.miny.moe

Summary: Glimpses of what life is like when one is the best agent in M9.

A short drabble series of scenes that might have taken place during the show.

3. “The Wayward” by Mneme.miny.moe (unfinished)

Summary: For three years, Violeta Gabor has managed a covert operators’ support outpost, only miles away from the Iron Curtain. But the station, disguised as a little travelers’ inn, has outlived its usefulness and must be closed down - or has it?

(Summary of the story as written) Violeta and Drake meet and have a short conversation in code as he checks into the inn. It’s a fun, intriguing scene, that works well on its own & doesn’t necessarily read as unfinished - except for the fact that the last word of the last sentence is almost certainly missing.

4. “The Parallel Lines Sometimes Meet Affair” * [Danger Man/Man from U.N.C.L.E crossover] by theladyrose

John Drake teams up with two spies on a mission to learn more about a new technology that could be helpful to the intelligence community. Modern AU, three chapters. Has a nice narrative style and fun dialogue; but focuses only on the set-up of the case.

5. “The Village Affair” * by Eliann_SleepingCat [The Prisoner/The Man From U.N.C.L.E. crossover]

The plan is: go in, free Drake. In the Village, nothing is ever that simple.

This is technically a Prisoner fic (with spoilers for the whole series), but 6/Drake’s backstory/Danger Man is an integral part of the plot as it goes forward. Multi-chapter! :) A great plot-focused story with an unexpectedly powerful ending. The worldbuilding backstory/characterization was unique and interesting.

6. “Secret Agent Man” part 1, 2, and 3 by Jude-Marian

John Drake on a case.

It’s written like an episode of the series, very plot-heavy.

7. “The Typical Conversation of John Drake” by Sonia34

Parody/drabble. :)

8. “A Man’s Best friend Is…” [Danger Man/The Prisoner crossover] by Jude-Marian

Drabble. John Drake thinks he sees something very strange…

9. “Danger Man: Carnival” by Jude-Marian

Drake and his friend Dr Seltzman spring a trap. Written like an episode.

10. “To John Drake” by Jude-Marian

Drake stops an assassination.

11. “Danger Man: ‘Georgio’” part 1, 2 by Jude-Marian

In which Drake is outwitted.

12. “Danger Man: ‘Finders Keepers, Losers Weepers’” by Jude-Marian

Drake is sent on a mission to recover a lost drone.

13. “Danger Man: ‘Vogelverschrikker of Romney Marsh’” [Danger Man/The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh …crossover?] by Jude Marian

Drake is sent to save the life of a Dutch politician.

14. “Golden Boys” * [Danger Man/James Bond crossover 1] by possiblie

“I think James and John were in charm school together. some people’d joke that the recruiting agents must have a fetish for golden boys, and then there were other, less wise classmates that said John was kept around for spares.”

This is actually a headcanon and not a fic, but it’s the kind of headcanon that feelslike a fic. It doesn’t actually have a title, the title here in quotes is what I gave it to differentiate it from the next one.

15. “James and John” * [Danger Man/James Bond crossover 2] by possiblie

Unlike the other two headcanons by possiblie, this one has less of a story feel, it’s more like a bunch of scene-snippits put together.

16. “The Old Guard” * [Danger Man/James Bond crossover 3; references to The Prisoner] by possiblie

“James is not sentimental about loss.”

Again, another headcanon that’s just titled here for reference.

17. “The Cold” * by eponymous_rose

“From time to time, even John Drake feels the chill.”

This story is wonderful. It perfectly gets the atmosphere of the series and it’s beautifully character-focused.

It’s also written to lead up to The Prisoner, (and is probably better read having seen the other series) with some references near the end of the story.

18. “Drake’s Women” * by Praxus Goforth

Summary: A look at the women in Drake’s life.

Humor. Not what it seems like from the summary :) Absolutely lovely narration and a wonderful little storyline. If you need a fic to cheer you up from all the depressing stuff, this is it.
