Summary
He saw her legs first.
Then the hem of her very short uniform.
Then the white bow tied around her tiny waist.
Wrapped up like a fucking present.
One that he couldn’t wait to tear open.
He would quite like to play with her box, too.
Or: Taggie is everything but a prostitute. Regrettably, Rupert thinks otherwise.

“It says here you stir the mixture thirteen times counter clockwise, and then recite the spell.”
“That’s it?” Taggie asked doubtfully.
“That’s it,” Cait nodded. “You drink half. Seb drinks half- pish, pash, posh- Agatha O’Hara no longer dies a single virgin.
Rupert has chosen Cameron, and Taggie is fine with that. Really, she is. But that isn't going to stop her from looking for love. Unfortunately for Taggie, neither witchcraft or matters of the heart appear to be an exact science.
Written for the Rutagoween: Saints & Sinners collection.

Summary
Rupert and Taggie both choked on their drink while Brian and her mother tried to hide their laughters. Taggie's father looked at her like she said the most disgusting thing in the world.
"What?" Lottie asked. She seems so innocent, like she didn't know what she had said wrong.
Unless she perfectly knew and was fucking proud of it.
.....
Or when Rupert Campbell-Black's twelve years old niece tries to make him and Taggie O'Hara face their feelings by embarrassing them.

Summary
Taggie had been amused that first night, it was a funny story after all, ‘hey, remember the first night I had in my new flat and I heard the neighbours having sex’, but then it simply did not stop. Most nights Taggie would be disturbed by the sound of his headboard repeatedly thwacking against their shared wall.
Or; Taggie O'Hara is ecstatic when she finally gets a flat of her own, until she realises she seems to have moved in next door to the most insufferable man ever.
Premise based off Alice Clayton's 2012 book Wallbanger

Summary
It’s funny, though. No matter how much she wants to scream at him or throw her coffee in his face (which, honestly, would be very satisfying), she always ends up doing exactly what he wants.
And that’s what she hates most of all.

Summary
She likes the sound of it. Husband. That they’ve chosen each other. That she belongs at Penscombe in a shirt that’s too big with a steaming cup of coffee he’s made just how she likes it-- two sugars, a pile of whipped cream. That he pulls her into his lap with his reading glasses perched on the bridge of his nose, a crease in his brow as he reads constituent letters aloud, asking her opinion, listening carefully when she gives it.
And it’s not running away, even if it feels like it. Even if they left the Priory cloaked in darkness. Skipping the creaking stair, trailing her fingers across the worn oak banister, knowing she’ll be back but it won’t be the same.
or, the secret marriage fic.

Summary
A month after Rupert and Taggie's kiss, Tony offers her a job: her very own culinary show at Corinium. She shouldn't take it, and maybe she wouldn't, if everything was different. Except she does, it isn't, and there's no going back now.
As it stands, Taggie doesn’t set out to ruin her life. In fact, she intends to fix it. Only it doesn’t work out quite like that.
At all.

Summary
"The conversation had started aimlessly, one of her father's self-indulgent and meandering stories. He had made an acquaintance one night, someone he was connected to through The Beeb. Or someone who knew someone who… None of the logistics were ever made too clear. All that she’d been told was a name and an intention: Rupert Campbell-Black needed a wife."
OR: Needing to salvage his image for the sake of his seat as MP, Rupert Campbell-Black enters into an arranged marriage with Taggie O' Hara. From there, things take a turn for the spooky and absurd.

Summary
Between a rift with her family, her burgeoning culinary career, and the counseling sessions that she swears do nothing for her anxiety, Taggie O'Hara's life is kind of a mess- dating history included.
So, she does what every other twenty-year-old on the London dating scene does, and swipes.
But of all the people Taggie O'Hara expects to meet on the apps, her father's long-time rival and ex-MP Rupert Campbell Black is not one of them.
And sure, maybe her love life was about as successful as England had been in every World Cup since 1966- but a thirty-eight-year-old playboy who's Wikipedia included more extramarital affairs than political victories was not the solution.
Right?

Summary
Looking back, everything began to crumble the moment his lips left hers.
Stepping away from him, her whole world tipped on edge and then tumbled like muffins out of the pan.
“Tag,” he had whispered, shaken, broken, in a way that seized her whole heart.
Stumbling promises began spilling from his mouth - Angel, I’ll do anything, whatever you want and I’ve never felt -
It should have been the moment - the fairy tale, the answer to all this painful longing, the blasted distance, the wild bravery it took to let the words break free from her heart. In her mind she saw them riding off together on Rocky, the warm Aga and dirty laundry left behind, as he lifted her and carried her over the threshold of his manor, lonely no more.
Instead, Charles had stumbled into the kitchen looking for more wine, and their bodies pushed away from each other as if burned.
Or: a take on season 2, where Taggie refuses to be a secret, moves out of the Priory, and tries to build her own life apart from Rupert, Declan, and Venturer.

Summary
"Four months and six days.
That’s how long it had been since Agatha O’Hara had spoken to Rupert Campbell-Black after that damned kiss.
Four months, six days, and about twenty minutes. Taggie couldn’t read for shit, but she certainly had a knack for measurements."
In the wake of the silence that followed their kiss in the priory kitchen, Taggie moves on with her life- or at least, she tries to. She dates Seb, caters parties, picks up after Declan, and tells herself she and Rupert are perfectly capable of being just friends.
But letting go of the past is never as simple as it seems.
_Title from "I'd Have to Think About It":
"And if you come to me
When I've promised to commit
If you told me that you loved me
And asked me for a kiss
Well, I'd at least have to think about it"-

Summary
"Did you see the new bloke who's just moved into the manor past the Jones' place? Caught a glance of him as he was moving in, and he's right fit! I heard he's looking to start a business here."
"In Rutshire, of all places? Seeing the way people handle their finances over here, he'll certainly need the capital."
"Oh, I heard he's well flush. And he's young too. There's whispers going around on how he's got the cash he has. Some say he's on the same level as Rupe-"
"That's enough, Caitlin."
"No use talking rumors about a man we don't even know."
It's been a month since that fateful night in the kitchen where Rupert and Taggie shared a kiss. Since then, Rupert has left town with Cameron and the rest of the Venturer crew to pitch a network proposition to broadcast partners in America. Without any word from him, Taggie is left heartbroken.
Meanwhile, there's a new man in Rutshire, and he's looking to start a new business. He's young, and rich. And he's got his eyes on one Taggie O'Hara.

‘Come on darling, bedtime.’
Rupert pulls his hand away from her abruptly, holding it to his chest with a scandalised expression on his face. ‘Mm married.’
