Summary
“Don’t you trust me?” Taggie asks.
It slips out before she has the opportunity to decide whether it’s childish, manipulative or simply true.
Rupert snorts softly.
“You know better than to ask stupid questions, angel.” he says, and when she tugs his hand again, this time he comes without the slightest resistance.
or, Taggie takes care of Rupert

Summary
Venturer won. Tony Baddingham lost. But in Rutshire, defeat is just another weapon.
While Rupert Campbell-Black celebrates, his enemies circle: Tony seducing Maud, Cameron fleeing one trap for another, Taggie O'Hara, innocent, stubborn, falling for the man who will complicate everything, Lizzie and Freddie finally find their courage. And someone inside Venturer is feeding Tony everything.
When the masks slip at the final bidding, the scandal explodes: blackmail, betrayals, Infidelity, and bloodied hands.
Love here costs everything. The only question is who pays? -

Summary
Taggie’s entire life fits inside two small cases. It’s a little surprising, at first, looking around her bare bedroom, hands outstretched, like she’s waiting for something else to materialize on the blank, white walls or stripped bed frame. Leaving London was different; she was so directionless then, drifting along in the wake of Mummy’s ire and Declan’s frisson. But Rutshire had been home.
At least for a little bit.
or, taggie leaves for london before the franchise decision and doesn't reunite with her family until christmas.

Summary
Suddenly, Taggie felt entirely lost. There it was again, that dark look of self-hatred in his eyes. She had seen that look before, when they had talked about Helen and how he believed himself utterly incapable of making anyone happy. It had broken her heart then to hear how poorly he saw himself, and it shattered her all over again now. All this time, through every agonizing day they had spent apart, he had been sitting here in the dark, believing he deserved every bit of it.
Or: Where Taggie follows her heart once more and how that leads her straight to Penscombe in the middle of the night.

Summary
David Tennant saying that Tony 'does something nefarious in the bushes' during the bonfire night ep made me wonder if he might try to burn the Priory down...
If Taggie and the rest of the O'Haras make it out of the fire but have nowhere to go, which kind neighbour with the biggest house would take them in?
Rupert. Campbell. Black.
NOTE: Based on the theory that Cameron and Rupert break up in ep 7 and the fire happens in ep 8 or later.

Secrets I have held in my heart (are harder to hide than I thought) by Tamara267

Summary
Taggie had long since decided she was in this for the long run, and she was sure that meant they would each have to give the other a hand from time to time. It could not always be that Rupert was up while she was down. It was time to return the favour.
Or, a Season Two fic that started life as "Five times Rupert saved Taggie and One time she saved them both". Picks up a month and a bit after 1x08.
