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

Taggie O’Hara, worried that her father might ruin his reputation and begging him to leave the room with her, was not an option he had considered.

Or What if things went a little bit different when Taggie asked him to walk out of Corinium with her?

Summary
Tony Baddingham never stays late to confront Cameron. He never gets into a fight with her and never gets the shit knocked out of him by that trophy. He never bleeds out in his office.
Instead, Tony uses his brain and goes home to his wife in an attempt to fix his marriage and everything that’s threatening to crumble apart beneath him.
This leads to him having to deal with Venturer in a whole new way, including how he’ll handle Cameron’s betrayal while he and Monica attempt to make their family whole in a way it never has been. It’s not going to be easy, not with Rupert, Declan, Freddie, and everyone else in his way.
But Tony’s at his best when he’s in a tight spot.

Summary
When Tony Baddingham wakes up in a hospital bed with no recollection of who he was or what he's done, he begins an uneasy journey of self-discovery. With each passing day, he uncovers fragments of a life filled with cruelty and mistakes—none of which he remembers, but all of which he must confront.
Meanwhile, Monica and Tony struggle to rekindle the passion that once defined their relationship. As they attempt to rebuild their fragile connection, the weight of the past and the threat of future heartbreak loom large, when old secrets and new love threatens to undo them forever.
But their story is only one of many. The O’Haras, are trapped in their own world of love, loss, and secrets— facing a pivotal crossroads where honesty could either heal them or tear them apart.
Amidst this, the rivalry between two TV giants, Corinium and Venturer, escalates, pulling all their fates into the spotlight. Behind the glamour of ratings and headlines, the fight for dominance mirrors the fractured lives of those it touches, where competition breeds not only corporate warfare, but personal reckonings that no one can escape. -

Summary
Taggie takes a swig of whiskey, and the burn that scorches her throat and warms her belly is almost as good as smashing dishware. A few sips has her feeling brave and stealing glances at the phone, wondering what might happen if she calls him. If Cameron’s there, or at the apartment Rupert let slip he’s rented for her in the city. If he’ll speak to her in that careful, mild way he’s adopted as of late, as if she’s a constituent and not someone who knows what his mouth tastes like.
Feeling tipsy and a little reckless, Taggie picks up the receiver.
Or, they kissed in the kitchen, and nothing's the same. Follow Taggie and Rupert's lives in the late summer of 1987 as they fight for Venturer and for themselves.

Summary
This is a re-imagining of the gaps in episode 1x04, centered around Taggie’s time in Bar Sinister on Valentine’s Day where she fills in for Bas’s chef and cooks a curry for karaoke night.
Taggie enjoys being in charge of a kitchen, despite her anxieties regarding Rupert pre- and post-interview. (Heavy on the Taggie longing/angst/rumination.)
Rupert only makes a very brief irl appearance, but is always on Taggie’s mind.
Bas is a silly flirt.

Summary
Confined in a hospital room, Tony’s mind churned with a venomous desire for revenge. The targets: Cameron, Rupert, and Declan.
But as his thoughts festered, Tony stumbled upon a new, deliciously wicked angle - Rupert’s secret affection for the innocent Agatha O’Hara.
She became the unwilling pawn in his elaborate game.
“What’s the plan then?” Ginger asked. “Agatha. That’s the plan. Dump her somewhere. I’m sure Rupert won’t be able to hide his true emotions if anything happened to her. His reaction will be seen by both Declan and Cameron... It’s fucking brilliant!”
He saw her not as a person, but as a tool, a means to inflict maximum emotional damage on his rivals.
Taggie, now missing, became the centre of everyone's distress, especially Rupert, who was realising just how much his heart belonged to her. The woods became his frantic search ground alongside Bas, as Declan and Cameron embarked on their own urgent mission.
Meanwhile, Lizzie turned to Freddie for comfort after she wrestled with a disturbing request from James and Tony. In the heart of it all, Taggie found herself living her greatest fear—lost, injured, and agonising over her loyal companion, Gertrude.

Après/ After 1x08...
Hello English-speaking friends.
I am French and I live in France. My English is very bad. However, you can do an automatic translation by going to your search engine settings.
Enjoy !
_______Après l’avoir embrassé, Rupert ne pouvait pas lâcher cette femme qui se tenait devant lui. Il ne pouvait pas enlever ses mains qui tenaient encore sa taille fine. Le regard de la jeune femme rempli d’un flot d’émotions était posé sur lui comme une empreinte indélébile. Ce baiser représentait tellement la réponse qu’il attendait. Depuis plusieurs mois, il savait qu’il désirait cette femme mais ce baiser représentait plus que du désir, il représentait un sentiment bien plus profond.

Summary
“I am correct in thinking you are an official item, yes? It would do no good for you to be out gallivanting around with your partner’s much younger daughter if you aren’t a serious couple, especially given your penchant for women.”
Rupert feels a smile tugging at the corners of his lips, finally seeing where Lady Gosling was heading this whole time, and Rupert being Rupert, impulsively jumps at the opportunity he sees laid out before him, “Oh absolutely, Lady Gosling. You are only too right, of course, and the last thing we want is to hurt our chances for the franchise.”
Rupert reaches a hand out to Taggie, and almost in a daze, she delicately places her own hand into his, which he holds up in front of him, his eyes locked onto the very stunned pair staring up at him, and he just can’t help himself; “Isn’t that right, darling?” He murmurs into her knuckles before pressing a soft kiss to them.
Or; Rupert's reputation is a problem for the franchise, the solution? Fake dating Taggie to show he's a changed man.

Summary
“So it’s true what they say. You work twice as hard as any man and none is half as good as you.” He pulls her back in with practiced ease. He’s earnest and eager and looking at her like he wants to devour her once he's finished interrogating every inch of her brain and committing it to memory. Scary. Terrifying, even, but in the way that makes her heart pound pleasantly.
It's the 1950s. Taggie O'Hara is caught up in living up to her late father's legacy when she's offered the role of producer on an upcoming news programme. Rupert Campbell-Black is to be the face of the show, craving the same pressure that once forged him the Olympic gold. Their lives intertwine as they try to unravel the world around them in sixty-minute segments.
