Summary
This fic answers all the questions you never had about the Rutshire universe:
What if Taggie went to work at Bar Sinister?
What if we got more of Bas Baddingham, the best himbo in all of Rutshire?
What if there was a love triangle?
What if Taggie got to bonk like everyone else?
Picks up after the end of 1x08 and that kitchen kiss.
Immediately after Rupert and Taggie kiss in the kitchen, a distraught Cameron appears at the Priory, reeling from her fight with Tony. In an attempt to take care of her and protect the Venturer bid, a conflicted Rupert moves Cameron into Penscombe.
Meanwhile, Bas Baddingham begins to take a more active interest in Taggie O'Hara. After all, his best friend has clearly broken her heart, and it's just the polite thing to do.
When Bas needs a last-minute date to the Hunt Ball, he calls the Priory. Taggie, heartbroken and pining for Rupert, is bullied by Caitlin into going with Bas. After all, if the rest of Rutshire can have stupid, silly fun, why shouldn't she?
What could possibly go wrong?
In this fic: We laugh, we cry, Taggie is a bit more self-actualized, and Bas is never wearing enough clothes.

Summary
Kara is at the end of her nursing shift when a violent man is brought in with an arrow wound. When he spits blood on her, Kara is transported elsewhere. Soon she's doing emergency wound care on book characters and trying not to lose it. She can't watch people suffer even if it isn't real, but Aragorn is very suspicious of a woman who tells no clear story and smells like an orc.
“Stranger things have happened than you or I have years to tell of it," Gandalf said. "Why does she unsettle you? Surely you do not feel threatened. I am tolerably certain you could defeat her if it came to violence.”
Aragorn scoffed at his gentle humor. “I’m glad to amuse you. There are more dangers than warriors and swords. Need I tell a wizard that?"
“I can assure you she is not evil and has not a whisper of magic.”
“Yet a beautiful woman appears directly in our path, leagues from civilization, and immediately gains the hobbits’ trust. No wizardry, you say?”
Kara was not *unhappy* at being called a beautiful woman (although his standards for human women, as opposed to elves, were probably low), but she was unhappy to be stuck eavesdropping. She’d seen this scene too many times in movies. They would definitely see her.- Language:
