Rewrite of A Druid's Calling

Her mission is waylaid when she is kidnapped and infected by Illithids.

But when she meets a kindred spirit, saving the world from a mind-controlling cult isn't the only thing distracting her from her intended path.

Summary
Red, the Dark Urge, has a crush on Wyll, the Blade of Frontiers. Astarion is reluctant matchmaker.
Wyll Ravengard has been hunting monsters for a long time. One approaching him for help with redemption is a first, but he's not the sort of man to give up without a fight.
The vibe of this in-game fic is dark rom com, and the usual warnings for Dark Urge apply. Also not necessary to read the pre-canon story for this to enjoy. Go ahead and click for horrors and humor and horrible humor.

Summary
After the fall of the Absolute, Gale and Tavrin Dekarios try to adjust to a new life of normalcy in Waterdeep. However, rumors of Tav's heritage as a Bhaalspawn set a mysterious and powerful force after her blood for unknown ends, and it wants her alive. Gale is determined to protect her, but with so many potential enemies from both the recent past and that which she has forgotten, this proves a monumental task.
When her past comes back to haunt her, that's just the beginning of their troubles...Because the threat of relapse is nipping at Tav's heels. And there's one body they never had the chance to destroy.
Enver Gortash.
-------
The Dark Urge is named Tavrin, a Drow Rogue.
Lots of Forgotten Realms lore incorporated, but altered as needed to fill gaps, work around inconsistencies, or make for better storytelling.Durgetash is a past relationship, so those scenes are flashbacks starting in chapter 9.
