Okay, have got there eventually!

nikki - according to me, 14d links with 5. The wordplay in 24 can only lead to one answer (if you evacuate cryptic) ...

That was fun!

I've filled in the grid, but there are a couple of parsings/matchings I'm not sure of.

I think I just need a gentle nudge to be on my way, so does anybody know

- Which clue uses the answer to 26?
- Which answer completes the blank in 13?

Cheers

Have a think :)

(I'd added 'quiet giggle' to the front of that post, in greater than/less than quotes, but the forum stripped it out)

Those two work together - from the answer to 26 (leading to a 4 letter type of ????) the 'i' changes to 'o' ('love') giving the first 4 letters of 13ac.

@hamishsoup Is that supposed to mean they go together? I have five unfilled blanks but I figured that asking about just one pair would help the rest slot into place

I agree with everyone else - this was fun and very well put together.

@drxx and hamishsoup - thanks, I got it now. Serves me right for picking the two elements I found most obscure :)

That was a real delight, thanks Chameleon. A lockdown-legal walk in the park.

Having said that, I don't mind being beaten up and mugged in my leisure time. You know who I mean, Soup/Paul...
