      this was a tough one, finished with liberal use of google! cluing in this one was pretty fun--your clues for BASEBALLS and FORT are really interesting (even if i had to look them up), and i really loved the clue for AAAA! (i initially parsed the clue as [Sound you might make falling down a well, or a sound you might make falling down a very small battery], which made it very confusing haha
      i also enjoyed LOVESCENE--fun that LAB and LOVESCENE both have to do with chemistry, but in different ways :P

        So glad you enjoyed! (I did indulge my inner triviaphile in some of the cluing, it's true.)

          I was so proud of myself for getting SIRENIA with no crossers for 12A, and it wasn't even right lol. I forgot about the whales! Really fun, thanks!

            Thank you! Don’t worry, the whales have not forgotten about you. (You know what you did.) But seriously, I did not intend that to be ambiguous as well as subtle, so thanks for that flag! (I’m now adding SIRENIA to my list of entries I need to include soon!)
