Constructor's Note
First time constructing in Crosshare. Nice interface. Autofill is helpful. Enjoy the puzzle.
Been making puzzles for a year or two. Just trying this site.out for feedback and such. This theme just kind of happened organically as I put words into the long spaces ....then added more short entries as I finished the puzzle.
Hope you enjoy this puzzle. Shouldn't be too hard, only a few obscure-ish full entries to clue. Let me know if there's any errors you spot, think I proof read well but you always miss something, right?

Thanks for solving

            ARCHON/LUC got me. I appreciate both the clues for DID and ODING

              Thank you for the clue on ODING! Also I like NYNY opposite AGAR (which could be AGAR AGAR) and next to SISI. Good all around puzzle. I did get stuck on LOMAN/AMANA - didn't recognize either, but I don't think it's actually too tricky of a cross as much as it was an unlucky gap in my knowledge.
