    Couldn't avoid "rae" without redoing a lot of work--so I just went for it twice. Sorry everyone!

      Also, as for avoiding the double RAE, replacing BESOT with SHEET would work nicely too, I think :)

        Cool puzzle, although I think 17A linking to the middle word was a mistake? (Having 8A + 15A seems more like the one actually connected to the theme.)
        I also think OME was a bit of a natick in here - changing that one to something like ATE or ICE would be more suitable. :)
