Hi, great solutions – just a note that you need to mark LOVEBUG, because it’s not accepted!
Happy Friday and have a great weekend!
@Irim: Oh, nice catch, yes, LOVEBUG should have been LOVEBUGʷ. Thank you. Although not accepted I think my fav overall is LOVEBUGʷ—GIRLFRANʷ, nice TI. Happy Friday!

Love the OA, except I tripped over FUNEBRIAL first, and was furious when LOVEBUG wasn’t a word. How is that actual animal and an endearment not an accepted word?!
Anyway, my accepted solution is FUNEBRIAL-LIVEBLOG, but my heart is with FUNEBRIAL-LOVEBUG(everywhere but Sam’s imagination).
RF & Kanishk, my lovelies, hoping to see you soonest!
Good luck, everyone, and happy Friday!
FORGIVEN – NEBULAR. Extra R it is for me.
Good job to us Miss Irim. Waiting on Kanishk-boy.
UNFORGIVEN – NEOLIBERAL
Now there’s one I wish I’d gotten, because it is absolutely true.
UNFORGIVEN NEBULAR.

Forgiven & Nebula
OA after many FLUBs. Apparently I have been spelling Bougainvillea wrong my whole life. 🙂

Airborne gunfire echoed over a foul grave. A brave alien and his Varangian rival, suffering beriberi, ceased to argue over vague granular data. Never before had this happened. Nearby a raven a frog and a forlorn liberal girl hid. Revolver in one hand , floral verbena in the other, she pierced the veil for a brief moment to reveal love forever.
