Don't normally get totally floored with e. variations, but failed completely to complete the unclued not real words part. Managed the basic theme. Too late for posting now, but intrigued as to what the setter was looking for.

Shall just have to wait until the answers are published next week. I hope I will be able to understand it then. I think the EV are getting even more and more obtuse these days....enjoy the challenge, but do find it frustrating when the 'theme' doesn't click with me.
The top three across words are RED WHITE and BLUE.
The "connections" are all associated with the words so we have STREAK for a connection between BLUE and WHITE.
26 across is COMMUNION and 30 across is OFLAG. Together these show UNION and FLAG which is red, white and blue.
But what is 7 down - it has E from the end of WHITE, V from VAGUE which is 16 across and the A from STREAK
