Sorry lief is right. I was thinking of filing a will

[S21DanReb]

Thank you bibblebub and Calibax. Can see why it is lagoon now. And lief, did wonder if it was an anagram. Can see why you would say muffled, but if I am right with 1d and it is 'netball', then 10a would start with a 'b' - b???l?d. If it is muffled could 2d be 'set free' then?

[factor-fiction]

baffled rather than muffled?

[factor-fiction]

netball, set free and baffled- do they all fit together
Fiction looks good for 14d- does it fit?

[S21DanReb]

Hi factor- fiction, yes they would all fit in together, and fiction is good. This has been a hard crossword and I really appreciated all your help.
