25d. Term of endearment, equivalent of 'love' (4). D?C? Clearly DUCH but I can't parse it -- both parts of the clue seem simply to fit. What simple thing am I missing, people?

Last one has me beaten yet again. 26d. Bowled - certainly not a fast ball! - for a duck. B - OB. B + LOB I suppose. But why a duck? Is this a duck I don't know?

Last one yet again! 13a. The charts moved apart, leather-bound? (3, 6). H - T / - A -A - E. I can think of phrases which fit, but they don't fit the clue. I know I'll kick myself as I usually do.
