Solved. Fun puzzle.
I've really been enjoying these puzzles. Even more than the good fill and the tight themes, I find the cluing to be amazing - it looks like Evan puts a lot of effort into making the crosses kind. Thanks!

I am now hooked on these, meta or not. He has such clever ideas and his fill is always so nice - not always the easiest but constructed such that it is gettable even if you are stuck somewhere. Obviously a good Natick filter!

Thank you Evan for at least 30 minutes of pure fun! (even if I get the meta or crack the theme I finish the puzzle becuase I like his cluing and often get ideas I can steal...)
NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!
