Ruined - 'i(llusio)n' (hollow, in) 'rued' (regretted)
Nickelodeon - 'lo(ok)' (in) 'nicked + eon'
Acre - 'r(un)' (in) 'ace' (great)
Double-cross - 'XX' - 20, Roman numerals
Befitting - 'if' (uncertainty, reflected; back, in) 'betting'
Ru i(llusio)n ed
Nicke Lo d eon(period)
Ace - great + R
20 = XX
Betting + if (uncertainty) reversed
1a: regretted = RUED, hollow illusion = I(llusio)N
RU in ED

11d: captured = NICKED, period = EON, look = LO
NICKE lo D EON
