A "direction" is missing from the wordplay of each clue - (could be "any form" of direction eg NNE or R(right) etc..)

7a Lives in abandon(6) ?I????... was maybe thinking "disuse"? but I can't see the direction?

17d Spooner's fighting 'usky (8) O?T?O??? ( I don't know why but there is no defn for this oe)

The lack of a definition in 17d seems odd, so if as in 7a there's a "direction" word missing from 17d, how about something like -

Spooner's fighting 'usky (is travelling/leaving...) (?)
