9a refers to a theme among across solutions- is there one or is that just part of the clue I haven’t understood (although I’ve got the answer)?

The theme is in the ordering of 3 letters in each of the across solutions (which does not apply to 9 across)

Thank you! Lovely- I had missed that entirely.
In all the across clues or just some of them? Mine certainly don't have the same 3 letters in all. Prob me!!
Three consecutive letters of the alphabet eg ABC, DEF, STU etc etc
Phew!! I'm correct.
Thanks.
Doh! Did not spot the theme either. And still can't parse 12 across: "Guard have mainly brave aim" (6). Presumably the answer is "Defend", which has the DEF for the theme, and "end" for aim - but why "mainly brave?
Def(y) = brave
