and blue is pretty nice on this one. xcross and the first pair is easy to spot from inspection:
R2 D F2 L' D2 L U' F D R2 D2 F2 B L2 F' U2 L2 U2 L2 B'
 
I randomly got my PB time of 11.74 today with this scramble: B2 R2 D' U2 L2 B2 U2 F2 L2 F2 L' B L2 B R2 D' F' R' L2 D2 U'
Super easy x-cross and j-perm. I have been cubing off and on the last few months, so this was very surprising.

I don't remember my solution to the 2nd scramble, but here's what I did for the others.

Just posting this because the F2L I did was exceptionally easy, 20 moves in total. For a full-step F2L, this would almost certainly be the easiest I've ever had, nice LL as well.
