Not exactly APB because I don't fully understand LXS yet.

@Puzzle Maniac LXS is basically just solving the final cross edge and the pair at the same time, but with the beginner version you can solve either one first then insert the other. So you could solve the final cross edge then make the pair and insert, or you can solve the pair then use S moves to solve the final cross edge. Your solve is pretty much APB, so don't worry about it, you seem to have a pretty good grasp of the method right now. If you want you can use the APB Megadoc link in the first post and use those algs or just reference them if you want to have a more APB-like solve, but you can keep figuring it out yourself if that's what you like more.

Also for the BR Pair you could have done this instead since you don't have to worry about fixing the cross edge with CFOP, and this is the standard EO alg for that specific case.

I did this one fully on CubeDB, so I may have missed something obvious that I would have seen with an actual cube, though I still liked the FB solution, I think it was pretty good for me.
