Done and done. I was briefly thrown off by a red herring (yes, even in this puzzle), but that same red herring showed me the way to shore, too. I'll explain Monday.

Found lots of dead ends but finally caught the bunny. On shore and ready for a martini.

On shore quickly. I don't understand the trepidation; I already submitted. I can't imagine getting this one wrong.

Ashore. Tread lightly (didn't want to have to spell out trepidatiously).
'tis... A lovely day for a Guinness!

Well I did that the hard way. Just as I was finding the last piece, I noticed something that should have been obvious from the get go.

Wendy, sorry about 25D😉

Ashore after spending the entire Super Bowl weekend with Isaac. After an initial rabbit hole to nowhere, I saw the path to the solution fairly quickly.

As far as I'm concerned, anything about the Three Musketeers should carry a trigger warning!
Good luck, fellow Muggles!

I'm guessing that your red herring is the same one that jumped out at me, too!
Good luck, fellow Muggles!
