Luckily we know we can fix party issue by doing either
{} = R B2 U2 R or {} = L U2 F2 L
the latter gives 2e2e+slice directly so we do that.
And then 2e2e solves nicely with
(L2 B2 L2 B2 L2 ^^ B2) //slice 6-3 2/22
^=w
^^=Uw' U //+2/24
Almost got bailed out from not finding any good DRs (this and 4c4 in 10 were the best ones) but unlucky slices give 24 in the end. Kind of deserved tbh...
Horrible that I had to use 12 move DR but at least it had 4 variations so it was still propably going to give 23-24. It is 23 opt but not trivial since there were variationsit needs 1 move longer LS that I had and it happens to be +0.

Had so many 10 move DRs but all except this one were 4-5qt.
Also the 8 move DR but it was 4c4 and seemed hopeless. And NISSY confirms that it is 22 opt and all optimals seem unfindable (either 6qt or some DR breaking nonsense...)

DR is 22 optimal by switching L D2 L. I was so close to finding that but there were so many HTR variations that I didn't quite get there in time..

Unique optimal from DR!
Happy with this since I found the non-trivial (at least for me) DR and then unique optimal from that via double slice.
Also ties cubelib with my settings.

Also had this:

Non-trivial optimal from DR. Had to use 4qt 4a2 -> 4a1 2e -> 0c0 2e path.
There were some 22s but I didnt have time to exhaustively check all 4 move EOs fro rzp in 5 so kind of okay to miss those.

Rzp in 7, DR in 13 and 9 move finish...
I was looking for 6 move rzps since scramble sucks but happened to see the 7 to 3c2e.
Then after switching I just solved the shortest DR anyway since I already switched. And it just happened to be straight in the 5 move trigger. So I just tried the 2 possible 5 move HTRs and instantly found this :D

Optimal from these 2 DRs. There is 19 to slice with NISS HTR that I had but slice sucks.
Overwhelming scramble. So many 10 move DRs to check that I couldn't check them all.

I really wanted to get U R L type DR to try HTR-1s / HTR-2s stuff :D
Of course I also checked the 2 mover but DR in 11, from R' B (L) rzp, was the best I could do.
And I argue that U R L DR in 12 is better than "normal" DR in 11.
Especially since my DR in 11 was 2c4. But here that 2c4 happened to have a 10 move finish :DDD
"Unfortunately" here optimal was not of the HTR-2s form but rather "normal" HTR-1s form:
D R2 L2 U L2 U' //HTR 6/18
B2 D2 //"FR" for the slice we try to solve here 2/20

Only decent set of DRs I had.
This was the kind of scramble where my lack of 5 move EO knowledge usually causes issues.
But this time luckily one of the EOs I did find was the "correct" one.
Also there are no sliceEO skips and only one 1 move sliceEO so nothing there either...
Only thing better than this that cubelib gives is 22 from 2+3 NISS EO so I'm not finding that without getting extremely lucky.

Unfortunately it looks kind of doomed. Shortest linear HTRs are 9 moves and other side is stacked corners.
Now I left out the F B and did HTR-1s //-2/8
(F2 D' B2 L2 {U R2 U' R2 U) //HTR-1s 9/17
(L2 D2} [B2 L2 F B']) //double slice 6/23
[]= F B U2 //slice -2/21
{}= Uw R2 Uw' R2 Uw2 U' L2 Dw2 //+1/22
Only "decent" DR I found anad just got lucky with it. Everything was bad subset.
Also had these DR-1s:
U' D B2 U D2 R' D2 R //2c4-1s in 8 and variations. But shortest edge fixes dont improve the subset so doomed.
(R D2 L' U2 L2 B' R2 B) //4b5-1s in 8 but horrible subset and shortest edge fixes dont improve the subset so also hopeless.

DR opt.
Also had:
(R2 D R' L) (D') (F' B' D2 B U) //2c3 2e in 10. 21opt.
And since there were not that many sub5 EOs and some slice EO skips I again also checked for DR-fe. There were 2 DR-2s in 6:
. //E slice EO on R/L (all flipped)
U' B' D' B2 U F //2c4-2s in 6
and
. //E slice EO on U/D (all flipped) + 7c8e rzp
B2 U' B R' B R //2c3-2s in 6
I only had time to look at the first one but the best I could find in time was:
U' B' D' B2 U F //DR-2s 6/6
U D' //DR-1s 2/8
(R2 # D) //2c3-1s 4e with edges setup for slicing 2/10
D2 [F R2 U2 B'] R2 F //HTR-1s 7-1/16
U2 R L //2e2e 3/19
#= R2 D2 L2 U2 L2 D2 //slice 6-3/22
[]=Fw' F2 R2 U2 Bw' //+1/23
There is a much easier to see 22 that I somehow missed...
After HTR-1s just do: F2 L2 F2 U2 R L U2 //solved in 22

THIS IS THE COOLEST SOLVE OF MY LIFE!
If you are active on FMC discord you have probably heard of the development of new DR-fe method.
So here it is in action!
First we notice that all E-slice edges are already oriented on both normal and inverse.
(.) //E slice edges oriented
(R') //DR-fe rzp 3c2e for U/D 1/1
(D2 L U L) //DR-2s meaning DR-some flipped edges that need 2 slice moves to fix. 4/5
(L' R') //DR-1s 2-2/5
F2 D' B2 [U R L] //DR 4b2 2e 6/11 with lots of variations 6/11 you can also do it without F2 but it gives 2c4.
(B2 U2 R2 {B' D2 B}) //shortest HTR on inverse so we can "whack the variations" 6/17
[]= U' F2 R' L' //+1/18 just go through the DR line and try to build blocks. LOTS of +1 variations availible
U2 B2 //leave S slice 2-1/19
{}= B2 F L2 F' //+1/20
I'm SO HAPPY with this! 5 to DR-1s is very rare and I knew the expected optimal is like 14-15 moves from that. So I spent all of my time on this since even getting opt+2 would mean like 22 that is a good result for me.
This is NOT optimal from DR-1s but I dont mind. I didnt realise that you can also try to solve the slice in the DR line. Here doing
F2 U' L2 D' F2 L' R' instead of my DR line gives +0 slice for 19 that is optimal for this DR-1s.
This was like the perfect scramble to do DR-fe since there were not that many sub5 EOs but one axis was only 2 flipped edges meaning we will have several slices/axis where slice EO is already done.

Optimal from DR.
Also had:
(L') D' L //EO
F' D (F' R2 B D2 B' D) //4c3 in 11 that looks promising. Also 23 opt.
23 is the best cubelib gives without NISS 5 movers or rzp in 6. Buut there is this 19 with +3 rzp from 3 move EO that some people will probably find since people are so good nowadays:
D' L' (L') // eolr (3/3)
(F B D') // rzpfb-eolr (3/6)
(R2 D2 R2 F' D) // drfb-eolr [4b2 4e] (5/11)
B R2 F B L2 D2 F' // htr-drfb (7/18)
L2 // fin (1/19)
