This isn't a complaint, but I need to say it:

My treat recip's main gift is in the same fandom I wrote for them. The fic is completely different from mine in both style and subject matter, and I hope the recip enjoys both takes on the fandom. However: ooohh my goodness, it's so much better than mine! Like, really breathtakingly detailed and clever and well-researched and beautifully written. I'm not even jealous, I'm just in awe.

As someone who is in an analogous situation as the author of the main gift, I am really happy that Probably-Not-You wrote the treat!

Sure, it probably merits a lower Technical Score than my fic, but it fills what I felt were some glaring deficits in my fancy overwritten one. I feel much better about my own fic now, not because it looks better by comparison but because I felt our recip had been short-changed a little by my fic, and now I don't.

Two cakes, coalie!
