We all make mistakes. The recip is unintentionally making their friend feel bad, right now. If the friend says nothing and lets the fic go live with their name on it without saying something, they're making the recip feel embarrassed on purpose. No, the recip shouldn't be complaining about their gift in a public or semi-public space, but at the same time, the recip doesn't fucking know the entire situation right now, either. The best way to approach it is for the author to get ahead of it in a matter-of-fact fashion, and then if the friend blows up the friendship over it, THEN they're worth letting go.

The recip-friend doesn't intend to make the writer-friend feel bad by complaining because they don't know it was the writer-friend who wrote it, but nevertheless the complaining is making the writer-friend feel bad. What's lolwhat about that?

No worries, pretty sure I got everyone switched around while I was talking, too.

Assuming they’re not very stupid the recipient knows they’re talking shit about the fic they received in a place where the author could see it. That’s the situation and the wronged friend doesn’t have to be the bigger person by explaining the obvious possibility to them.
