My gift was quite excellent. A few rough spots, but much better than I dared hope for, certainly, and it was juicily long (6k)! Upon reveals, it turns out it was written by someone I've known for years, whom I talked into doing Yuletide with me. They confessed that when they got matched to me, they'd already started writing the fic (because WE had been discussing the idea in DMs!), except I was under the impression they hadn't offered this fandom so I had no issue asking them about how their own gift-writing was going. Which meant they'd been lovingly lying to me for like three months

10/10 experience, very fun. (I'm not being sarcastic, if that's unclear, it was just genuinely delightful shenanigans and "IT WAS YOU? BUT HOW!" come reveals day. They're becoming a pretty good writer!)
