It was towards the end of a fairly long fic so it wasn't immediately obvious in the uploaded version, and of course it wasn't visible in my draft. I only noticed at the end of my final editing pass, which begin a hour before reveals but which I didn't complete (and discover the html coding error) until like twenty minutes afterwards, by which time my recip had already opened the fic. /o\
