Re: ayrt spoilers
True, there were other fics that also had underage sex, slavery, teacher/student, etc. but were they all found in the same story? The only thing I am absolutely sure of was the drama and the author quitting fandom/deleting the penname. Many authors have been driven out of fandom because of wank. I'm not happy they had to leave, but I'm thankful for their contributions to fandom.
If you're looking for a fic similar to Cambiare Podentes, but where Snape and Harry "talk things out and learn to understand each other and stop making assumptions" and everything was "awesome forever", I suggest My Man Friday by Enahma. It is no longer found online though.

(Anonymous) 2012-08-06 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)Wow, I was looking for it and I see the author chiming in in some places to not have the fic archived or linked to. Even the wayback machine doesn't have it. (but, you know, internet, that won't stop people from sharing. thanks for the rec!)
My obsession with saving every single story I like to my hard-drive was not misplaced then.
I can only imagine what kind of nasty comments were sent the author's way that it convinced them to take the fic down forever.
Re: ayrt spoilers
I think it is worth it to save a copy of faved stories. I've seen stories
-lost because of archive deaths
-taken down by archive mods
-removed by authors' friends as a prank
-taken down for re-writes but the re-write projects were never completed
-taken down by hackers
-removed because of real-life copyright notices
-taken down because the stories were flamed
-taken down because the author was driven out of fandom by trolls
-removed because the author was in the process of becoming/became a published author
-removed because the author doesn't want their fanfiction online anymore due to difference in their view of fanfic/job requirement/discovery by family/discovery by real-life friends/other real-life issues/etc.
The internet makes it both easier to find and archive stories and easier to lose stories. Hanging out on fic finding communities is heartbreaking because they are usually the first to realize when authors have left fandom, stories are taken down, and when archives are lost.
To end on a less sombre note - I hope you manage to find a copy of the story. Happy reading!
