I hate that they're still available and that I have no control over it.
I'm sorry this happened to you.
And you're right, it's a thorny problem.
I think I'm most at sea because the fics in question are well-written, and it seems that the writers aren't ashamed of the pieces, per se. Instead, they seem to have soured on the fandom for outside reasons, and for them the context is irrevocably linked to the fic. It isn't for anyone else, though.
I've experienced the same dilemma as a writer, though, like you have. There's fic of mine on online erotica archives, and every query I've made to the mods to have it removed has been ignored. In those cases, though, it's because I don't like having abandoned WiPs lingering around, but I'm also uncomfortable with the email I get from readers.
