Not on this site but "Return" by Darkmind

Many, even most, MC stories that even begin to touch on the subject tend to operate on the assumption that the changes are effectively permanent.

So the mind-control doesn't "wear off," the closest they could get to it is some "deeper" part of the persona might try to resurface on its own over time, but they'd still be subjected to nearly all of the associated changes all the same.

Otherwise it will involve someone trying to help "deprogram" the victim, either through use of mind control themselves, or other, far more gradual means. But again, in nearly all cases the underlying mind control "hooks" remain in place until they're explicitly removed by some means.

Although I guess there is a honorable mention that should go out to the MC stories where the effects are indeed temporary, but that typically moves into it being used "recreationally."

What would happen if Master dies -whether by an accident or crime- and didn't have the chance to "deprogram" the slave?

I can see the slave waking up as if in a long, deep dream, dressed in strange clothes, with her body changed and her last memories being those immediately before her mental takeover years ago. It can easily become a horror story.

I remember reading a story where at the end the master dies in his sleep while his slave was imprisoned in the dungeon. They lived alone so she starved to death.

I remember being traumatized by the ending to a story where the girl manages to escape from some place with her free will apparently intact but then a compulsion kicks in and she finds herself using a pay phone to get herself returned.

I found that to be a very cruel ending.
