Fics like an overdeveloped affinity for spite

Okay, strictly speaking, Regulus's plan was to destroy the Horcrux without drinking any of the potion. But he'd planned out a meticulous counter-ritual, aided by an incredibly disrespectful rummaging through Father's study immediately after the funeral, that would extract the soul piece from the container and extinguish it, leaving the container intact as a sort of... well, a trophy. Something to wave in the Dark Lord's face at the inevitable moment of reveal. He'd assumed Horcruxes were impervious to Fiendfyre, because really, it's a basic destructive force. What's the point of going through with the ritual to create one if it can be destroyed by an over-eager eight-year-old? However, it seems that Horcruxes are not, in fact, impervious to Fiendfyre, and Regulus may have just destroyed the soul piece, as well as the container with it. Oops.
