Summary
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.

Summary
"We don’t drown. We float. That’s how Muggles used to tell, isn’t it?"
-
When Regulus is five, he nearly drowns in the sea off Blackpool.
When Regulus is eleven, his brother befriends a ghost.
It’s not until Regulus is eighteen and ready to die that the Black family’s darkest secret finally unravels. It might, perhaps, change everything.
(A coming-of-age story with mind magic, star charting, pink petit-fours, two diaries, and a ghost.)

Summary
After Sirius leaves home, the only way that Regulus will allow his brother anywhere near him is when Sirius is in dog-form. Regulus has no idea that the Grim-like creature he shares secrets and bacon sandwiches with is his brother. He has no idea, that is, until he tries to say goodbye to 'Snuffles' for the last time, and his canine friend finally reveals his human form.
(written for the HP Animagus Fest 2021)

Summary
When Regulus is fifteen, Riddle’s congregation move from London to begin a new life in the remote Scottish highlands. Regulus has his friends, but he misses the one person who held his childhood together: his brother.
When Riddle becomes more extreme, both in public and in private, Regulus realises he wants out. After two years of social isolation, he still remembers his estranged brother's mobile number. It's a long shot, but it's his only way out.

Summary
Barty started Hogwarts with very few choices: be good (boring), obey his father (no thank you), or fully embrace the “practically evil” house he got chucked into (yes, that one).
How else, as a deeply talented, incredibly witty, and yes, perhaps slightly arrogant and depraved individual, could he get the attention of Evan Rosier?
Sure, Regulus called Evan a psychopath, and yes, Evan didn’t ever talk, or smile, or touch Barty with anything other than the tip of a knife, but Barty found him terribly misunderstood.
And Jesus fucking Christ, would Evan take them on the adventure of a lifetime – scars, sexual experiments, cave diving, Inferii, and perhaps even a little murder or ten. It was all done in the name of fun and freedom. And besides: Sinners die twice!
