Who's to say that isn't gay? If Dumbledark and Grindlewald were, why not Riddle? For that matter, it's pretty conclusive that Riddle would do ANYTHING to become immortal.
I do wonder how and if you're going to make Harry an immortal - could he make a horcrux from Riddle's death without denting his conscience?
If, also, this is an H/HR fic, I can't see him doing it without her (if he has the stomach to do it at all) - in fact, her being the thinker and him being the doer is what always attracted me to that ship. Unlike the brains and brawn of R/HR, which is little more than petty squabbling that allows nothging to get done, H/HR is a power greater than the sum of its parts.
I wonder if you can make a horcrux by accident, or through the efforts of others - could the brotherhood make a horcrux for Harry, if it's by his hand that Voldemort is killed?
I think my brain is leaking out my ear.
