Title: Playing with Fire
Fandom: CSI Miami
Characters: Horatio Caine, Eric Delko, Calleigh Duquesne, Ryan Wolfe, Detective Frank Tripp, original characters, other canon characters.
Content Notes: Case!fic, grisly crime scene imagery, referenced and implied rape, referenced and implied torture, canon related violence
Rating: Teen and up
Summary: The job of a forensic investigator is to remain as objective as possible, and to be the voice of the evidence. However, Horatio Caine finds that objectivity is difficult to do when he is dead set on bringing two women back home to their loved ones. When the disappearance of a university student sparks life into another case, Horatio is sure that he can bring a monster to justice and fulfill the promise he made to a grieving mother about her lost daughter.
Author's Note: In terms of timeline, this story is set during season three. Shortly after Ryan Wolfe joined the team and started to settle in and the time that Natalia Boa Vista left the FBI to join Horatio at the crime lab. For the sake of plot, I have decided to start this story in the middle of another forensic investigation, but at the start of another investigation into the disappearance of a young woman.
As Horatio is a forensic investigator, he is expected by both his peers and those within the legal system to speak for the evidence, and not for the victims or the perpetrator. He is expected to remain composed and to be as objective as possible when it comes to his job, but sometimes it is very difficult to not be subjective when it comes to working on cases.
For this story, I really wanted to explore Horatio's character as he struggles to do what is right for the victims, but also to remain as professional as he should be while on the job. Horatio always seemed to be the sort of character that never allowed for his emotions to be easily read, but everyone suffers. It's just people like Horatio seem to suffer in silence, even if it means that they are harming themselves in the long run because they can no longer cope.
