Title: Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy
Author: DizzyDrea
Summary: No one knows who they really are.
Rating: T
Spoilers: None in particular
Author's Notes: This was the first drabble I'd ever written. I liked the idea of writing something about each of the members of SG-1, based on the title of this book (Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy), but I couldn't seem to wrap my head around doing it as a full-length story. Then I stumbled on drabbles, and this is the result. With apologies to John LeCarre, from whose book I borrowed the title.
Disclaimer: Stargate and all its particulars is the property of MGM, Gekko, Double Secret, Acme Shark and a lot of other people who aren't me. I am doing this for fun and for practice. Mostly for fun.

Tinker
Sam's always wanted to know how things work.
She took apart her mom's toaster when she was eight. She rebuilt her motorcycle from the ground up.
It's what makes her a good theoretical physicist. Insatiable curiosity. The drive for knowledge.
But for the life of her, she can't seem to make a relationship work.
In science, there are rules. Things work a certain way and that's it. And an engine can only fit together one way and still turn over.
But relationships? Too many variables. Too many ways for it all to go wrong.
She'll stick with astrophysics. It's easier.
