I want to give recs, but I'm scared of what may come up if I Google "science smut"
alexzOP
oh, maggie, you should see yesterday’s search history…
....should I be scared?
alexzOP
probs yes.
I've decided that since I have time and no charged brain cells, I will be using the incognito tab as God intended: for science smut
alexzOP

nonfic: The Rise of Yeast: How Civilization Was Shaped by Sugar Fungi by Nicholas Money smut: fermentation by Angelica jacob
alexzOP
