when they were going on in school about the reasons learning math is good for you, no one ever mentioned 'One day you might find yourself ficcing arrogantly brilliant scientific geniuses.'

Also, I have so much love for this fic! It's infinite kinds of brilliant. ♥ (And I'm off to read it now with my very very late breakfast.)
