Last night just before I should have gone to bed I read a Stargate Atlantis AU in which Rodney is raising his orphaned genius niece, Madison Meredith Miller, and John retires from Atlantis in order to read bedtime stories to 3-M.* One story was Melisande, in which mathematics and fantasy combine.
This intrigued me, so I googled and found that Melisande in a public domain collection of similarly delightful mathematically inclined original fairy tales, originally printed in 1901. Project Gutenberg includes the original illustrations as well as the complete text.

*Ok, there was actually a lot more emo and other good stuff in the SGA fic, and it's a series, which I didn't finish reading because I got side-tracked by Melisande. I feel it would be unkind to mention it without giving a link.
Life Lived as Bell's Theorem by MrsHamill
Summary:
J.S. Bell showed that if you break up a molecule and change the spin of one electron, the spin of the other electrons originally joined will immediately change too, no matter where they are.

The John and Rodney show move to Toronto and raise a child together.
