Rub-a-dub-dub
Three men in a tub;
And who do you think they be?
The butcher, the baker,
The candlestick maker;
All scrubbing their way out to sea.
-Classic Nursery Rhyme
The Twilight ficdom oozes with supernatural creatures, yet is surprisingly devoid of magic. That’s why I love reading anything penned by Ciaobella27, in all of its fairy tale delight!
Don’t balk. I don’t mean that kind of fairy tale—not the dime a dozen Cinderella knock-off in which rich, handsome Lord Edward rescues poor servant Isabella and makes her his beautiful princess. Ciaobella27’s fics pay homage to more imaginative ::cough*less chauvinistic*cough:: tales that feature far more interesting characters; and her control of the story arc combined with her acerbic wit will leave you bewitched. Besotted. Ensorcelled.
The Baker’s Magic Buns reads like the mother of all nursery rhymes, and teems with characters you have surely forgotten. With Wee Willie Winkie, the Mad Hatter, and exactly Seven Dwarves running amok in Storybook Land, it is Mother Goose meets Alice through the Looking Glass meets Disney.
And so begins the tale. With its dozens of oddly neurotic citizens, Storybook Land needs nothing if not a good shrink. Who better to take over the retired Mother Goose’s psychiatric practice than her niece, the venerable Dr. Swan?
But, boy does Bella have her work cut out for her: the White Rabbit struggles with OCD; Snow White has an unhealthy attachment to her woodland creature entourage; and the trauma of seeing the wolf in grandma’s clothing left Little Red Riding Hood with a touch of PTSD.
And, what of Edward, the Baker, who can barely face Bella for terror of his own magic buns? That wasn’t a euphemism. It seems that when women, erm…taste…Edward’s buns, they can’t help falling in love with their maker. This fact has turned Edward into a basket case, which is why his best friends, the Butcher (Emmett) and the Candlestick Maker (Jasper) insisted that he see Dr. Swan. Will Bella be able to cure Edward of his social anxiety or will she succumb to the usual fate?
I won’t tell you what happens, but I will tell you that Bella’s friends the Queen of Hearts (Rosalie) and that girl from Wonderland (Alice) interfere. And there may be some really funny parts about keeping those horny bitches Goldilocks and Old Mother Hubbard away from Baker Edward’s (this time it is a euphemism à) magical buns 
So, go read it. Then review it. Then vote for it in the “Best Short Fiction” category for The Eddies. And if you love Ciaobella27 after that (which you will), go read “Living Backwards”. Then tweet me for moral support when you’re dying for updates. Yes, it’s come to that.
