thinking about inkheart again. like okay the entire premise of your trilogy here is that this guy sends his wife into the fictional world and brings the hot guy (that you, the author, based on your irl husband) into our world in her place. on accident, yeah, but it happens. and then the two guys spend the next 10 years trying to stay away from each other and failing. their lives inseparably intertwined. no matter how much they want to hate each other, they can't.
and in the first book they're forced to work together, and in the second book they're forced apart, and in the third book the one guy literally sells his soul to Death to bring the hot guy back to life, giving him more and hotter magic powers and binding their hearts and minds with an empathic link that transcends all boundaries. like??????
