D&D 5e game:I have two planets orbiting each other.

1200 years ago it was just a moon, then somehow the moon fell and almost ended the world.

But the next day there was a moon again.

Really it's another version of the same world from a parallel timeline. The act of summoning it led the powers that be to seal the system in a bubble plane to keep the chaos from spreading.

The wizard who did it fell in love with himself from another timeline. The BBEG is two liches who are each other's phylactery. If both cannot be defeated before the first revives, there is no way to stop them.

Such a tragic story, to do that much for love and then only be vulnerable when you're near your love.

Their name is Zeitounessian, and I have a party on each world trying to stop him.

Neither party has yet determined that there are two of him.

I did the gaybro liches before. It was a PF1 game where 3 of the party members wanted to be goblins. We had an Alchemist (burny), a Barbarian (Bitey) and a gunslinger (shooty). The last player wanted to a be human witch. The player was kind of dumb, but the character got gang pressed into trying to wrangle these goblins in spite of being an immoral shitheel herself. The first adventure (which is the only one they did before the game petered out for other reasons) was they were sent to rescue the local children from an Ogre who was kidnapping them from a village. They discovered that he was very erudite and literate (think Cave guy from Freakzoid) and he was trying to teach the children how to read. The villagers were very angry objectors to the written word. The next adventure (which I had notes for somewhere) was going to pit them against a dragon who had been kidnapping princesses. The players would discover he was a giant nerd, and was treating them well; he just needed them for his army build for wargames against other dragons.

Okay, so fine you get the tone; the liches were two wizards who were like, no homo gym bros in life, who made each other their phylacteries. My plan was to have the players find a diary and they would learn the joke; that was only one of them was gay. The diary would have no surviving identifying marks, so they wouldn't know which one

I'd considered making one of them a veteran lich who has conquered other versions of himself and the other a 'naive victim' lich but that was too on the nose for what Marvel had been planning to do with Kang and also narratively unnecessary.

In mine they are yuan-ti abomination liches, and since they are each other's phylactery, their bodies were intricately crafted to be serpentine ebony or ivory. Similar to yours in some ways.

Thanks for the stories, sounds like it was fun!
