Subject: Welcome to shipping in linked parallel universes.

So, in The Door Within trilogy (spoilers ahead, by the way, but I don't think they're too horrible), from which I take my screen name, there are two universes: Earth, and the Realm. Earth is, well, Earth, and the Realm is a parallel universe populated by what are known as Glimpses. Each Glimpse has a human twin who looks just like them and shares their beliefs/allegiances, though they may not be the same age (to steal the explanation straight from Wikipedia/The Door Within Wiki, don't remember which). The main characters are human teenagers who are allowed to go to the Realm for a while to serve the King (this is Christian YA, btw). When a human goes to the Realm, their Glimpse twin goes to Earth, so they never meet. Now that the explanation is out of the way, the ships...

Aidan Thomas/Gwenne. Aidan is the main character of the first book, and Gwenne is his closest friend in the Realm. They're an adorable couple. But...

Antoinette/Kern. Antoinette is Gwenne's human twin, and Kern is the Glimpse twin of Robby, Aidan's friend. He's also an evil knight who nearly killed Antoinette in a duel. Oh, and he's third in command to Satan himself. Yet also...

Antioinette/Aelic. Aelic is Aidan's Glimpse. But I don't ship Antionette/Aidan; ask thou not how the heck this doth work. To further complicate matters...

Robby/Trenna. Trenna is a Glimpse, and we never see her human twin. These two are also adorable.

So basically, I'm stuck with a huge mess of Glimpses and humans and it's all very messed up. Help.
