that creepy twin thing

Has anyone else come across fiction where the final resolution involves a pair of [identical] twins who magically become one person? I've run into this twice, in a couple fantasy sub-genres so divergent that I'd be extremely surprised if the later author had read the other work. But I'm wondering, is this coincidence, or an actual thing that there are more of? And if the latter, how do people not find this weird and creepy? (I mean, maybe if you've never met a pair of identical twins, and are working solely from reputation? I'm pretty sure all the twins I've known would be pretty disturbed by the idea of having to morph into one person, even to save the world or whatever.)

In other news, it is apparently getting a bit too humid in the house now that it's cooled down enough not to bother with the a/c. I know this because I looked over at the bookshelf by the couch and noticed that the Book of Mormon had started molding a bright bluey-green around the edges. (Turns out it's just the cover, and most everything else is still fine, but we have bought a new dehumidifier to replace the one that choked on too much construction dust.)
