We discuss how electron-electron interactions can lead to novel phenomena in double quantum wire systems. Explicitly, we find that double wires with time reversal symmetry and strong electron-electron interactions can exhibit fractional conductances and cross-conductances in their normal state. They also allow to pump the fraction of a spin in their superconducting state. These effects are an extension of fractional helical Luttinger liquid physics, and can be understood as the one-dimensional cousins of bilayer fractional quantum Hall effects.
