Help me translate a sentence, "in which" and ser vs estar?

There's a sentence in my essay I'm not sure I'm writing correctly. In English, it would be:

"Two stories in which metaphors are very typical are ___ and ____."

This is what I have:

"Dos historias en las que las metáforas son muy characterísticas son ___ and ___."

1) Is "en las que" the right way to say "in which"?

2) Should the first "son" be "están"?

Muchas gracias!
