A First Course in Complex Analysis by Matthias Beck, Gerald Marchesi, Dennis Pixton, and Lucas Sabalka Exer 1.31,32
Perhaps related but my topology is so far limited to the elementary topology in elementary analysis, complex analysis and real analysis: union-of-connected-subsets-is-connected-if-intersection-is-nonempty, Union of connected subsets is connected if intersection is nonempty
Pf:
Let $A$ and $B$ be the regions in question.
Their union is open is because they are each open. If that warrants further justification, then: any element in their union has a disc centred at the element that is contained entirely in A or in B and hence in A or B.
Suppose on the contrary that their union is not connected. Then $exists C_1, C_2, C_3, C_4$ s.t. $C_1 cup C_2 = A cup B, C_1 ne emptyset ne C_2, C_3 = C_3^0, C_4=C_4^0, C_1 subseteq C_3, C_2 subseteq C_4$ and $C_3 cap C_4 = emptyset$.
We deduce that $emptyset = C_1 cap C_2$, and so we have 4 cases:
Case 1: $A cup B subseteq C_1$
$A cup B subset$ but $ne C_1 cup C_2$ ↯
Case 2: $A cup B subseteq C_2$
$A cup B subset$ but $ne C_1 cup C_2$ ↯
Case 3: $A subseteq C_1, B subseteq C_2$
$A cap B = emptyset$ ↯
Case 4: $A subseteq C_1, B subseteq C_2$
$A cap B = emptyset$ ↯
The cases are exhaustive and each lead to a contradiction. $therefore,$ their union is connected. QED
For the former my proof is:
Definitions:
$$z in partial A iff exists r>0:D[z,r]cap A ne emptyset ne D[z,r]cap A^c$$
$$z in partial B iff exists r>0:D[z,r]cap B ne emptyset ne D[z,r]cap B^c$$
$$B textis closed iff partial B subseteq B iff B = B^0 cup partial B$$
Now observe for $D[z,r]cap A$:
$$D[z,r]cap A subseteq A subseteq B implies D[z,r]cap B ne emptyset$$
Thus for $D[z,r]cap A^c$:
$$D[z,r]cap A^c subseteq B iff D[z,r] subseteq B iff z in B^0$$
$$D[z,r]cap A^c subsetneq B iff D[z,r]cap B^c ne emptyset iff z in partial B$$
In either case $z in B$. QED
For the latter my proof is:
$$forall z in A=A^0, exists a>0: D[z,a] subset A =A^0 subseteq B$$
Now $$z in B^0 iff exists b>0:D[z,b] subseteq B$$
Choose $b=a$. QED
Where have I gone wrong?

In any space let $F$ be a non-empty family of connected open sets such that $cap Fne emptyset.$ Let $A, B$ be disjoint open sets with $Acup B=cup F.$
For each $fin F,$ the sets $fcap A , fcap B$ are disjoint open subsets of the connected set $f,$ and their union is $f$. So $$(1)...quad fcap Ane emptyset implies f=fcap A quad text and quad fcap Bne emptyset implies f=fcap B.$$ By contradiction, suppose $Ane emptyset ne B.$ Since $A=cup_fin F(fcap A)$ and $B=cup_fin F(fcap B),$ there exist $f_A,f_Bin F$ such that $f_Acap Ane emptyset ne f_Bcap B.$
Then by $(1)$ we have $cap Fsubset f_Acap f_B=(f_Acap A)cap (f_Bcap B)subset Acap B=emptyset,$ contrary to $emptyset ne cap F.$

Any union of connected sets with a not empty intersection
is connected. Use the theorem that K is connected iff for
all continuous f:K -> discrete 0,1, f is constant.
If C is a collection of connected sets, a in $cap$C,
and f:$cup$C -> 0,1 continuous, then for all K in C,
f(K) = f(a). Whereupon, f($cup$C) = f(a).
