Against Your Nature

After a deadly pandemic wipes out the majority of the global population, the modern world is left paralysed. What little is left of humanity is forced to struggle under unstable governments, and a rural, self-sufficient life is the only option to maintain a semblance of normality.
This is where we meet Sara and Rachel, our protagonists. A letter informs them that their government is introducing regulations forcing all immune couples to reproduce, and that as a same-sex couple, they will be provided with a biological partner of their choice.
This revelation begins a complex journey for Sara in particular, who finds herself struggling with her insecurity: Rachel is attracted to men as well as women, while Sara is not. The friction between their sexualities and different worldviews unravels their peaceful home life, and this conflict becomes the heart of the story.
Will their love survive these impossible circumstances?
