What if Adam and Eve were... Adam and Steve, and Steph and Eve?
What if God’s Original Plan was for queer reproduction, and humanity’s Original Sin was turning away from it? Four Gods—Diekololaoluwalayemi, Ohanzee, Urvisha, and Gedaliah—create two male couples, Dana and Adam, and two female couples, Stephanie and Eve, to multiply through immaculate conception. Centuries later, a shape-shifter urges humans to reproduce without the Gods, causing chaos. The Gods send Jabril to guide Josephine and Mariah, whose child Jesse advocates for the Original Plan. Love, creation, and all forms of connection are revealed as sacred, and the choice to bear children is freely granted. History, society, and human existence are reshaped under this vision, challenging the foundations of family, identity, and relationships.
