Summary
A Pride & Prejudice Parallel
This is a Pride & Prejudice reimagining that includes all your favourite canon characters — Elizabeth, Darcy, Jane, Bingley, and the entire glorious, chaotic Bennet mess.But this story also asks:
What if someone else had been watching from the edge of the room?
And what if their version of the story changed everything?Enter Octavia. Enter Lucien.
They are not replacements. They are a reckoning.
She wasn’t born a Bennet. He wasn’t written into Austen’s pages.
But between the letters they didn’t send, the glances they couldn’t hold, and the truths they refused to swallow, they wrote something of their own.This parallel unfolds alongside the familiar plot, but with added layers of POV from characters we never truly heard — Darcy, Bingley, Jane — giving voice to the silences in the original. Through Octavia’s eyes, we witness Jane’s heartbreak. Through Lucien’s, we see what pride looks like when it finally bleeds.
All the romance, wit, and social stakes of the original but more brutal, more intimate, and far too modern for the drawing room.
