London 1812 . Oliver Bennet feels trapped. Not just by the endless corsets petticoats and
skirts he's forced to wear on a daily basis but also by society's expectations. The world-and
the vast majority of his family and friends-think Oliver is a girl named Elizabeth. He is
therefore expected to mingle at balls wearing a pretty dress entertain suitors regardless of
his interest in them and ultimately become someone's wife. But Oliver can't bear the thought
of such a fate. He finds solace in the few times he can sneak out of his family's home and
explore the city rightfully dressed as a young gentleman. It's during one such excursion when
Oliver becomes acquainted with Darcy a sulky young man who had been rude to "Elizabeth" at a
recent social function. But in the comfort of being out of the public eye Oliver comes to find
that Darcy is actually a sweet intelligent boy with a warm heart. And not to mention
incredibly attractive. As Oliver is able to spend more time as his true self often with Darcy
part of him dares begin to hope that his dream of love and life as a man could be possible. But
suitors are growing bolder-and even threatening-and his mother is growing more desperate to see
him settled into an engagement. Oliver will have to choose: Settle for safety security and a
life of pretending to be something he's not or risk it all for a slim chance at freedom love
and a life that can be truly honestly his own. This bittersweet Pride & Prejudice remix
follows a trans boy yearning for the freedom to live openly centering queerness in a
well-known story of longing and subverting society's patriarchal and cisheteronormative
expectations. The Remixed Classics Series In the Remixed Classics series authors from
