You don’t need to be familiar with Atonement (movie and/or book) in order to understand the fic. I’m not following the exact plot of the original story as I’ve tweaked it in my own ways. This also applies to The Talented Mr. Ripley (movie and/or book) and Pearl Harbor (movie). All you need to know is that the pair is played by mattfleck ><
I highly recommend checking out Atonement, both the book and the movie. They are very dear to me.
