I have finally finished this story after so long of putting finishing it off. I don't know why, maybe I was nervous to have a conclusion to this story? Well, I am blown away and am on cloud nine. What a fantastic ending, I love the open-endedness of it and possibly what could be. Simply amazing.
I have been meaning to write this review for awhile now. I am honestly kind of embarrassed by it, but I want to get it out there. So please, bear with me. lol
I started reading Checkmate when I was fifteen, ten years ago. I was in a horrible time in my life when I wanted nothing but to disappear and never come back. I am naive and wanted life to be what I dreamed, but it wasn't. I loved DP growing up and wanted to be like Danny, a hero that saves everyone. I had a lot of responsibilities in my life that I felt I didn't want but it involved my younger siblings lives and I knew that it was very important what I did because it effected their well being. My parents weren't ever around and it was up to me to take care of them. We were homeschooled and never left the house, especially during that summer. I first started reading this story and couldn't put it down. I had free time at night, so I would read until 4am at times, just so I could have a moment when I felt happy. And I was so happy. Your story for months was something I looked forward to, had a blast reading, and it has stuck with me since then.
The way you write Danny and Vlad, is amazing to me. You made DP what it only dreamed of being. Your stories, all of them, have changed my life. This is probably super cheesy, but it is true. It changed my morals, my outlook, and how I was handling what I was going through. It made me a better person. It changed how I viewed people in my life that I thought were just making my life miserable. It changed how I saw the world around me and how I viewed my siblings and parents. I am very impressionable and I was alone in a sense back then. I can't explain it well, but without these stories, I don't know what would have happened. I would have just sat in my misery, much like Vlad. Even now, ten years later and I am a grown up, this story still stands as something I remember to ground me morally. I think you have a lot of ties to a Higher Being in this and I really love that. It was subtle, but there, and something I really needed to remember.
For years, I have reread this story. I am blown away by your skills at writing and how everything is matched up perfectly. I finally finished it today after stalling for a few years. I am an emotional wreck. You put so much into this and I want you to know that it has changed my life. I think that me stumbling into this story randomly was not a coincidence and I just want you to know that I will continue to come back to this series and reread often. I will remind myself each time to not be close-minded and hateful towards others, but instead try and find the best in everyone.
And lastly, thank you Pearl. From the sincerest bottom of my heart, thank you for this masterpiece. I know I am a stranger, but your writing to me is a treasure and I am so happy I can come back and relive one of the best stories ever written!

There are many things I wanna say and I cannnnnt.
Vlad’s happy! Wow. He still has stuff to do but like you know.
And Daniellllllle…I’m happy yet surprised by her have a lot of work to unpack.
I wonder if this is the first series I’ve read where Maddie the cat is prominent. (Also Vlad has four girls in his life. It reminds me of that picture I saw on DA where Vlad is surrounded by five girls while reading a “perfect son” book. Fruit loop. I thought Vivianne was gonna be brought back as a teenager and make five but yeah she’s gone.)
Speaking of her, karkekdkwksk awww at least the siblings made up. Clockwork and Serentity too.
Danny Danny Danny…idk where to start. I’m proud of him for sticking to his funs but he still deserves a chance at doing his own thing.
And his family and friends…this is the first story (series) I’ve read (I think) where the Vlad/Jack friendship is brought to light and even kinda resolved. And that Jack and Maddie are to blame as well. Thank you for that.
I love your OCs. The ghost staff and Stephanie and Annie. Vlad has his family. :_) Including Danny.
Skulker…at least he’s brought back. Now they gotta bring Fright Night back. Actually do they remember? Or know of the new reality? Skulker kinda was near Clockwork and Fright Night I’m pretty sure was near Serenity.
I can’t look at Vlad the same way again. Maybe not even read a story where he’s the main antagonist. Or look at the show. That’s how you know this story is good. b(n_n)

Hello.
I just wanted to thank you for this heart-wrenching, gut-twisting, beautiful story about forgiveness and growth. I am a calm reader. I don't jump up and start pacing. I rarely rant about the latest plot twist. And I NEVER gasp reflexively in empathic pain when characters suffer. UNTIL NOW.
Literally have never been so emotionally involved in a book before, and I've read A LOT of books! No offence, but after binge-reading your first book, I actually had to take a 2-year break because it severely contributed to my depression from my despair at how it ended bt the 2 of them! But boy, am I glad I finally decided to pick up the 2nd book!
FRICKEN. AMAZING.
FANTASTIC.
WORK OF ART!
It was all worth it! I loved the twists! I hated the suffering! I cried so many. damn. times! Everyone is broken, but they can learn to move forward together. Never thought I'd see such a deep, beautiful message in a fanfiction! Words cannot describe how much I want this to be a movie- how much I needed this story.
Again, thank you. You are an amazing author and I wish you well on your journey.

OMG! This story and Checkmate before it were SO good, I literally spent two sleepless nights reading this. Your are an amazing author and I adore you accurate portrayals of every single character. The plots were amazing and you really know how to balance all the feels and get me involved into the story as if I were there watching it in person. I have ADHD and find reading stories hard, but your story was perfect and managed to keep my attention the entire time. I know I am a Guest so you can't answer my messages, but just know that I am SO glad you posted this!

You did it, Pearl! This was fantastic. Thank you for sharing your talent and imagination with us all over all these years. I remember having to go back and reread Checkmate every couple years to catch up... And now look where it all is! Love it all, and Bravo!

Thank you for finishing the story and not dropping it after so many years. I remember when I found Checkmate back in highschool on a list on Tumblr and reading it obsessively till I got to Endgame. Your collection of fanfics are the best (and longest) that I've ever read hands down. You are such a talented writer and have taken the characters to places I could have never imagined. I'm so excited to see how DOAS turns out! I wish you the best!

Finished! Not gonna lie I had some nervousness approaching the ending there. But it ended as I had really wanted it to. *Spoilers for anyone who hasn't read till the end*!
I was really scared you were gonna end it with everyone dead lol. I kept repeating that you wouldn't but man I was scared. Also the ending had me in tears. Rare but man. I'm so glad this series was able to be really solid entertainment for me for an entire week and a half. It was a fun filled ride, and so many good words! Now onto your other huge fic!
Also how on earth did you write this much in such a short amount of time and it turn out so amazing?! Quantity and quality with you, friend.

I... I am just... I am just so speechless! How...? How can you write something so amazing like this. There were some lines/scenes from CM that I felt were just... idk author's flex(?) or throw away lines/scenes that paid off so well in this work. Thank you so much for your dedication to Danny and to Vlad! It's not often that you get to read a villain's redemption story that believable much less one done so well and with such care and attention to detail. I'm so glad Danny was able to "save" Vlad (and I'm glad that Vlad has Danny "at his side" as well). They really do need each other... If you are writing any original pieces, please let us know. I'd love to support you! (And I'm sure I'm not the only one)

Wow, no matter how much I thought I knew what would happen, this was different! This was so suprising, I’m happy things got to some semblence of alright for them. And that serenity and clockwork worked something out! Last chapter! Yay!
