All that for someone to just stop writing it. So sad. It's such an amazing story.
I am glad to see you reposted this story, and hopefully I will find the time to re-read it after all these years.
I remember I spent half my summer glued to the original version of this story. It was brilliant and captivating. I loved and enjoyed that story, even though I usually steered away from fics where Kagome had been turned a demoness, and though I was not a huge fan of dark and angsty. Your story was simply that good, it pulled me in despite my reservations. So thank you for writing and for re-posting it.

Years and years ago I stumbled upon this story on fanfiction. I honestly don't even remember how long ago that was, it literally seems like forever. I am so happy that you're giving it another go. When the story went down...me and my friends agonized over it. This story and your writing touched us in a way that might sound silly to some people, we were lost and so upset that something happened that caused you to disappear completely for a while there. Never have I literally stalked a story like this, and never have I ever quite found something that could ever compare to it. I really hope that you're in a place now that you can finish it entirely, a lot of people are rooting for you and this story.
As I remember your original version of this wondeful story on ff.net from long ago, I remembered that it was you and your writing that made me into a very avid fan of the sessxkag pairing. As I remembered the many times that I've read "To wash it all away", there were many heart-wrenching scenes and angst yet it didn't stop me from yearning to find out what will happen next and read more.
I know that I am not the only one that was devastated when you took down the story from ff.net due to someone's misbehavior. I understand why you took action and I hope that you were able to attain what you needed to do.
As a fan of not only your story, but you yourself and your way of writing, I hope and pray to the heavens that they do you justice and give you plenty of inspirations to continue your creations.
Your avid fan and admirer,
SR
O.o and you just had to leave us right there! Dear Santa, for christmas I want Crystal Echoes to allow kagome and sesshoumaru to finally meet. Thank you, Cef
Really love this story. I haven't read the original, so I'm excited to see where this goes and you write really well (I like your other story a lot too). I think the characters are well developed and the feelings they experience come through. I can't wait to see how Sesshoumaru reacts to the supposed death of Kagome. And how is Kagome handling everything in her time?
I shall sing you praises of love and adoration and bow down at your feet crystal echoes! You were the first author to get me into sessh/kag fanfiction and I have been with you from the beginning of, To Wash It All Away. I am such a huge fan of this wonderful story that just seems to get more interesting and dark as time flows by. I am very excited to see where these revisions will take us. And hopefully, I pray nobody screws up again or I shall hunt them down and feast on them, because I want an ending!! Too many years of trying to peice together the where and hows of how it should have come together. Thank you my friend for revisting this story and creating another journey with all of us mind boogled women wanting a dark sinful read.
-Cef
