For me they would be running a business, and they would be Parents.

What kind of business?
Agreed, it would be a very domestic life. If Spike didn't have his soul, then Tara would need to count the kittens every time after he visited to ensure that none of them end up on a poker table.They'd be joint-head of their own coven of witches somewhere quaint and rural (in US or maybe England) with ties to other covens world-wide.
Willow would have some on-line business (maybe web design) to help with running costs/for fun. She would still help out her friend Buffy with magic stuff but she wouldn't be as involved as she is now, neither would Tara because of the 'near-miss bullet' that nearly destroyed everything.
Also Tara wouldn't want to risk Willow do anything dark like she did with Buffy's resurrection, so there would be that as well.
Tara would maybe do palm readings and stuff at a small business in the nearby village.
They would have quite a few adorable kittens.
Why is Xander's daughter living with Willow and Tara and not him?Tara runs a commune for survivors of trauma and other people who feel uncomfortable living in the modern, fast moving world. Willow is a scholar, who travels the world and speaks on such topics as spirituality, the practical applications of magic, feminism and LGBT+ activism. She always have to talk to Tara on the phone before a big speech to calm her nerves. They have a daughter together. Xander is helping them build a tree house in a pine forest by a big lake. This gives him the opportunity to bound with his daughter and teach her some DIY skills to help out her less practically inclined mothers.
Tara is the mother and Xander is the biological father. Even if he does not live with them, they consider him as one of the parents.Why is Xander's daughter living with Willow and Tara and not him?
So did Xander sleep with Tara or is he just a sperm donor that they know?Tara is the mother and Xander is the biological father. Even if he does not live with them, they consider him as one of the parents.![]()
Of course he didn'tSo did Xander sleep with Tara or is he just a sperm donor that they know?
So sperm donor?Of course he didn'tThat is why I stressed biological father.
Technically, yes, but Will and Tara feel that term is a too impersonal. They think of him as a spare parent.So sperm donor?
Not saying that she wasn't prepared for being a good partner to Tara, but that they had a lot to work through and it would have gotten a lot less whimsical sex time should Tara not have been shot like a day after they "reconciled" (I've never really cared for them just skipping over the hard part to get us nice and happy about them boinking just in time to be devastated by Tara's death).@HelloIAmHawt Willow went through a rough patch with that pesky paradoxical lack of self esteem combined with light megalomania. I don't think it is fair to call her an addict or presume she could never become a good partner for Tara again. She just needed to grasp the seriousness of her problem and be shown that she was still worthy of being loved. By Seeing Red, all of this had happened.
But this isn't the first time they meet after the break up. They've met several times and we know they've been speaking on the phone off screen. We as the audience have heard Tara tell Willow how she felt about their relationship and about Willow's abuse of magic and we have seen Willow's journey out of depression. Buffy is a fast moving show. We can assume they were going to speak more later, but do we really need to see them attend couple's counselling?Not saying that she wasn't prepared for being a good partner to Tara, but that they had a lot to work through and it would have gotten a lot less whimsical sex time should Tara not have been shot like a day after they "reconciled" (I've never really cared for them just skipping over the hard part to get us nice and happy about them boinking just in time to be devastated by Tara's death).
Honestly, I'm not even sure what any of this has to do with my original post or the question at hand. But to answer to some strawman meandering, I agree, no, I don't think anyone would want to watch couples' counseling outside of your standard soap opera. But I do think that people would want to see a trust be rebuilt in some way instead of this messy heap of sentimentality that is presented to us.But this isn't the first time they meet after the break up.
