Willow staying with Oz and the results

[Chosen Enemy]

When Oz left Willow and town, Willow was devastated for a long while. Then came Tara, and Willow decided she likes girls now... well a girl. But what if Oz hadn't left? Would Willow have still realized she likes girls? If she and Oz had stayed together, and Willow had still met Tara at the Wicca Group like in the canon, would she had left Oz herself and be with Tara?

Hmm. Interesting question. I don't think she would leave Oz.. they would eventally break up, but I don't think she would leave him because she met Tara. You see, I don't think she and Tara would have time to connect if Oz was around.

Honestly, the way i see it... I think that Willow still would have joined the wicca group even if she was with Oz, and there for would have met Tara, I still also believe that they would have a connection to one another because of the witchcraft... However I don't think Willow would have just left Oz for Tara. Willow loved Oz, and I don't think that her and Tara would have connected as deeply but instead would have just been like witchy friends. Now I think that down the line Oz and Willow may have broken up.... and then if that happened, then I could see Willow and Tara growing closer and becoming more.. Although I'd still be rooting for Oz and Willow lol

I don't know. Oz expressed concerns with Willow and magic a couple different times so that may have caused a rift and probably would have made whatever connection she had with Tara all the more stronger. I hate to say it, but she did spend a chunk of season 3 flirting something serious with Xander behind Oz's back. I don't know if I think it would happen again, but it would have been really rocky.

I kind of still see Willow as bisexual despite saying that she was gay because she genuinely loved Oz and Tara in a romantic sense. Because of that, I think that whether or not she would end up with Tara if Oz had stayed would depend on if the relationship ran its course and ended another way or if they stayed together happily.

I think they would've stayed together till his death in season 6. Tara would have to take Willow down. I think then they would've become closer over the summer in England as she helped Willow heal, and towards the end of Season 7, they get together. Then Tara would be alive in the comics.

I actually wrote all of this out somewhere else but then someone said "Tara and Oz, friends? No" without giving the alternate universe I created a chance D:

This is a good question my answer is yes I think she would meet Tara maybe she would be with her. I do think her connection started off because Oz had left and she was vulnerable but I do think eventually Tara and Willow had a very strong love.
If Oz had not left I think Oz and Willow would still be together and she and Tara may have been friends first.
I still don't see Willow as a lesbian. I think the only woman she loved was Tara and that makes me think she doesn't discriminate or likes both however you want to put it.

I think she might have still been with Oz if he didn't leave. But like someone else said, she would have still made that connection with Tara because of the witchy stuff and everything.

I doubt that Tara would have existed if Willow and Oz had remained together. However, I do believe that Oz would have met Tara's fate in either Season 5 or Season 6.

You mean 'existe' in Willow's life? Because I think she would have met her at Wicca Group anyways, because it has nothing to do with Oz.

I can see how they may not have even created her if they planned to leave Willow and Oz together long term.

I think, or thought I read, that Tara was supposed to already exist and Oz's storyline was supposed to be longer. I know they didn't decide to make Tara a love interest till Seth left/They saw Aly's chemistry with Amber.
