Let's say Feathertail didn't die and they became mates and let's assume one of them would want to move clans to be with the other. Which one would you assume move clans?

While I think Feathertail would have moved on from her brief romance with Crowpaw instead of pursuing it further if she had lived, which also got stated to probably be the case by one of the authors (forgot who), if they really had become mates I'm positive Feathertail is the one to leave RiverClan to be with Crowfeather in WindClan. It just seems likely and makes sense when looking at how she felt during her Graphic Novel ASiR. She came to terms with feeling out of place in RiverClan and forgave Leopardstar but there was still something about her that made me think she continued to doubt her place. That's simply my own personal headcanon though, at this point.
So yeah, Feathertail is the one to move Clans for Crowfeather, who hopefully has a different suffix in this AU considering that she did not die here.

one of the erins said feathertail would eventually break up with him, and i choose to believe in that has a headcanon for what would happen. if anything, crowfeather would be the one to suggest moving to HER clan since feathertail would be like silverstream and not want to leave the water.

I don't remember any Erins saying they'd eventually break up?
I do know it was more like, if they did go back to their clans, that they wouldn't get together, because Feathertail and Crowfeather are both loyal to their clans at the time.
However, neither seemed happy in their respected clans. Crowfeather felt like an outcast, and so did Feathertail, and really nothing was keeping them from just leaving the clans together, or moving from one clan to the other.
I feel like Crowfeather is more likely to move to RiverClan though, because he was so quick to jump at the idea of running away with a medicine cat, I don't see why he wouldn't switch clans to be with a warrior. I know Feathertail was going through a lot, but she eventually did bury the hatchet with Leopardstar, and settled things properly. I think the two of them would fair better in RiverClan, as oppose to WindClan.
And honestly would have been an overall better endgame choice as well. There wouldn't be any big scandal or anything, just one cat moving from one clan to the other. And considering how close all the clans were during the journey, I wouldn't really be surprised if this had happened if Feathertail had lived. They would also be by the lake regardless, all of the clans, so even if Feathertail is the one to move, she'd still be able to swim if she wanted.

I feel like Crowfeather wouldn’t leave WindClan if Feathertail died. He is extremely loyal to his Clan, and I believe the reason he felt so lonely was that he was in grief for Feathertail. I think they would’ve become secret mates like Graystripe and Silverstream or Oakheart and Bluestar.

Cloudstorm ᏞᎪᎠᎽ Ꮎf fᎪᏁᎠᎾms ミ☆ But they were never officially together? So that's why I found it confusing when it was said they would have "eventually broken up". I always saw what Vicky said as them choosing not to pursue a relationship because of their loyalties to their clans. Also, Crowfeather isn't very far from his warriorship at that time, correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't he close to getting his name prior to leaving for the journey? I don't think the the age gap between him and Feather was that big, and I don't care much for the maturity difference, since there wasn't much in the first place either. Feathertail was just more outgoining and positive, as oppose to Crowfeather's more isolated and defensive behavior. It's a character trait that Crowfeather doesn't lose any time soon either, since he stays like this, even after getting his warrior name, getting a new mate, and fathering kits. Personally, I don't care much for Vicky's weight in what goes on in the books, especially nowadays, the other Erins tend to retcon her words a lot, so I suppose it's up to the individual. I usually take what she says with a grain of salt, but still, acknowledge that she had her own personal opinions on some matters. As far as canon goes though, as I said, Feathertail living would have honestly have changed Crowfeather's character that we've come to know currently. She's the reason why his name is even Crowfeather, why he felt so lonely later in life, why he had issues with finding the right one, and why his loyalty was strained with WindClan. Considering, again, he did run away with a medicine cat, I don't think anything would stop him from just switching clans, because even if we're using Vicky's words here, it only talks about Feathertail's loyalty to her clan, not Crowfeather. And we've seen several other instances where Crowfeather's loyalty with WindClan is questionable. So as I said, I can't really see Feathertail leaving, even more so after the reinforced loyalty saga she had with Leopardstar, and because of Stormfur. But Crowfeather would have been a much easier and simpler choice. Feathertail wouldn't pressure him, of course, but from Crowfeather's point of view I don't think there's much to be pressured there in the first place.

If Stormfur stated with the Tribe, then Feathertail would move to WindClan assuming that their relationship feels stable. Or if it worked out like LeafCrow and they stayed in their clans but have a litter, I think there would be nothing to stop them from living as loners like LeafCrow intended before the badger attack. Breezepelt wouldn't have been born, neither would the Three. Maybe the Three would be SquirrelBramble kits instead or born much later than the Po3 era. New Leafpool ships are a possibility but I doubt she'd get pregnant during the same time frame.
Speaking of the badgers, do you think Midnight meeting the fleeing LeafCrow slowed down her warning? If so, then would Cinderpelt and Sootfur still be alive if WindClan had gotten there sooner?

Feathertail would have probably left RiverClan as she was already feeling out of place there. Plus Crowfeather is so loyal to WindClan, there's only room for Feathertail to leave her Clan.

I've always pictured Crowfeather moving to RiverClan just to be with Feathertail. I mean, he already knew how to fish, and also seemed pretty excited about the idea of being part of her clan, even if she wasn't being literal.
