I think if the outline is a roadmap into the planned future, you can deviate. The outline was from your perspective at the time in the past when you wrote it. Life changes, paths change, things happen IRL. So it is with fic people, too. Even if you originally saw your characters following a specific path, your perspective has changed, and so will theirs, with you writing them now. Go with your present ideas--it'll be fantastic, you'll see!
