Jon Snow: I agree that he'll be free of his vows, but I don't think he needs to be loyal to Melisandre. It's the other way around. He is Azor Ahai, and she is a red priest; she is obliged to serve him. Jon killing Stannis is an intriguing idea, but I feel like they get along too well for that. I think Stannis has two likely fates: dying in battle against the Others, or joining them. The second is far more interesting, and I have heard the theory that he is the reincarnation of the Night King, the Great Other's equivalent of Azor Ahai. I find it hard to envision any scenario in which Littlefinger is outplotted. He is one of the two most cunning men in Westeros, and he's too far out of the way for Varys to care about him at all. Sansa marrying Harry the Heir and seeing him gain the Vale just seems far too happy and cheerful for this series. More likely Harry will end up dead, Sansa will marry someone for love, and go do something useful elsewhere. Littlefinger could just flee to Harrenhal if need be. Jaime doesn't love Cersei anymore, he despises her, and if he returned to King's Landing he would probably be more likely to wring her neck than fight for her. His redemption will come through Brienne; I think he'll join the Brotherhood without Banners. Besides, Cersei has Ser Robert Strong to fight for her, and he's certainly not going to lose a battle. In the short term, she will have lost all power in King's Landing. And the prophecy dooms her pretty badly. The valonquar who kills her could be Tyrion, or Jaime, or Aegon, or Tommen, or a hundred others. I doubt that it will be Tyrion. The Tyrells will probably accept Aegon as King thinking they can make a puppet out of him. They will fail at this and, with Varys there, they will conveniently fall off buildings or be hit by stray crossbow bolts. Daenerys is completely insane. She is also Jon's aunt, and that's disgusting. Not a single powerful lord in all of Westeros would even think of supporting her claim. I imagine she will lose her dragons, go mad, and join the Others. But it's hard to tell this early on. I think you're being far too optimistic about the prospects of these characters, considering the tone of the series so far. I suppose you thought back in Clash of Kings that Robb would easily march into King's Landing and claim it, creating a happy and peaceful kingdom for all |
I agree melisandre will end up serving Jon, but I think in the short term it will be the other way around until Jon ends up confronting stannis. Stannis could be struck down by something else, and the idea of him becoming an other is interesting and probably fairly likely. Honestly, before this series is done I see most of the characters becoming others.
Jon and Stannis get along because they are both men with a strong sense of duty. I think in the end that sense of duty will end up pitting the two against each other.
Littlefinger is incredibly devious, but he has a weak spot for sansa's mother that he seems to have transferred onto stansa. Littlefinger will be undone before the series is over, and I see his death as something meaningful that Sansa could accomplish or help accomplish. Otherwise, I just see her whole plot thread being a waste of time. She is a terrible character, so I wouldn't be surprised if she doesn't do anything meaningful, but I'm hopeful that she does.
I agree Jaime doesn't love cersei, but I think he will be talked into returning, possibly by brienne. The only reason I think this is the vision that jaime had. I don't remember it very well, but he had a vision of how staying close to cersei would end in his death. Maybe I should go reread that passage, but it remember thinking at the time that this was a forshadowing of how he and cersei would die.
I still think the Tyrells will end up opposing Aegon because they already have the thrown, essentially.
The Targaryans would always marry their siblings and yes it is disgusting, but it completely fits the fiction. I honestly don't see her dragons dying, at least not all of them, because the dragons seem to represent the opposite side of what the others represent.
I might be a bit optimistic, but considering how most of these predictions are about people dying, it is kind of crazy that my predictions are optimistic 
Also, I have no idea where Arya stark's plot thread is going. I enjoy her character, but I have no ideas of where she will end up.
