MY OWN HEAD CANNON IS AS FOLLOWS, BC SEASON 8 WAS NOT REAL:
Jaime loves Brienne.
He left her at Winterfell to go and capture Cersi peacefully.
Arya killed Qyburn, stole his face to try and kill Cersi.
She witnessed Jaime learn Cersi wasn’t pregnant after all. Qyburn gave him herbs to spike her wine and knock her out. Arya is shocked he actually did it and realizes he is loyal to Brienne/the North.
Arya reveals herself to him andthey quickly devise a plan to get her to Winterfell for Sansa.
All the while Dany is prepared for yet another battle with the Golden Company. The battle is with them, not the Lannister Army who promptly surrenders after a speech, breaking the wheel thing,yada yada. Their queen is missing and they accept their inevitabile fate. They belong to her now. She’s got a dragon. Listen to the lady with the Dragon.
Jon is killing it in the Dragon riding game and helps Dany defeat the Golden Company.
Clegane Bowl happens almost exactly as it did, minus Cersi and Qyburn in the mix.
Yara pops up and slaughters Euron’s shit. Fuck Euron. Jon helps burns those ships right on up.
Bran is giving play by plays to Sansa.
Dany wins, gets the throne. Jon dunt wunt it, she’s his Kween. Although, incest totes ain’t cool and he books it North to be with his sisters.
Jaime makes it to Winterfell, with a captive. Arya rides in on that weird ass horse that ended up being Bran saving her from all those damn buildings falling.
Brienne is mean mugging the hell out of them, until she realizes it’s only Cersi tied up and Jaime freely hops to his feet and scoops her up and kisses her in front of everyone. She slaps him and he kisses her again. She breaks a smile. Cersi screams at him.
Sansa asks for Cersi to be locked up, Tyrian sees to this task. He does so without joy or smugness. She begs for his mercy, he looks at her sadly with no words and has the Starkmen close the door and lock her away.
Cut to Kit…I mean Jon, in the middle of the court yard reading from a scroll from Dany. He declares Sansa Kween by royal decree from Dany and even better the North is independant.
There is uproarious celebration.
In the midst of the celebrating Jon anounces to his siblings his intentions to go North until the Freefolk are settled and he will reform the Knights Watch to ensure safety and trading with the Freefolk and the Westerosi.
Quietly Arya also takes the opportunity to tell her siblings of her intentions to sail the open sea. (What’s west of Westeros? Ask Bran. Either way she wants to see it herself. )
Cersei’s trial has all in attendance, except Dany who doesn’t care bc she won. Cersi begs for someone to vouch for her. Jaime and Tyrion both leave the room after Sansa gives them an understanding nod to excuse them.
Tyrion leaves immediatly for Kings Landing.
Cersi is to be executed by beheadinng. Only The Starks witness it. Jon carries it out before morning light. (Que call back to episode one, Ned beheading the deserter)
In the morning Brienne is summoned to the great room with Podrick. She sees all the Stark children facing her. She does not know what she has done wrong. She looks panicked and fears it may be bc of her association with a Lannister.
Sansa releases Brienne of her duties. She has served faithfully, but Sansa needs her as an ally as the head of Tarth and she hopes on day that they will see each other again. Maybe after the long Winter.
Pod the Rod is head of the Queens Gaurd. As the room empties we see Podrick and Sansa staring at one another. He gives that ever genuine and oh so soft Podrick Payne smile, she stares at him, a bit too long then gives a very slight acknowledgment and she walks out of the room with him in toe.
Brienne and Jaime leave immediately at Brans advisement. He sees a storm further north.
They leave side by side on horseback. Heads forward, they are looking into the horizon. Not a single glance back. As they are just out of view of Winterfell, they turn to one another and smile.
Finally I can release the Game Of Thrones spin off posters I’ve been working on for HBO. For those characters we had to say goodbye, now there’s room to tell their story from the beginning. For those who survived, we get the chance to dive deeper into their worlds. The ninth of the series portrays the story of ser Bronn of the Blackwater.
