Why, thank you! I do rather like being at this stage in the series where there's so much speculation still about who might end up on the throne. I'm not sure exactly how it would work out for Jon to be king, if he's Rhaegar's bastard, but I'm sure GRRM could come up with some way for it to happen. (I'd also love if he was Lord of Winterfell in the end, and married to Val!) Actually I had this ridiculous idea behind this one that he's married to Dany to strengthen the Targaryen claim on the throne, but they're not romantically involved. You know, so Jorah can still have a chance with her. ;)

But I digress... You know I think Sansa and Tyrion could bring a lot of good to each other, and I also think those early days of them trying to build a marriage would be interesting ones. If Sansa is the last Stark (except for cousin Jon, that is--and I really hope she is) I think she'd feel a lot of conflict with relinquishing being a Stark and becoming a Lannister, though I think she'd want to embrace that for Tyrion's sake, because I think she'd be that considerate and that careful after the way she made him feel at the wedding. (I think they need a wedding do-over, too, though that's another tangent!) And poor Tyrion, he'll be as bad as Remus with being convinced Sansa will realize she's made a big mistake, though somehow I don't see Sansa as the type to shake him!

Anyway, I really appreciate your thoughtful comments and I'm so pleased you enjoyed this little glimpse into a possible future.
