Brienne will allow Jamie to kill her so that Jamie can live (trial by combat)

Yeah I get the impression this will happen to. This isn't strong evidence, but in Clash of Kings when Mel has Stannis burn the Seven and Davos watches we get this:

quote:

---

The Maiden lay athwart the Warrior, her arms widespread as if to embrace him

So I get the impression either Brienne dies protecting Jaime or they both die together (and then maybe the Stoneheart brings back Jaime & his hand is able to be restored somewhat similar to Victarion...later goes on to kill Cersei)
