What are the best theories left?

R+L=J is done with.

Not so much a theory as a mystery:

Where is Blackfyre and Dark Sister?

Blackfyre was last seen in The Golden Company's possession, until the last of House Blackfyre died...from then on, MIA.

Dark Sister was with Bloodraven until/when he went to the Wall.

The only crackpot theory I have on Blackfyre is that it's hidden in plain sight among the swords in the Iron Throne-Not twisted or melted, just wedged up in there somewhere- but I admit I have zero evidence...it would've had to have been brought back from Essos, snuck in and...well I just think it's an awesome hiding place for a sword, really.

Dark Sister.
I don't buy Jeor's story at all. "Here's a (literally) priceless family heirloom, because I like you and you saved my life. Sorry the wolf handle still looks like a drag-er, I mean, a bear..."

No, I don't think so.

I think BR entrusted it to Maester Aemon (who, incidentally, requested to be posted at the Wall AFTER Aegon V (Egg) allowed BR to take the Black, even accompanying him on the ride north).
The Dunk and Egg tales hint that BR had the Greensight long before he took the Black or became the 3ER ("Bloodraven sees with a thousand eyes and one")

So BR could've foreseen all kinds of shite...maybe it's been there waiting for Jon for a long time?

I just hope there's more to it than Meera grabbing the first sword handy when they abandon the tree-cave.
