I'm going to be disappointed if Jaime kills Cersei. I'm really hoping that the Valonqar (whoever it is - personally hoping for Tyrion) has their hands around her throat, choking the life out of her, then stops and sends her away from the castle to live her life in cowardice and fear of all she once held herself.

So much of this series has been about deconstructing the most popular fantasy tropes that it seems silly that every prophecy would come true, and given Cersei's paranoia about what Maggie the Frog told her, it would be delicious irony for her to see all her planning and cruel scheming go for naught because the prophecy only had as much power as she gave it.

On a purely selfish level, I really want a physically and emotionally broken Cersei to be crawling through the Riverlands, trying to convince herself that she can regain her lost glory, only to encounter Nymeria, who closes her teeth around her throat in the last sentence of the epilogue.

Cersei has to die. She is not going to give up until all of her enemies, real or imagined, are dead, and she'll keep on creating new enemies in her own head even if she wins.

Well that's kind of the point with Jaime killing Cersei in this prophesy. It's never remotely crossed her mind that Jaime may be the Valonqar. The second she knew the word, she knew for a fact it was Tyrion. Cersei's obsession with it also led to her killing her friend.
