mine:
1. Stannis has some sort or trap laid out for the Boltons & Freys...the pink letter just doesn't make sense considering he put the potential Karstark threat away. I think he takes back Winterfell & Davos returns with Rickon and gives the north some stability just for a little bit until the Others overwhelm the wall and invade. The battle for winterfell will end up looking irrelevant by the end of the book.
2. Aegon takes the Iron Throne, and swiflty. We know from Arianne's chapter in TWOW that Storm's end has fallen in a real bloody fashion. This will win him a.) Dorne and B.) Randyll Tarly and other Lords from the reach. In the epilogue we see Tarly down playing the threat of Aegon...which doesn't make much sense in the grand scheme of things. it does if you realize that Tarly just got passed over for land & title in the reach and he was one of the last loyal Targaryen bannermen.
Tarly will obliterate the Tyrell and Hightower resistance in the reach and the Sand Snake in King's Landing will convince a bat shite crazy & desperate Cersei that the incoming Dornish army is here to help. Kind of reminds me of something that happened during the 1st rebellion.
Now, like the North, I don't see stablity happening here long.
3. Dany finally gets to Westeros with the largest army around...The Iron Fleet will make short work of the ships in the siege of Mereen and Ser Barristan and the Tyrion led sellswords will finish off the land threat. She'll then take Drogon, the Iron Fleet, her unsullied, the Dothraki she takes from Khal Pono, and sellswords to head to Westeros. There she will try to unseat Aegon.
4. Dany's betrayal of love will be Ser Barristan for Ashara Dayne. That leads me to believe it will be Dany vs. Aegon.
5. Jon willl be reborn as Azor Ahai, Stannnis bends the knee to him, and both will head to face the Others.
6. Jamie gets to KL in time to get Tommen safetly out, and in the process has to kill Cersei as she won't leave or let Jamie take him.

Something's gonna happen with Sansa and Littlefinger going back to the north. That's all I got.
Posted on 5/23/12 at 2:29 pm to NIH
not bad...it would be nice if it played out like that but you know GRRM is gonna kill off half the people you mentioned

totally lacking from the OP.
I really have no idea where this thing is going other than to say John will be AA reborn. Stannis is not crushed as reported by Ramsey Bolton. Danny must eventually return to Westeros with her Dothraki horde, unsullied amd Drogon...
Lannisters are a power on the decline...

I think there was something huge in those tapestries LF wanted from King's Landing. Maybe they're from the reign of the Targs and they will be a part of LF's support of them? I don't know. I could also see LF setting up the Freys for some kind of spectacular betrayal/death to please his Catelyn jr.

Tyrion still won't know where whores go.

Kind of weird to think that on the surface the Lannisters crushed the Starks but in reality there are still five Starks remaining if you count Jon and almost none of the Tywin clan left.

So I was thinking the other day, and maybe you could chalk it up to alcohol or other mind expanding things at Hangout, but what if Jon has to sacrifice Arya? People seem to think that Dany represents fire and Jon ice, but what if it's Jon-fire-AzorAhai (Targaryen) and Arya-ice-NissaNissa (Stark). We know he loves her, and "Stick them with the pointy end" seems to fit.

interesting theory.
other interesting theory i saw: the dragon egg Euron tossed into the sea turned into a Kraken. Varys mentioned a Kraken in ACOK at a council meeting.

What about zombie Stark and Brienne?

I think Sansa is pretty bright and has been learning from Littlefinger how to be a puppetmaster. She will use his love for Cat against him and take control of the powerbase he has built in her name.
I agree Jon will be AA reborn. Will this be the time Stannis finally acts selfishly or will he accept it because Melisandre comes to believe? Like others, I don't believe the Ramsay letter.
It will be interesting to see the interaction between Dany and Aegon. Likely Dany will have Tyrion as an advisor by that time and he spent time with Aegon and Jon Connington.
I hope Arya makes it back to Westeros soon. I'm glad she is being trained as a super assassin and all, but I'm ready to be done with the many faced god.
I want to know what happened to Jaime!

hopefully he kills un-cat

I really hope GRRM finishes the series instead of croaking from being severely over weight.
I hope he goes into depth about The Others and their whole background. I feel we don't know enough at all about them. Finally, I hope Sam becomes an interesting character. He has the potential to find out a lot of information for Jon(if he is reborn)

Sam will have some kind of role to play with his dad and the dragons before it's all said and done.

Interesting theory. That would be a game changer. I have a feeling Dany's dragon will die once she gets to westeros. Unless GRRM wastes an entire book on her trying to train the damn dragon
Posted on 5/23/12 at 3:53 pm to NIH
I think another dragon comes from somewhere, whether it be from the depths of winterfell or is released when the wall falls and bran wargs into it.

I predict we're still going to be waiting a long time for Martin to write it.
Other than that: Based on the old lady's prophecy, Tommen and Mycella are killed (I think I'm remembering right that Mycella has just been injured/scarred so far).
Jon will survive by being warged into his wolf some sort of way - Mellisandre may have a part.
Danny will likely still muck about over the seas for most of the book. Though with Tyrion and Victorian there it might be a little more interesting than it has in he past.
Aegon will end up not being Aegon (though he himself thinks he is).
Zombie Kat will continue to make exactly the wrong choices as Kat has done since the beginning.
Not sure exactly how the whole Stannis / Ramsey / Theon stuff will play out. Hopefully Theon will be put out of his misery. (or maybe he kills Ramsey in some sort of deception/trick.
I think the Citadel or members of it may have some part to play before the end.

Yep. I think so too. The ones featured in the beginning and end of AFFC. Jaqen is assumed to be one of them right?
Posted on 5/23/12 at 4:06 pm to LVresider
the theory goes in with Dany plucking a great kraken out of the water. I think it has a double meaning with Euron and a kraken that will frick up Victarion and his fleet.
