Before I explain my theory, I guess I have to explain why I—someone who supposedly doesn’t care about the show—has a homemade Game of Thrones shirt.
In the picture above is me and my best friend, who is the source of all my Games of Thrones knowledge. (So blame her for all the inaccuracies in this post!). We like to joke that her three demonic chihuahuas are dragons, and thus, she is the Mother of Dragons. A couple years back, I made these shirts for her birthday. They have caused me nothing but pain and trouble when I have to explain to people 1. What ‘Mhysa’ means and how to pronounce it, and 2. Why I own Game of Thrones merch despite seeing 0,5 of an episode.
All right, now it’s time for my theory:
Daenerys and Sansa are going to sit on the Iron Throne, together.
Listen, everyone thinks it’s going to be Dany and Jon Snow but that’s not going to happen for a number of reasons (too boring, predictable, fan service-y, I could go on, but I won’t).

As we all know, the first book in the series is called A Song of Fire and Ice.
Here’s an excerpt from the book:
‘They say the Fire Queen is touched by ice.
That her hair is like snow,
and that she has a cold look.
But her smile counts a different story.
It's like fire, like madness in her heart.
She is the queen they follow into war.
‘They say the Ice Queen is kissed by fire. That her hair is like flames, and that she has a warm smile. But her eyes count a different story. They're like ice, like wildness in her veins. She is the queen they go to war for.’
Additionally, Sansa styles her hair like Dany in the latest trailer.

Honestly, I have no idea if this theory makes sense, or if I’m using the proper terminology. All I know is, as someone who’s only seen maybe an hour of the show, Mhysa and Sansa are my favourites and I hope they win in the end.
Also, I’d like to submit this GIF as my final piece of evidence:
