I Fixed It 2.0

Okay, so slightly revised headcanon for GoT:

The series re-opens shortly after the events of Season 8, with Daenerys' body nestled with dragon eggs and nurtured by Drogon. 

They are in Valyria.  The priestess from Qarth prays and performs rituals in a nearby cave.

Daenerys is resurrected by fire when the baby dragons hatch.  4? 

Daenerys lives, but is weak.  The priestess takes her out of old Valyria on a boat (a la Jorah and Tyrion) with the baby dragons as Drogon flies above....

oooooooh, where are they going?

..

Bran is a crap king BECAUSE HE IS EVIL and his cabinet is crap.  I mean, why is Bronn master of coin?

Winter is not leaving King's Landing.  Things continue to cool and Winter continues in the South.  Bran starts squabbles with Sansa about where boundaries and borders are and about resources.

Meanwhile, Sansa is arranging a political marriage with Gendry and Gendry is planning to secede and join kingdoms with House Stark. 

--

Arya make landfall WEST OF WESTEROS and finds Daenerys living among the egalitarian tribes of SuperWestLand with her adolescent dragons. 

One of the tribespeople-- a teenage girl-- is a warg.  She is able to control the dragons and is able to talk to them and communicate with them in a way that has domesticated them, or at least made them controllable/trainable.  They fly freely, they hunt from wild herds, and they have designated animals raised for agriculture. 

The red priestess and Daenerys have converted members of the tribe to the Lord of Light.

After a short time in the new land, Arya returns to find Jon Snow and tell him what has become of Daenerys.

...

When Arya arrives in the North and finds Jon Snow, she finds that the North is warming... essentially, the climates of the North and South are shifting in a new age in which the South becomes cold and the North warm.

Sansa also arrives shortly after Arya to enlist the help of Jon and the Wildlings in keeping their freedom and resources by joining forces against Bran, who is coming for their lands (especially now that the North is becoming more temperate).  There is some drama regarding Sansa's pending marriage with Gendry, but Sansa assures Arya that the arrangement is purely political and Arya concedes that she still has no interest in settling.

Jon agrees to go with Arya to SuperWestLand and he brings some other fun friends.

They successfully enlist the help of Daenerys and her new people.  It takes some time for them to engineer and build the ships to bring their numbers to Westeros.

Jon starts developing a relationship with one of the women in the people of SuperWestLand.

----

Meanwhile, Bran is spying on Sansa with animals and learns of what is happening.  He begins to weaponize animals.  He tries to turn Nymeria and her pack against Sansa, but Nimeria is able to resist once he tries to make her attack Sansa.  She protects Sansa from the wolfpack and Bran is no longer able to control her and he finds that he is unable to control magical animals.... because....

----

[[Warg Girl from SuperWestLand]] is able to communicate with animals and among magical animals, has created a sort of culture/allegiance to the Lord of Light and Team Daenerys/Stark.

----

When Daenerys, Jon, Arya, and company arrive back in Westeros, they're in time to help Sansa and Nimeria battle Bran and company.  Gendry loses his territory, but Winterfell is not lost. 

Gendry is all feelings when Arya returns and Sansa begins to fall for Daenerys.  He is jealous of Daenerys, though his relationship with Sansa is formal (though friendly and loving), and he still pines after Arya, who is content to hook up with him, but isn't interested in settling down and making babies.

Sansa and Daenerys develop a deep relationship.  It appears that Sansa is also unable to have children as she and Gendry continue to be unable to have children.

Arya takes Brienne hostage.

And...

Arya becomes pregnant by Gendry.  They decide to hide her in the crypts during her pregnancy and claim the child as that of Sansa and Arya. 

----

However, while Arya is out of commission, Bronn sneaks into Winterfell and kills Brienne.  OHHHHHHHHH I know.

-----

Anyway, Arya, Sansa, Jon, and Daenerys (and Drogon and babies) defeat Bran and Company (yes, including Tyrion), but Jon gives his life in the process  and a couple baby dragons go, too (PRINCE WHO WAS PROMISED?).  Sansa raises Arya's baby and Arya goes back to her travels.  Sansa and Daenerys' relationship is an open secret.  Gendry is sad about Arya forever.
