So, we know that Season 8 is the last. I personally don't really see Cersei surviving "The Dragon and the Wolf". My bet is that, once they've come back in maybe 8x01 or 8x02, Jaime kills her in a similar manner to how he killed Aerys and then off himself (probably by driving his sword [name is escaping me] through his heart). Qyburn and Gregor will probably die during Dany's arrival in KL or during the WW conflict. Bronn too, as much as I love the guy. Or maybe they'll all die in the series finale. We shall see.

Here are my admittedly idealistic thoughts:

Jon either becomes the new Night King and goes back to Winterfell to rule the North. Northern independence, which is what everyone over there has wanted from Season 2, is secured.

Sansa and Arya kill Baelish together. Arya is playing everyone around her at the moment, and how better to avenge the family than eliminating the man who is indirectly responsible for a majority of the suffering in Westeros due to the War of the Five Kings? As to the end of their personal arcs, Sansa will probably end up marrying an actually good man like she's always wanted. Perhaps Arya will finally be knighted or, tragically, perish in the conflict against the dead.

Dany will end up as Queen as she wants, but secures Northern independence as per Jon's request. Now, the shipper in me (speaking as someone who doesn't really ship on GOT) says they might marry for political reasons and fall for each other down the road just as Ned and Catelyn did but could she and Jon even have children? Jon was resurrected in pretty much the exact same way Beric has been 6 times. Does he have a heartbeat or blood in his veins? Everyone is like "OMG A JONERYS BABY".

Littlefinger I already covered. Getting offed by his "protege" would be poetic justice.

Davos is Jon's Hand, if he even wants one really. Or sacrifices himself to save Jon from the NK.

Melisandre I'm not too sure about. There was some minor hint that maybe "The Queen's Justice" is the last time we see her or Arya kills her after a one-off appearance next season? IDK. They don't really seem to know what to do with her now that Stannis is gone imo.

Maybe Tormund leads the wildlings into a reintegration into Southern or Northern society... or becomes a new Northern leader. We all know The Wall is gonna have to come down at some point.

Brienne- no comment. No idea what they're going to do with her. Maybe make her a Kingsguard for whoever wins the Iron Throne?

Gendry- legitimized and named as Dany's successor, in the event that all the "children/heir' talk in 7x06 is being misinterpreted by the fandom.

Sandor? Hmm. New leader of BWB. Don't see him being a Red Priest due to his fire-related PTSD. His whole storyline post-season 4 seems to be about faith and finding something to believe in.

Alternatively... everyone dies. The End.
