Game Of Thrones Season 7: 7 Major Fan Theories About Jon Snow & Daenerys Targaryen

4. They'll Get Married

This one has a couple of different strands to it. There is the notion that they will marry because of the political power it carries, which is largely an extrapolation of the previous two points. Daenerys herself is very aware that the best way to make allegiances is with marriage, and there aren't many bigger or better options out there than marrying into House Stark - even if Jon's considered a bastard, he's Lord of Winterfell and King in the North. It would consolidate a lot of the realm, leaving Cersei closed off and lacking allies, and also mean Jon would have a stronger chance of getting the necessary help against the White Walkers.

Then there's the other possibility: that it's not for political capital, but love. Aww. It's a fact that where there's a large fandom, there's shipping, and few characters in Game of Thrones/ASOIAF are as shipped as Jon and Daenerys, despite the fact they've never even met. Many believe it's destined that they will fall in love, as the hero and heroine of the story, and the coming together of ice and fire. The notion does feel like too much of a standard trope (and too eye-rollingly obvious because of that), but when TV shows bring two extremely good-looking people together like this, it's always a possibility.
