The story will end with Dany and Jon as king and queen. I think that’s completely clear now.
Jon won’t die, he is legitimate Targaryen. What’s the point of that if he won’t be king? And Dany won’t die, because they will have a child together.

GRRM – trope subvertor LOL

He was lying about the nature of this story for 20+ years because he killed Ned Stark and his fans bought his BS. I’m sure many won’t believe next season that that was his ending and they will blame D&D as usual.
I do think we don't give GRRM enough credit for weaving a complex tapestry of already existent tropes. But it is that weaving combined with some shock value things which were truly unconventional that make it so good. He didn't invent fantasy or reinvent it, but he did break the mold. It'll be epic but corny, but that doesn't mean we won't lose Dany too, at the very end.

They brought Gendry back for a reason - I think he will figure out -possibly with the help of Sam - how to kill (re-kill? destroy? not sure of the nomenclanture) Viserion by discovering the difference between steel and Valyrian steel is how it is forged (with dragon fire). This is why the Iron Throne still has sharp edges after centuries ;) I hope they don't have him jump off a tower, spear in hand, to kill the dragon to save Arya. Ok, I lied, I would like to see that.

Why is everyone in a rush to kill Dany? I think Jon is more likely to die. But I hope both survive.
You probably missed the 49843340439 theories that have been popping up on reddit about Jon dying ever since the leaks were confirmed. Trust me there's rush to kill him as well.
How/when/where were any leaks ever "confirmed"? If anything they've been disproved.

I'm more inclined to believe Jon dies. He's proven he's willing to sacrifice himself again and again. They've spend 7 years touting Dany as the future Queen and getting every likeable character on her side. I don't think the overall ending will be as shocking as some suspect. Bittersweet yes - I don't see any way that they both survive.

You do realize I was talking about the season 7 leaks, right? My post was written ages ago.
