In the past I had some crazy theories, but the last one that occured to me is actually craziest of them all. Truthfully, I am more interested in Game than mythological side of ASOIAF, but I can`t deny that dragons, Others, wargs, AAR/PTWP and other prophecies, legends and myths aren`t essential part of the story. So I was looking for a theories that can connect both part of ASOIAF. And I won`t talk about Dany, Jon or Stannis. Stark kids are who I am interested in. To be accurate, Sansa, Bran and part of Arya`s soul in Nymeria.

  The whereabouts of Bran, Sansa and Nymeria are well known. Bran is far north uniting himself with a tree. Sansa is in the Vale, and Nymeria is hunting with her pack in Riverlands. So, how to unite them?

  Bran`s powers are growing, and it`s not that strange to believe that soon he`ll be able to warg almost anything, including Nymeria. Even more, all Stark direwolves are connected to each other, which ultimately means Stark kids are connected to each other. Further more, unlike in the Eyrie, in Royce castle there is a Godswood, so Bran can actually find out about Sansa`s location. Nymeria, on the other hand, has created her own pack and wolves have been following her ever since. Normally and I strongly believe in this, with all those male wolves, she would continue her line.

  But, what kind of wolf Nymeria would give birth? Some sort of breed of northern direwolf and Riverlands` wolf. Unlike Lady who was 100% North, this new cub would be more appropriate to Sansa. And Sansa is Stark, no matter what anyone says. Yes, she lost her direwolf and therefore is disconnected with her Stark side, but throughout the books, she has showed how much of Ned is in her. Basically, I want her to have another cub, some sort of exchange for Lady.

          In short, Nymeria gives birth to a cub. Bran, using his super-warging powers, takes her and her cub to the Gates of the Moon, where is Sansa at the moment. Sansa takes cub a she once took Lady, and befriended it. She hides Nymeria and her cub in Godswood. Ultimately, new cub will be Sansa`s protector.

  This, by all standards, is crazy. But, not just that I want it to work. I actually see it happenning (maybe in some perfect world of mine). But, theories are just that - theories. Maybe I am totally wrong, or maybe somehow this can be true. Do you like it? What do you think?

i think that if she bumped again in to some wolf cubs, she would smother them that same moment.

A bit of a stretch…this is probably a bit too idealistic, considering the kind of story this is.

I actually always thought it more likely that Sansa would end up with Nymeria.

In the beginning Sansa represented the south and Arya represented the north- and they both completely rejected each other. Now that Sansa has matured she really wants to go home, she realized the south she had in mind was a total illusion and she wants the North back more than anything else.

I always picture in my mind Sansa trying to escape somehow and being saved by Nymeria and her great wolf army xD
And humans won't help her home maybe the wolves will. (I know I'm delusional, but I want Nymeria and her wolf army to do something cool )

Foreshadowing from AGoT:

Quote

She could find Nymeria in the wild woods below the Trident, and together they’d return to Winterfelll, or run to Jon on the Wall.”

Arya and Nymeria's story also closely parallels Queen Nymeria. Queen Nymeria was an army commander. Nymeria has gathered an "army" for Arya to command. This can be how Catelyn's vision of seeing Arya as The Warrior manifests itself as Arya herself is not a warrior atm.

As far as puppies...Arya and Nymeria might be the same in this respect and never reproduce. They will only bring death instead of life.

“Some will tell you that they are demons. They say the pack is led by a monstrous she-wolf, a stalking shadow grim and grey and huge. They will tell you that she has been known to bring aurochs down all by herself, that no trap nor snare can hold her, that she fears neither steel nor fire, slays any wolf that tries to mount her, and devours no other flesh but man.”

Nymeria? Who knows. There are rumors that she killed a baby but that is different than her own species.
