Since there seemed to be evidence for a Jon and Arya romance in the novels even before the infamous original outline came out with them as the main love story of the series, does anyone still think this is the plan going forward or have the characters not aged up fast enough to get there?
I can go either way on it since I do see the foreshadowing and the intensity of Jon's affection for Arya which seems to dictate the type of women he is attracted to. On the other hand, GRRM seems to dither
Arya's story is the great love story of the series, it is between her and Gendry. She will love Gendry but he is too lowborn, and duty will force her to sacrifice her love (and their child) for the good of her many subjects. The selfish wild child ultimately does the realm the greatest act of service and adheres to strict cultural norms. That's the arc. Jon will be her king and lord and will betroth princess Arya to who he decides for the purpose of sealing alliances and securing peace.
