Guys,

Here is my submission for the fan fiction segment (please forgive my shitty grammar). Hope you enjoy it!

My focus is on:

A more realistic lead up to Dani going postal.
Make the ending bitter sweet…..all the characters died but the wheel is now broken.

Episode 1 “”Beginning of the End

All the armies and characters gather at Winterfell.
Characters see small signs that Dani could go off the reservation.

Episode 2 “”The Darkest Hour (as in “the darkest hour is before the dawn” )

Show more evidence of Dani’s growing paranoia

Episode 3 “”Death comes to all (keep the title ambiguous who’s death does the title refer to?)

Open with the battle and the living seem to be winning and there is a lull in the action. Then the Night King swoop in on his dragon kill secondary characters like Davos, Jorah, Ed,The Houndsetc. Then he lands and raises the dead! Keep the rest the same as original episode.

Episode 4 -The Living

Open with survivors walking through the battlefield showing all the characters who died.
Major disagreement on tactics against Cersai “”this is when we really see how kray kray Dani is getting!
Jamie is “pardoned ” for his heroic action in the battle trying to save Missandei and decides to head south to be with Cersei.
At the end of the episode they surround Kings Landing but are in turn surrounded by the Golden Company using tactics similar to what Vercingetorix used in the Battle of Alesia. The episode ends with “good” guys panicked and a close up of Cersei’s evil smile.

Episode 5 “”Let slip the dogs of war

Jon Snow suggests some stupid battle move but before he acts Dani swoops in with her two dragons and burns all the Golden Company. Then she to take out the defenses of Kings Landing resulting in the bells being rung. However, a rouge soldier kills Rhaegal with a bolt and this was the last straw for Dani who finally goes over the deep end and burns Kings Landing.
Jamie gets inside the city and meets up with Cersei,they embrace, he kills her and he, in turn, is killed by the Mountain. Just as he kills Jamie,Arya arrives and fights the Mountain and kills him.

Episode 6 “”The Ides of March or Crossing the Rubicon

Varys and Tyrion finally realize that Dani needs to go.
Varys tries to kill Dani but fails and is killed. Jon tries to talk to Dani but her paranoia gets the better of her and she kills Jon. Then she goes into a power trance staring at the Iron Throne and Tyrion creeps up behind and kills her and is, in turn, is toasted by Drogon, who in turn is killed by a crossbow fired by Arya.
Long discussion at Mute on options going forward and it is decided that all 7 kingdoms should be independent but work together AKA don’t put the wheel back together.
Last scene “”Iron Throne being destroyed.

I am already excited for WW season 3 based on the trailer – hopefully they will not dumb it down to get a larger audience. This is where I think the last couple of season’s of GOT went wrong – keep it grey/morally ambiguous not black and white.

Thanks for the millionth time for all the hard work you guys put in :>

Best.
