Write-in: Lady Stoneheart/Margaery Tyrell. (Margaery alive in books. Margaery making album of books. Fast rap Margaery books.)

Of these options, Jon/Lyanna.

As a Stark loyalist, I'd very much like to vote for Sansa (especially knowing that Jon has Targaryen blood... eww), but if she actually associates with the scum who betrayed Ned she'll have forfeited any dynastic right. So Jon I guess.

To be fair to Sansa, she's a traumatized teenage girl and he's a creepy pimp who's blatantly grooming her.

I hardly think it's 'happily ever after storytelling' to have Sansa holed up in the Vale indefinitely, more or less safe but away from home and lonely, but maybe that's just me. Also, that's...that's literally Sansa's current position in the books, minus having Littlefinger executed (which would be so satisfying after everything he'd at that point already done to her father, and her mother, and her, but again, maybe that's just me). Littlefinger is simply not an interesting character. His continued presence is a drag in both the books and the show.

Also the stuff with Sansa in season 5 had to happen for Theon to break from the Reek identity.

True or not (and in my reading of the storyline it's not), that's a pretty depressing extrinsic purpose to use a female character for. (Which, granted, is a sentiment that could apply to so, so much in both the books and the show.)

I actually agree with this, but I know plenty of people who don't and am not sure Antonio would.
