There must always be a Stark in Winterfell

I hope GRRM took notes on what worked and what didn't for when/if ever he finishes the books.

My 2 cents:
Bran can't be king. He's just gonna be the new Three-Eyed Raven.
Sansa can't be Queen in the North, unless she moves her court to the Dreadfort (there must always be a Stark in Winterfell) or pulls a QE II and says her children are Starks regardless of the father's family name. Or as apparently Maege Mormont did.
Same with Arya.
Rickon will probably end up being King in the North. It seems that's Lord Manderly's plan.
Jon could be the heir to Winterfell but if R+L=J is true, then he's aTargaryen, not a Stark. I guess him, Daenerys and Young Griff could be a throuple and be the kings and queen of the Seven Kingdoms (but that leaves out Arianne Martell).
Jaime's twist worked for me.

Why would Sansa honour her marriage with the Boltons after their demise? Also, in the books Sansa may not have anything to do with them.

I don't mean honor her marriage to them.
I mean move her court to the Dreadfort and THEN marry someone else. Make the "capital" of the North the someplace else other than Winterfell. Ramsay was dead, so she's a widow.

But, yes, in the books it doesn't seem that arc is gonna happen. At least not yet.

Why would she move to the Dreadfort if Winterfell was rebuilt?

"There must always be a Stark in Winterfell."
SHE is a Stark, but eventually she will marry and have kids. Her kids won't be so they can't rule the North from Winterfell.
