Jon’s Romances and the GRRM Rule of Threes

GRRM really likes to write things in threes.

Examples:

literally all of Dany’s prophecies: three heads of the dragon. 3 fires to light, 3 mounts to ride, 3 treasons to know

Three eyed raven

Three Dragons

Three tragic weddings (Red Wedding, Purple Wedding, the Frey Wedding where Stoneheart will avenge the RW)

Three Tourneys (the Hand’s Tourney, Joffrey’s Bday Tourney, Tourney of the Winged Knights in the Vale)

Three conquerors (Aegon, Visenya, Rhaenys)

Siblings tend to come in 3s: 3 Lannisters, 3 Cersei/Jaime Baratheons, Baratheon Bros, 3 Tully children, 3 Targaryens (Dany, Viserys, Rhaegar), 3 other Targaryens (Rhaenys, Aegon, Jon), 3 OG Martells (Doran, Oberon, Elia), 3 new Martells (Arianne, Quentyn, Tristan)

Two other things are most likely going to come in threes:

Dany’s Husbands

Sansa’s Husbands

In the show and in the book, Dany married Drogo and then the Meereenese guy. Sansa has married Tyrion in both, and then Harry Hardyng/Ramsay Bolton. Ramsay marrying Sansa in the show soldified for me that she will marry Harry in the books. They just needed to move her North faster, imo, so that’s why she married Ramsay.

No matter who, Sansa is probably going to be married again. Same probably for Dany.

Tyrion also has had two wives: Sansa and Tysha. I don’t know if it’ll happen in the show, but I definitely get vibes sometimes that he might find another wife in the books. I don’t really know who, but that wouldn’t surprise me.

A common factor between the two ladies? Jon Snow.

Jon Snow has only had one lover (so far in the books): Ygritte. GRRM makes a point to explain the rituals for marrying North of the Wall: you steal your bride and if you can do it then you’re married. People have written other essays saying that Ygritte/Jon were Freefolk married because she essentially “stole” him from the Watch. And Varamir called Ygritte “crow wife” before he died. Ergo, they were technically married.

Since GRRM likes his threes so much, do you suppose he might have Jon marry twice more?

The answer about the “Who” seems obvious: Dany and Sansa.

This could end up two ways. Either my crack OTP of Dany/Jon/Sansa is true, or he marries Dany, she dies, and then he marries Sansa.

I’m not sure what that ending is going to be and I don’t want to predict too much about it, but my last musing is: what if the treason that Dany knows for love is Jon taking a second wife?

This is bordering on fanfiction, but it could very well because that Jon loves both of them and if Dany actually is barren, decides to marry Sansa as a second wife. It’ll feel like a betrayal and be one in the moment, but after a while the OT3 can actually come true.
