Although that ‘cute bastard wolf’ might be her cousin, unless R + L = J doesn’t apply in your scenario.

I think by the time Argella would plan something for Jon, he’d already be a member of the Night’s Watch, unless your plans for him would be different.It would, but I think the character's plan there would be to pimp him out to Deanarys offer a joint monarchy to be later unified by marrying their kids.
She'd likely try and make a similar offer to the Blackfyre pretender and the Golden company once she realizes the nonsense about ice fairies isn't nonsense.
"Our Grandchildren will sit upon an Iron throne in the shadows of a living realm, not one of corpses...bloodlines unified or else all perishes with our squabbling."
edit-I don't think it would be that easy, but that would probably be the strategy.

In this case however, I’d probably see Sansa married off to either a Valeman (Harry Hardyng), a Dornishman (Edric Dayne) or Domeric Bolton.
And Stannis would be a hypocrite if he contested Argella’s claim on the throne, given that Shireen is his only daughter who would have the same claim as her older cousin in this scenario.
The only legitimizeable specimen is Edric. Son of a Highborn Lady, related to half the Reach, raised by Renly in Storms End. A ready made Lord.Argella might legitimize Gendry, Mya, and perhaps Edric Storm,
True, although in canon TV show that didn't stop Dany from legitimizing him.The only legitimizeable specimen is Edric. Son of a Highborn Lady, related to half the Reach, raised by Renly in Storms End. A ready made Lord.
Mya is a girl, daughter of a commoner in the Vale. Even if raised as minor nobility she is not Lord Paramount material.
Gendry? GENDRY? LOL! He's an absolute nobody, a Kings Landing guttersnipe.

- Star-Crossed Trout: Basically a Romeo and Juliet style story, but in this case the Tullys and the Daynes have a blood feud with each other over some minor incident. It involves Edmure Tully meeting and falling in love with Allyria Dayne, to the fury of the houses involved.
Tywin or Robert would be a good representation of the Prince from Romeo and Juliet, while Jason Mallister would be a good Benvolio.The Shinsengumi in Westeros.
Specifically the Rouroni Kenshin version.
"House Stark's most feared bannermen have come! The Wolves of Mibu castle!"
"Slay Evil Instantly"
"I shall call Arthur's blade limp which is a disgrace should he bear it!"
"GO FORTH WALDER I SHALL BACK THEE!"
"Peace? Verily Edmure I hate the word as I hate the seven hells and all Tully's!"
Robert sauntering drunkenly into the aftermath
"ALL ART PUNISHED! ALLL ARRT PUNISHED...now someone get me a fook'n drink"

The benefits of the Golden Company are entirely outweighed by the political and social costs of making nice with the Blackfyres and bringing their army to Westeros.
Using the Unsullied would be worse unless you take the Daenerys approach, and that has its own issues.I do, sort of see the Golden Company's benefit in that you can use them or unsullied to essentially form the core of a "national army." other than that, you're right.
And there are probably less contentious ways to do that.
I would have thought that Joffrey’s plan to create a professional standing army does have merit, though if it went the path of JOctavian fic, where that fic’s Joffrey would use the City Watch as a basis for an actual standing army, it might go well.
He had been a crazy sadist for years already - I'd not expect much change.Here's also one question that bugs me: what would a reign of Aerys II look like without the Defiance of Duskendale incident that made him go on the deep end of his sanity?
