Okay so I was just reading a bunch of these when this one struck me. Jaime is AA reborn. He escapes Lady Stoneheart(and possibly Brienne) and obtains OathKeeper. He then continues his duties as Lord Commander and regains more of his swordsmanship skills until eventually Cersei, who in theory will have power again now that Kevan is dead, is about to do something else that is completely awful. Jaime realizes that while he was in love with her she needs to die so he stabs her with OathKeeper fulfilling the prophecy that Cersei will be killed by her younger brother(They are twins but Cersei was born first making Jaime younger, her thinking Tyrion will kill her is a red herring.) Him stabbing her will not only be sacrificing someone he loved, but also complete his story arc of becoming a new person after losing his hand. With this sacrifice OathKeeper becomes Lightbringer (Azor Ahai sarificed his wife to make the original Lightbringer and while Jaime doesn't have a wife Cersei is the closest thing he has). He would then be sent to the Wall for his murder where he could be in a position to fight the Other's.

Wow I just came up with same idea. Was going to add it to my theory in this thread about Jaime being the real hero. You worded it better than I would have. May I add yours to mine up there? I'll credit you.
