There won't be any trite eye-rolling of a typical fantasy ending for ASOIAF. Martin's made that clear. He once described the something as bittersweet and something like a barren field with cold winds washing over fields of bones. I'll try to find the exact quote.
EDIT: Found the quote. Turns out it was just a snarky response to a reader who complained about all the deaths, and he joked by saying there would be no characters left in the 7th book, and it would just be a garden of bones.
But if there's one author who I trust to not pull the "triumphant dragon-riding-perfect-queen-returns-to-save-the-world-and-then-rule" trope, it's GRRM.
Hell, dany and jon could be killed and maybe tyrion rules with varys. Plenty of possibilities.
