With the loss of winterfell Jon decides the best place to hold them is at the twins. With the bridge being the only way to cross you force them in a bottleneck.
In this scenario Arya hasn't killed Walder. Jon meets up and gathers with Arya, Blackfish (the siege of riverrun having been lifted as Walder pulls back a fortifies the twins), Sansa, Bran, Baelish, Yara, Beric, Thoros, the hound and Theon(who never went to Dany and instead chose to support Jon.)
The NK continues his onslaught of what's left in the north while the north that did choose to go south faces the twins.
The taking of the twins isn't something glossed over with teleporting Arya. While Arya will be the 1 to kill Walder it's spread out over 2 episodes and involves her saving Edmure. It'll be some Assassin's creed shit. Also would have more scenes with Walder building him up to make his demise all the more impactful.
The following episodes will mostly focus on Dany sailing and Arya's infiltration of the twins. Before killing Walder in 1 of his rooms she will find the rotting body of her brother. This will be a really emotional scene and will provoke a very vindictive Arya. (Little tangent I do think in the books Walder is holding his body I'll bet money on it.) Also Bran uses his warging into rats to help her along her reconnaissance.
With the fall of Walder Arya threatens to kill his wife if she doesn't open the gates and swear fealty. With the surrender of the remaining Freys the Starks and greyjoys now occupy the twins. Instead of genociding the remaining Freys they ally with them aware that they can't do this alone.
I would also give scenes to Robin and Royce and show the impact and the positive influence Royce has on him and how he convinces him to send some of his army to support them at the twins.
With the Twins now fortified with Greyjoys, Starks, Tully's, Arryn, and Frey the NK descends upon them once he finishes everyone north.
While the battle would start heavily in Jon's favor the Neverending wave of dead would begin to overwhelm him. With nobody being familiar fighting giant spiders, bears, giants, and mammoths the battle starts dipping into the NK's favor. I'd also kill Yara, the blackfish, and Sam. (They don't do anything anyways.)
With The blackfish and Arya having spent time together his death would greatly affect her and having him dying protecting her would probably be the best choice. In his final time he would attempt to consulate Arya by telling her "I never wanted to die in a shit place like this." (Or he could die telling her she reminds him of her mother or something.)
As the dead start coming over the wall Dany's forces would sweep in. While there is joyous, confusion and relief with Dany's arrival she's suddenly hit with a bolt of lightning killing her instantly. Ok now hear me out. It obviously wouldn't be immediate she'd wreck some shit but she would inevitably fall.
(Like that scene from LOTR where Saruman conjures lighting with a spell to dissuade the fellowship from going over the mountains and forcing then under it.) It would be similar to that. The NK is not on the front line it makes no sense for him to be. He watches the battle from afar and shows great annoyance with Dany's arrival. (And chucking spears like Tom Brady is just stupid.)
As Dany kills thousands of dead she notices clouds getting darker and thunder in the distance. She's suddenly hit and both her and drogon fall to their death. (This is 1 time I thing slow motion could work perhaps with Jorah watching her fall and attempting to find her body before being restrained.)
With her untimely death the NK retreats his forces. As powerful as the NK is he is unsure and hesitant to reawaken a dragon as he has never crossed such a beast (a magical 1) and is unsure if he could control it.
With the death of Dany and destruction of the twins they make the bold choice to make their way to Kings Landing with Dany's allies knowing they can no longer hold this position.
Upon their mother and brother's death both Raegal and Viserys fly away and take residence in Harrenhall. Why Harrenhall? Idk cuz it's been destroyed by dragon fire, is massive, and abandoned. That shit would be bad ass two giant ass dragons in the ruins of a once great castle destroyed by dragon fire.
Edit - in this scenario Dany does not lead the dothraki as it's impossible to actually have it make sense with the little time we have left. Also why I didn't go the mad queen route. There's just not enough time to do either of those successfully.
Edit 2 - the writers just kinda forgot about Darrio so so did I. Her other allies like greyworm, tyrion, varys are there but they did nothing noteworthy. Having a scene tho of Kinvara trying to talk Dany out of going to westeros would be a good scene.
And sorry if my writing is really bad it's like 3am. I am very biased tho and dislike Dany which is kinda why I killed her I don't think she's that great of a character.
