Possible, he could be at Reach fighting against Euron or with Loras?
It does make sense that fighting men from the Reach would be not sitting in Kings Landing, but out doing something to get Westeros consolidated under the idea of Lannister/Tyrell power. I am not sure what GRRM might have in mind for these green and red apple Fossoway's, or if Jon Fossoway will ever get a significant mention again. Jon and Janna don't seem to have any children, or at least none are listed. What would we get if we crossed a green apple Fossoway with a Tyrell golden rose? A golden apple? Golden apples have several different meanings in mythology, but they are always powerful or sought after as far as I can tell. But I don't know if GRRM has any such plans for Janna and Jon.
I think the purpose of the PWiP is to resolve the songs of ice and fire in some way. Not that it means that he should be of a mixed bloodline. As Jojen says:
A Storm of Swords - Bran II
"Because they're different," he insisted. "Like night and day, or ice and fire." "If ice can burn," said Jojen in his solemn voice, "then love and hate can mate. Mountain or marsh, it makes no matter. The land is one."
"One," his sister agreed, "but over wrinkled."
I think he is saying that two songs must meld together and become one song, like in a symphony when two themes blend together. Then the land will heal and winter/summer return to normal. The song has been split apart.
To me, Dany represents the song of fire:
A Game of Thrones - Daenerys III
Day followed day, and night followed night, until Dany knew she could not endure a moment longer. She would kill herself rather than go on, she decided one night …
Yet when she slept that night, she dreamt the dragon dream again. Viserys was not in it this time. There was only her and the dragon. Its scales were black as night, wet and slick with blood. Her blood, Dany sensed. Its eyes were pools of molten magma, and when it opened its mouth, the flame came roaring out in a hot jet. She could hear it singing to her. She opened her arms to the fire, embraced it, let it swallow her whole, let it cleanse her and temper her and scour her clean. She could feel her flesh sear and blacken and slough away, could feel her blood boil and turn to steam, and yet there was no pain. She felt strong and new and fierce.
What she experiences is a spiritual cleansing and a transformation.
The question for me is who represents the opposite; the song of ice. I think this will be Jon. But I don't think this means that there will be some romance to solve the imbalance between ice and fire. I think they both have to destroy the magic that causes the imbalance.
The legacy of the song of ice and fire will belong to those who survive to remake the world. I think that does belong to Aegon and Sansa.

Possible, I sometime think if Song of Ice and Fire is Aegon's because he will be in conflict with both sides and won the fight over them, but a symphony makes sense too, I think Arya is the aria of this song?

I think that Rhaegar meant for Aegon to heal the rifts after the song is done. It seems consistent with his education and Rhaegar's plans for Westeros after Aerys is deposed. Only he didn't survive the Trident. A restoring of the Shire if you like. I think to heal the rift between north and south, to make the land one; he will marry Sansa, if ice can burn.
I like the idea that Arya provides the aria to the song.

How about a marriage between Val and Aegon? Prince that was Promised and Princess of Free Folk?

Anything is possible of course. I like the idea that in the bittersweet ending; that Sansa will finally get her dragonfly prince and Aegon must surely make things by joining their houses.

Of course, I sometime think if it is possible Aegon VI is similar to Aegon III, gaining the throne after a bloody war, one ruling when dragons died, the other when they were reborn. Maybe Aegon will marry Myrcella for political purposes and become a Casterly figure, one who hunted down the Lioness Cersei but didn't touch the pups, but Myrcella will be thrown out like Jaehaera to make way for another queen.

Unfortunately, I don't think Myrcella will survive, but I can see Cersei brokering that marriage. I do see Sansa being the lone Stark survivor and Tyrion brokering the marriage between North and South in the end of all things. A final reparation to Sansa.

Why reparation to Sansa? Why is she owed more than any of her siblings? They all have suffered? And in Sansa's early story, much of what went wrong for her was of her own making. And yes, I know she was a child, but still, her disloyalty to her family is still hard for me to come to terms with. I do like the idea that Sansa will, based on her marriage to Tyrion, which is still legally binding, and based on the fall of the Lannister's, that she will gain access to Casterly Rock. The marriage that Tywin meant to steal Winterfell and give it to the Lannister's will eventually steal Casterly Rock and give it to the Stark's. The best type of irony. Also, there feels like hints that tie Sansa or Arya to Harrenhal, and while Arya has a personal connection to Harrenhal, to me it feels like it's Sansa that is going to be ultimately connected to that place. I could certainly be misreading that, though.
Their father understood as well. "You want no pup for yourself, Jon?" he asked softly.

If this works out, there is something poetic about it. Sansa is of ice but has hair of fire. Aegon is of fire but has hair of ice (if it's truly silver). This does meld together in an interesting way. And Aegon seems like a prince that Sansa could love, but also who might be worthy of her. He might be arrogant and a bit spoiled, but I think he is a decent person who does care for those around him and would care for his people. And Sansa really is this type of person as well, after you peel away the layers of her being a spoiled and ungrateful shit early in the story. I have always felt like Aegon/Young Griff would die before the story ends, but I might be quite wrong about that.

Maybe, I do think Tommen's death in show will be about Myrcella and has some connection to Jarhaera. I also think she may die to make way for Daenerys, but I would prefer Val as bride. Though what about a marriage between Allyria Dayne and Aegon?
