Here's further proof that the hottest 'Game of Thrones' couple are made for each other

Warning: Spoilers ahead.

LONDON -- We all know by now that the biggest talking point of this Game of Thrones season so far has been the will-they-won't-they romance blossoming between Tormund and Brienne.

First, they shared that look over a shadowy dinner table at Castle Black; then there were more looks and hints that Brienne had mixed feelings about her bearded suitor; fans started making romantic YouTube montages in the hope that they'd one day be together; then, tragically, they got separated.

Now, though, Vanity Fair has spotted evidence that their sweet union is written in the stars.

Here's a clip of Tormund in the Battle of the Bastards spliced with a clip of Brienne fighting the Hound.

That's right, folks: the showrunners can't have done that by accident.

They're both strapping six-footers, they're both fearsome warriors, and they've both got a predilection for biting chunks out of their enemies during one-on-one combat.

If these two don't end up together, then frankly the whole series is flawed.
