What happens to Stannis (and Melisandre) when he realizes he’s not Azor Ahai?

I’m starting to think the Lord of Light is just as hands off as the rest of the “good” gods.

Stannis, his burnt sword and Melisandre are all serving the Great Other and don’t have the ability to look at their actions outside of their worldview. The un-believer, Stannis and the believer, Melisandre both think they’re good and right and that’s the only thing that matters.
