Lois McMaster Bujold
Answer presently unknown, to either Pen or Des or their author. It is possible that if Pen is long-lived enough, their melding would have effects not feasible to be seen before in any other shorter-lived sorcerer-demon pairing. We're talking centuries here, not mere decades. Which would have other effects on Pen, over time, as everyone he's ever loved dies before him...
Or, y'know, it may not be possible, and the extended life the attempt by them both to stave off that inevitable end as long as possible, or till they're both ready to throw in the towel. A certain flavor of elegiac tragedy either way.

Lois McMaster Bujold:
I am working on three books, #s 11, 12, & 13. This is usual for me; when energy/enthusiasm on one flags I've usually got one of the others to fall back on. Failing that I reread a favorite book, often one by this writer named Bujold, which always rejuvenates me. I'm finding elements of Lodi seeping into one of them. Does that sometimes happen to you (say of Heyer or Sayers) ?
