Des explains their differing reactions to the Bastard at the end of ‘Demon Daughter’ that Atto is too young to be corrupt and so doesn’t fear Him, and Des is too old not to be corrupt and so fears being taken by Him. Is there any possible fate for a demon other than their destruction at some point, either by a Saint of the Bastard after ascending their host, or by the Bastard Himself for killing a person?
Lois McMaster Bujold
Answer unknown at this time. If there is another fate, it is very rare.
The third method of destruction for a demon is to be stuck somewhere when their host dies with no other possible living host within jumping range. In which case they more-or-less evaporate. (Neither plants nor insects can support a demon, nor most cold-blooded animals except the very largest.)

I recently finished listening to all 19 episodes of, "My Word as Vorkosigan," on the podcast Plot Trysts. I greatly enjoyed them. A big thank you to hosts Alex and Meg! And a wonderful idea that they included other published authors as guests to discuss your work. But my favorite episode was when they interviewed you. Have You listened to any/all of the podcast episodes? And if so, what did you take away from it?
