Dendro Archon IK au:

So you know how Archons names are from the Ars Goetia, one of the books in The Lesser Key of Solomon. When IK heard OM Beelzebub and Barbatos's name, she became confused because they don't look like her fellow archons "wait I'm pretty sure you don't look like that???"

I wonder how OM Barbatos and Beelzebub react to hearing what their Archon counterpart is like?

Also since Buer (Nahida's Archon name) is part of the Ars Goetia as well which therefore means is one of Solomon pact demons. I just imagine Solomon summoning demon Buer and just say "Buer this is Buer, Buer this is other Buer"

Demon Buer is confused as why the hell did their master call the exchange student Buer, isn't their name IK????

oo it's been a while for this au!!

i think their reactions would depend on how ik describes venti and ei, which would respectively be "a nice bard who composes nice poems and drinks too much" and "pretty lady who killed a really big snake and accidentally cut a few islands in half in the process"

i imagine om barbatos is a little peeved by how unrefined his teyvat counterpart is, but he does begrudgingly admit he likes the poems ik passes on to him. meanwhile beel's wondering if he could reasonably fight off a massive serpent too (levi has to actively prevent him from goading henry 1.0 into testing his theory out)

something i think would be fun to do with the fact that archons have demon names... solomon wonders if the similarity could apply to other things, so he's always contriving to get ik to make a 'pact' with him, even though archons can't do that (but now he's too committed to the bit to stop)
