Surely AACR2 26.2A1 covers this:
Refer from a name used by a person, or found in reference sources, that is different from the name used in the heading for that person. (For persons entered under two or more different headings, see also 26.2C1 and 26.2D1.) Typical instances are:
Pseudonym to real name
Saint-Aubin, Horace de
see Balzac, Honoré de
<...>
[DJL] Fictitious names are pseudonyms, and if you know the real person, and the situation doesn't call for separate bibliographic identities, then these fictitious names should be added as references to the authority for the real guy.

Subject: [PCCLIST] Forwarding cancellation report FYI
Hi all,
I sent a request to Coop to cancel 5 NARs that were all set up for
fictitious attributions which were all actually works written by Lawrence
G. Van Velzer. They are all April Fool's Day pranks of a sort. In case
you have any of these names in your catalog, you'll want to follow AACR2
21.4C1 and change the main entry to Van Velzer.
--Adam
P.S. I know that in RDA these names would be taken at face value and that
they can be valid RDA access points. If anyone wants to convert the
authorities to RDA that would be an alternative option. The bibliographic
records cited are AACR2 and under AACR2 these names are not valid
headings.

Subject: Cancel NARs
Coop,
The following NARs were established incorrectly because the works are
attributed to fictitious characters. The works cited are April Fool's Day
publications created by Van Velzer, Lawrence G. According to AACR2 21.4C1: "If
responsibility for a work is known to be erroneously or fictitiously attributed
to a person, enter under the actual personal author or under title if the
actual personal author is not known." The example shown in AACR2 is:
The adventure of the peerless peer / by John H. Watson ; edited by Philip Jose
Farmer
(Written by Farmer as if by the fictitious Dr. Watson)
Main entry under the heading for Farmer
On the basis of 21.4C1, the following name authorities should be cancelled,
since they should never have been established as valid AACR2 names:
no2008187523 Barnaby, Baxter Jay
nr2006008010 Cottinghamton, Peter Alfred
nr2005008665 Durfort, Laurent
no2006072685 Quagga, Basil Roan
nb 99047523 Tobu, Sho, 1640-ca. 1699
We did not move these names to be former headings on the NAR for Van Velzer,
Lawrence G., because AACR2 doesn't say to make a reference from a fictitious
name. There is no 4XX for Watson, John H. on the NAR for Farmer, Philip Jose.
Thanks,
Adam
