Charles has been talking to a guy on the Mutant & Proud dating site for the last two months. He's fairly certain he's being catfished because the guy's profile picture is Erik Lehnsherr, famous actor and A-list celebrity, but he's enjoying their conversations all the same.
Never in a million years would he ever imagine that he's actually been flirting with Erik Lehnsherr, and that Erik Lehnsherr is actually into him. Because that would never, ever happen in real life...right?

In which Dokja and Joonghyuk accidentally catfish each other in an online game, only to fall in love with their real-life selves as well.
Featuring a lot of denial and hopeless pining as these two idiots somehow continue to cockblock themselves.
10/10. Would recommend.

Tags
Summary
“You could have told me you’d downloaded it, you know. I wouldn’t have been mad.” Namjoon finally admits, though Yoongi doesn’t understand what he’s saying at all.
“What are you talking about?” He asks, but it seems the younger is on a train of thought that shows no sign of slowing down.
Namjoon has his chin resting in his hand, one leg neatly folded over the other as he leans in the chair, completely rambling. “If anything, I’m happy you’re finally doing something that isn’t locking yourself in the studio all day-“
“Joon,” Yoongi interrupts him, flicking his forehead to get his attention. “Words. Use them. Coherently.”
“It came out that you downloaded Tinder again,” Namjoon blinks. “Soompi did a whole article.”
God, one of these days, he’s really going to end up just throwing his whole phone away.
Or where rapper Yoongi, who keeps his identity hidden, finds out somebody is using a fake Tinder profile of himself to... promote his own music? Cue Jeon Jeongguk, 'Suga's biggest fan.'

Summary
Hawks’ golden eyes flick from Natsuo to Touya to the computer screen and then back again. “…dude,” he breathes, wide-eyed. “Are you catfishing Shigaraki?”
“No!” Natsuo yells, grabbing his own hair. “I’m just—I played a female character because the tails are fluffier! And then I added a voice changer because it fit her character better! And then I ran into No Hands On Me, and—and he was really nice to me! Kind of a jerk at first, but he listens a lot, and he helped me on a quest, and then he asked me to join his guild, and things—things just kind of escalated from there…”
or Natsuo plays an online MMORPG as a female character, gets really close to No Hands On Me, and then finds out he's actually the former League of Villains Leader
