Sirius as Red Riding Hood making his voice more and more seductive with each new "and what big x you have" until the Wolf isn't sure what's going on anymore.
or,
Sirius, who has heard rumours about a wolf eating people and wants to investigate, wanders through the woods. He finds Remus, a werewolf cursed to stay in his wolf form, who lives a hermit life in a little hut away from society. He has a cute vegetable garden and everything, trying hard to live a good life and do no harm. Sirius knocks on his door, and as he sees this beautiful wolf-man dressed in normal human clothes, obviously trying to look less intimidating, he's enamoured. But he hasn't forgotten what he came there for so he starts investigating. However, his flirty questions and comments don't really lead to any answers, besides making Remus more and more flustered. The poor wolf-man isn't sure what to do or make of this bold and handsome stranger insisting on returning every day until the mystery has been solved...
Happy birthday week to @polaroidcats who keeps trying to curse my fairytale aus, so here's one made specially with and for her <3

Honestly with the workload these kids be getting, what they are studying in school and just generally how they are treated. You really forget these kids are like 6 years old.
Anya is the only one that consistently acts her age and so she sometimes comes off as immature which is insane when you think about it they are all literally 6. This also works cause we can assume she is a year or 2 younger than the rest of her grade, still, even then it’s insane.
Which is why when the other kids actually start to show their age usually in situations of great emotion, the bus hijacking for one. Or even when the kids think one of them is going to have to leave because his family is now poor and they all rally around this kid they never even really spoke to, or when they literally think that some macaroons will make them smarter and help them pass the test. Or when they simply want to play outside.
it’s so jarring and you’re left being like oh right they're six, this isn’t normal. Six-year-olds shouldn't be put under this kind of pressure.
It's another neat little insight into just what kind of society these kids are living in. And a little bit of irony that Loid who wants to create a society where little kids don't have to cry anymore is on a mission that requires the infiltration of a school where little kids can't even be ones.

Byrd: Dad?
Oscar: Morning, bud.. miserable day, huh? I’m not looking forward to packing up in the rain.
Oscar: Did you sleep okay?
Byrd: Erm…
Oscar: GO GET YOUR HEARING AIDS!
[Byrd fidgeted guilty, implying that he’d lost yet another pair]
Byrd: [sobs] Why do I have to be deaf without them, papa-.. s’not fair.
[Oscar held Byrd tightly, stroking his back until his sobs subsided somewhat]
Oscar: LET’S SEE WHAT WE CAN DO…
[Oscar plonked Byrd outside as he rummaged through his bags, eventually producing a backup pair of hearing aids]
Oscar: Better?
[Byrd nodded gratefully, burying his snotty nose in his father’s hair as he threw his arms around him]
Oscar: Maybe you ought to think twice about learning SSL.
Byrd: What’s the point? No one else knows it.
Oscar: Robin does, and we all know bits n’ pieces, don’t we?
[Byrd grumbled disinterestedly]
Oscar: I think it’s long overdue, pal-.. what if we all learn it together? Properly this time.
Byrd: I guess…
Oscar: All I heard was yes.
Byrd: Are you deaf too?
Oscar: [snorts] C’mon, we’ll probably find the other pairs as we clear up.
Wren: Daaaaad, it’s raining!
Oscar: The faster we get goin’, the faster we’ll be in the car-.. I bet Wren can pack up faster than you.
Byrd: [gasps] NO WAY!

Okay, my brain refuses to think about anything other than Murderbot, so I looked at every use of the word "friend[s]" in TMBD and... created some pie charts. Normal human activities.
Some Thoughts™ I had while putting this together (under the cut):
In All Systems Red, Murderbot notes that the PresAux crew are all close friends (twice! and goes on to explain their internal relationships which I think is very cute). This is pretty much the only use of 'friends' in ASR, except for when Murderbot says that SecUnits can't be friends with each other.
It seems that this may be one of the first times Murderbot has ever really been around a group of friends before? Murderbot notes that this is not the norm for its contracts and admits that the fact that they are all friends and the way they interact with each other make it actually enjoy that contract (before!!!! the hostile attack, so it already enjoys this contract before they start seeing it as a person etc ghghhhh). [Inference: Friendship seems enjoyable.]
The first character that calls Murderbot its friend is ART in Artificial Condition. Murderbot immediately refutes this (and then goes on to call ART its friend to its clients for the rest of the book). [Inference: Maybe ART is Murderbot's friend. And maybe that is... agreeable]
Rogue Protocol has more than twice as many instances of the word 'friend' as any of the other novellas. Why? Miki. Friendship and its implications for non-humans are a central theme because Miki is friends with everyone. Murderbot initially scoffs at the notion that Miki and Miki's humans are friends. At the end of the book, after witnessing how desperately Don Abene tried to stop Miki from trying to save them, and her grief after its death, Murderbot has to admit that she had in fact been Miki's friend. [Inference: Humans can be friends with bots and can sincerely care about them]
In Exit Strategy, Murderbot tentatively uses the word "friends" for its humans for the first time (several times actually). It questions whether it can actually call them its friends or not and later realizes that it had been afraid what admitting that the humans are its friends would do to it. At the end of the book, Mensah tells Murderbot the PresAux crew are its friends, which is the first time a human has directly said that to it (at least on-page). [Inference: Humans can and want to be Murderbot's friends]
In Network Effect, Murderbot seems to be more habituated to the word 'friend', confidently calling ART and Ratthi its friends, like it is no longer just trying the concept on unsure if it fits. There are many instances in which other characters refer to MB as ART's friend or the other way around and Murderbot's humans refer to Murderbot as their friend several times. Generally, there seems to be less hesitancy, because yes, all of them are Murderbot's friends, why wouldn't they be. [Inference: SecUnits can have friends. This SecUnit has friends. They care about it a lot.]
Conclusion: The Murderbot Diaries tell the story of a construct that does not seem to consider the possibility of friendship for itself and is fine with that - until it accidentally starts caring a little too much and suddenly more and more people annex it as a friend (ew) to the point where it can no longer deny that this is happening and has to begrudgingly admit that yes, it has friends now and maybe that is actually not a bad thing.
