Recently I came across an unfamiliar usage of よろしくnamely よろしくas an particle?
adverb? Probably it means something like ～ように。I was told it gives the sentence
an "ironic" nuance but I am not sure how to understand that and couldn't
really find further information on it.  
How does one use よろしく in this sense and how would your interpretation of the
examples below be?

> 「全員、中学生なんだ」アキが言った。全員のまとめ役 **よろしく** 、みんなを見渡して頷く。

> 「食べられるっていうのは文字通りの意味で？」と彼女が続けた。”オオカミさま”が頷いた。「そりゃもう、頭から丸のみ」。  
>  「ただし、童話 **よろしく** お母さんを呼んできて腹かっさばいて、かわりに石を詰めるとかやめろよ。充分に気を付けるように」

About the story: Seven kids meet in an parallel universe and a mysterious girl
called オオカミさま is explaining the rules of this world to them. She claims that
if they break the rules they get eaten by a wolf.

My guess would be よろしく modifies the preceding noun giving it the nuance of
"even though it's not x treating it as it were x".

  * "even though she is not the mediator/leader acting like she would be"
  * "even though it's not a fairy tale treating it like one" But I have no confidence at all in this interpretation.

Your interpretations are correct.

> 上の内容を受けて、いかにもそれらしく、の意を表す。「喜劇俳優宜しくおどけてみせる」

Some comments:

  * I agree that this よろしく is used like a particle, but it is an adverb all the same.
  * Your interpretation _even though it is not X_ is not off, but it is more simply _exactly like X_ or _as if it were X_ (which I think already contains the meaning that the thing is not X).
  * Just in case, the 童話 refers to [赤ずきん](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Red_Riding_Hood).
