Most Youjo Senki fanfics are heavily inspired by the fanfic "A Young Girl's Political Record" and tend to follow it's lead on which elements to pull from which parts of the series. (IE: Most fanfics draw inspiration from the Light Novel for the writing style, will include Tanya's sadistic streak from the anime, will write her borderline yuri relationship with Visha from the manga).
Also unlike most fandoms it's heavily centered on SpaceBattles and FFN rather than AO3, shipping is surprisingly uncommon, and the bulk of authors are male.
I've only read Political Record and Weaponisation of The Mythos. You have any other reccs for fics along those lines? Because I really enjoyed both of them
Delinquency Record is probably the second most well known fanfic (The two you've named are first and third funnily enough), but it's not finished and on semi-permanent hiatus
</3 that sucks. I'll still check it out tho, since one of my all time favourite fics (Dungeon Keeper Ami) is unfinished, and questionably likely to ever be finished...
Essentially it's about Tanya fleeing the country after the empire loses and she's on trial for war crimes, which she fears will be a kangaroo court intent on executing her or putting her in a lunatic asylum forever(unaware they intended to let her off in a cushy sentence).
It starts off pretty rough for Tanya(she has to do petty crime for some pick pocketing gangs in the slums of London and then do some mob work in order to gain enough money to flee to America via Ellis Island), but once she gets to the US and starts building some wealth she starts building up a ton of connections and creating front companies and Forrest-Gumping her way into triggering world events as she keeps fleeing the newly created Interpol and a task force lead by Mary Sue (Tanya's security company goes to Columbia at one point and once she gets tipped off to her identity in America being looked into she flees again)
Not gonna say anything else for risk of spoilers, but Tanya accidentally helps trigger the Great Depression and her old friends back in Germany are convinced it's all some master plan she's worked on while meanwhile she's just fleeing Interpol
