All fairytale fans heard about or know about the ATU, the Aarne-Thompson-Uther classification, this international classification of folktales and fairytales in numbered types.
But do you know that there are other fairytale classifications? Local fairytale classifications? And since I am French let me present you...
The Delarue-Tenèze classification. Also known as "Le Conte populaire français" (The French Folktales), of its complete title "Catalogue raisonné des versions de France et des pays de langue française d'outremer" (Reasoned catalogue of the versions of France and French-speaking oversea countries).
This book/classification, created by Paul Delarue and Marie-Louise Tenèze, and published in five volumes between 1957 and 2000, is a study of folkloric fairytales inspired by the ATU, which it heavily borrows from and frequently references. However, the Delarue-Tenèze classification is an exclusively French system. That is to say all the folktales and fairytales studied there are originating from France, or present in countries that inherited some of French culture. The complete list of countries is: "France, Canada, Louisiana, French islands of the USA, French West Indies, Haïti, Maurice island, La Réunion". By studying, comparing and classifying the French-speaking (or French-written) fairytales of these various areas, Delarue and Tenèze managed to create a complete study of the history and evolution of essentially French fairytales, excluding all the types of stories that are typically not found on French-speaking lands.
It was thanks to the work of Delarue and Tenèze that we notably can reconstruct what the fairytales of Perrault, for example, ORIGINALLY looked like before the author took them back and rerote them. I evoked this during my Little Red Riding Hood posts (I think it was in the one titled "The dark roots"). Delarue and Tenèze, by accumulating all the French variants of the fairytale they could find, separating those that clearly were post-Perrault (they had elements newly introduced by the author) to those prior to Perrault (or at least not "contaminated" by their written cousin), and looking at the geographical repartition of these tales, they could identify which elements exactly Perrault cut out of his tale (the wolf serving meat and wine to the girl, the removing of clothes in the fire, the cat cursing under the table...) and thus re-create what the fairytale would have originally looked like.
In this extent, this work is deeply needed for whoever wants to study fairytales in France or the French folklore. Unfortunately, after two "complete editions" gathering all the volumes in 1997 and 2002, the publishing house of the catalogue fell on hard times, and closed in 2011. Since this date, the catalogue is out of print, and you can only access it by having second-hand copies or borrowing it at libraries.
However - and I just learned of this today upon looking at my references - the work of Delarue and Tenèze (both unfortunately deceased) is still continued today, or rather was taken back by a group of anthropological studies of Toulouse, who are preparing three more volumes to add to the original catalogue.
If you are interested in what each volume contains:
Volume 1 and 2 cover the "contes merveilleux" (marvelous tales/magical tales - aka the fairytales as we understand them today).
Volume 3 is about the "Animal tales", mixing animal-featuring fairytales, Reynard the Fox-type of stories, and other moral and fables inherited by popular culture from La Fontaine, Aesop and more.
Volume 4 is about the "Religious tales", aka all the French folktales, fairytales and local legends that show France's folk-Christianity, mixing the heavily Christian (Catholic-flavored) culture of France, "first daughter of the Church", with the countryside legends and tales of witches, wizards, fairies, giants and other ogres, turned into demons, saints, angels and Virgin Maries.
Volume 5 is the "conte-nouvelle" (the "short story-tales"), basically folktales that are realistic sounding and just sound like non-magical, non-religious life stories or local legends.

Had a new brush to text, and realized I have yet to design aliens for a OC trix user, so made some concept art for some of Crystal 10's aliens. In order you got Siren, Cherufe, Drake, Fenrir, Heqet, Wraith and Automaton.

Chapter 2: Meeting Him Like The First Time
Excerpt:
Sasaki stared at me in a strange wonder, and he slowly, carefully, touched a single long strand. "Your hair is beautiful, Miya."
I blushed at the compliment, it was spoken so tenderly, and I don't remember someone ever praising it. "Th-Thank you... Now that I made it to the surface I can cut it, finally." I spoke slowly as he gently pushed my hair away from my face. I was sure my face was red with how unbearably hot it felt.
"You couldn't before?" His tone was softer now, and it felt so... personal between us. As if we shared a bubble together.
"It's traditional that a mermaid grows their hair with their magic... It signifies your power and strength, which amplifies your beauty so you're more appealing to a potential mate. You can't cut it until you find one, or become of age. Which, for mermaids, is twenty-five in human years? I'm twenty now, so..."
He studied me closely, and I shivered slightly when he touched the long curly strands again. On dry land, it was easier to tell just how long it had become. It was all the way to my waist. "You must be pretty powerful since it's so long."
Again, the praise made me embarrassed, and I shyly ducked my head. "I guess so... my magic is more healing based."
It got quiet briefly, and I glanced up at him to see him staring at me with endearment and a knowing smile. Had he already realized my healing abilities? "So why do you want to cut it?"
He helped me walk to the door, and I kept repeating in my head to move each foot forward at a slow pace. I huffed as a long strand fell forward in my face again. My human ears were smaller than the fins I had before. I couldn't tuck as much hair out of the way. "It gets in the way too much, and it tangles easily. I don't know how I'll be able to get them out..." I pouted at remembering how Yuki and Juuya always helped me with that.
......
You can read on AO3 or Wattpad!

do you have any resources for the aarne-thompson tale type classification system? i constantly see it referenced, but i have yet to find a full list or database of them (that isnt incomplete or contradictory to other ones ive seen)
Well it depends what you mean by "finding it"... Given the Aarne-Thompson classification is originally a scholarly it is originally a set of physical books and material catalogues - so you can always try to see if there isn't a copy of it online on Google Books or the Internet Archives. This being said the AT catalogue is still an ongoing and living process currently going on - the Aarne Thompson is the AT catalogue, mixing the 1910s original catalogue by the Finnish Antti Aarne with its translation and expansion by the American Stith Thompson from the 1920s to the 1960s - but this version of the catalogue is different from the most recent one, the ATU, Aarne-Thompson-Uther, yet another revision and expansion in 2004 by German folklorist Hans-Jörg Uther... And who knows what new revision might happen next?
This might already explain the reason you found contradicting lists - there are currenty three main versions of the catalogue, from the oldest and smallest to the most recent and biggest.
That being said, if you can't buy or borrow a physical copy of the catalogues, or find an online copy somewhere, when most people of English-language refer to the catalogue on the Internet they refer to a very interesting website puts together by the University of Pittsburgh: D.L. Ashliman's library of folktexts, an online selection and collection of fairytales and folktales that uses the Aarne-Thompson-Uther classification (or sometimes the AT catalogue, without Uther) - with a few personal additions by Ashliman (for example an "Abducted by alien" category). The full list of the ATU motifs used can be found here (in alphabetical order, through the AT numbers are still kept): https://sites.pitt.edu/~dash/folktexts.html
A lot of people use this website to find a selection of variations of "fairytale" types online. It isn't as complete or thorough as the original catalogues, but it might help if you look for a quick glimpse at the catalogue online and what it can offer!

Updates and...A Request?
Number One (Update)
Character arcs are finished, I'm just struggling the last few fluffy chapters because I do not want to end this fic on the crest of an angst hill. Theoretically could it? Yes. Do I want it to? No. I want to bring this bitch full circle. I want Victor to [redacted] with Yuri.
I owe you guys a couple of sentences. I going to queue them tonight.
Number Two (Request)
This fic is unbeta'd. Also when I was reading back over the published two parts this fall I noticed a couple of typos and the like. If you notice--FOR THIS PART (when it's published) OR ANY PREVIOUS PART--any typos or errors, drop me a line, a message, an ask, a comment, telling me where and I'll fix it. I also think I might go back and very sneakily clean some things up to make sure my continuity is good as it occurs to me, so things may be a little "under construction."
ALSO ALSO if you think there are any tags I'm missing that I should add, please tell me. I'm terrible at tagging. I need to get better at tagging. My tags are mostly jokes only I find funny, and not actually, you know, effective tags.
Your help and continued support are deeply appreciated. If anyone has any questions/comments/concerns/fun pictures of dogs/ramblings they would like to drop my way, my inbox is always open.
(seriously it's always open send me stuff I like hearing from you)
