Mistopher

Mistopher is the family ship between Mistoffelees and Bustopher Jones from the Cats fandom.

Canon
When Bustopher arrives, Mistoffelees excitedly runs up to him and then lets the other Jellicles know he's there. As Bustopher goes to greet the other Jellicles around they yard, Mistoffelees stops in front of him and bows to him. He then pulls on his tail to get his attention when he goes to great Munkustrap, before quickly tumbling away. Mistoffelees then presents the hat for Bustopher to sit on, and stands by as he explains all the places he's been to eat. Mistoffelees listens intently and tries to keep up the same attitude as Bustopher. Trying to come off as more astute and well put together while he's around. He then tells the kittens to settle down during the song, and licks his lips at Bustopher's description of rice pudding.

As Bustopher starts to fall back, Mistoffelees quickly helps him back up. The momentum causes Bustopher to stand up and almost fall offstage, but Mistoffelees is able to save him before he does. Mistoffelees then makes sure all the other cats are in line before indicating to Bustopher the respect their showing him. He then follows behind as Bustopher looks over each of the cats.

Fanon
It is often speculated that Mistoffelees and Bustopher are related. This is due to them both being Tuxedo cats and Mistoffelees' reaction to Bustopher appearing. Many believer that Bustopher is Mistoffelees' unlce. There are some that think Bustopher is Misto's father, but the former theory is more popular. With fans often portraying Bustopher as father figure to Mistoffelees regardless. Fans of their relationship were disappointed that Mistoffelees didn't have the same relationship with Bustopher in the 2019 film.

Fanon varies on how close the two are. Typically Bustopher would be more separate from the other Jellicles, and him coming to see Misto is more of a surprise or a treat. Other times he's around more often, and this causes stress for Misto. Some Tuggoffelees fics, will have Bustopher disapprove of their relationship, and have to learn to come around to it.

On AO3, there are currently 10+ written works.
