Demestrap

Demestrap is the het ship between Demeter and Munkustrap from the Cats fandom.

Canon
When Macavity returns to the Jellicle's, Demeter attacks him but is thrown off. He goes to grab her, but Munkustrap goes to grab her, and with Alonzo's help, is able to free her from his grasp. He then fights off Macavity but is hurt before Macavity escapes. After the fight, Demeter checks in on Munkustrap to make sure he is okay. They then often stay close together throughout the rest of the show.

Fanon
Demestrap is one of the more popular ships in the Cats fandom. It is often considered one of the only canon pairings within the stage show. As many productions will have the two be close after Munkustrap's fight with Macavity. Often in a rather couple like manor. It is often shipped alongside Tuggoffelees, and is often a background or side couple in fics for the pair. Both ships are often the main couple in Tuggstrap fics as well. It is the rival ship to Demelurina and Alonzostrap.

In many fics fans portray the two getting together after the ball. Though there are those that believe they were together long before the events of the musical. Many often go with the more canonical idea that they got together after Munkustrap saved her after he saved her from Macavity. Many also have Demeter healing from her relationship with Macavity by moving onto Munkustrap. Shippers often believe that she would see him as the opposite of him, and that's why she would be with him.

On AO3, Demestrap is the most written ship for both Munkustrap and Demeter. It is also the second most written ship in the Cats - Andrew Lloyd Webber tag. There are currently 215+ written works.
