Sterek Princess and the Pauper AU: Many years ago, a princess – Allison - and a pauper – Stiles – were born at the same time.
Several years later, the kingdom is in trouble and King Argent tells Princess Allison that she is to marry King Derek in order to save their kingdom from bankruptcy. However, Allison is in love with her tutor, Scott.
The pauper, Stiles, is an indentured servant at Madam Blake's Dress Emporium, working off his parents' debt, but dreams of one day leaving and seeing the world.
Unbeknownst to the King, the reason behind the kingdom's bankruptcy is his adviser, Deucalion, has been stealing the gold from the royal mines. Upon learning from his henchmen that the King has arranged Allison's marriage to King Derek, he comes up with a plan to make Allison mysteriously disappear and when King Derek leaves, Deucalion will pretend that he has found her and earn her hand in marriage, allowing him to accede the throne and become king.
Scott takes Allison for a day out into the kingdom so that she can be free for once. Allison hears Stiles, who is performing in the street to earn money for himself, but Madame Blake collects it as part of his debt. Allison and Stiles meet and learn they are identical, apart from their gender and the birthmark on Allison's shoulder. The two bond over their shared troubles and become fast friends.
That night, Allison is abducted by Ennis and Kali – Deucalion’s henchmen – who leave a false letter saying she ran away.
Scott, doubting the letter, asks Stiles to impersonate the princess, saving the engagement while he investigates Allison's disappearance. Deucalion is surprised when Stiles, disguised as Allison, presents herself at the palace. King Derek introduces himself and, over time, the two fall in love, but Stiles is worried about what will happen if he is found out.
The real Allison escapes Ennis and Kali, but is turned away from the palace because the guards think the princess is already inside. Mistaking Allison for Stiles, Madame Blake forces Allison into her shop and locks her inside.
Scott, suspicious of Deucalion, follows the man to the house where Allison was being kept and overhears Deucalion's plans to become the king, but is discovered and captured.
Allison coaxes a stray dog who lives outside the dress shop to take her ring and a tag from the dress shop so someone can find her. Unfortunately, Deucalion and his dog intercept her message and find Allison.
Deucalion takes her to the royal mines where she is imprisoned with Scott after Ennis and Kali cause a cave-in. Deucalion goes back to the palace, exposes Stiles as a fake and has him imprisoned. Deucalion convinces the King that Allison is dead.
Stiles escapes the dungeon by singing a lullaby, causing the guard to fall asleep, and taking his keys. He bumps into King Derek who tells him that he doesn't believe Deucalion's claims.
Meanwhile, Allison and Scott find out how to restore the kingdom's resources with some geodes filled with crystals; the two then confess their love for each other.
Stiles finds the stray dog from the shop who Stiles had befriended over the years—Wolfie, as he calls him—and the dog unearths a mine shaft where Scott and Allison are. He and Derek help them escape.
Allison storms into the castle, revealing her birthmark in order to prove who she is. She reveals the truth about Deucalion, who is arrested along with Ennis and Kali.
Allison tells her father that she knows of a way to save he kingdom that doesn’t mean marrying Derek. She then tells her father that she wants to marry the man she loves; Scott.
The kingdom is saved; but Stiles has to return to the dress shop. One day, a young man comes in. Madame Blake instantly fawns over him, but he dismisses her, asking to see Stiles. She’s taken aback, but calls out the young clothier nonetheless. Stiles feels his heart drop when he sees Derek standing in the shop.
Derek asks Stiles to come with him, promising to never tie him down and to give him all the freedom he dreams of. Madam Blake protests, saying Stiles still has a debt to pay off, but Derek silences her, telling her that he’ll see to it that the young man’s debt is paid.
Stiles goes with him, and months later, Allison and Scott marry, and so do Derek and Stiles.
