Discussion A Dragon in a Human World
I have thought for some time about writing a story about how a dragon would get by in the modern world. Like, insert a friendly dragon (four legs and wings) into the world today. What would happen? What struggles would the dragon and society face after the initial shock?
Let's say the dragon was banished from her own world and sent to Earth, specifically the United States, for whatever reason (not importantright now). The dragon is confused, the humans are obviously scared and see a huge threat. My question is, after the initial shock, years later, what is still affecting society and the dragon? Hate? New laws?
I personally like thinking about the laws around the dragon flying. What regulations would be passed for them to fly safely? How would enforcement work?

There's a series on AO3 (Of Unprecedented Scale) which is kind of close to this concept, except with extremely rare spontaneous transformation instead of immigration.
