D&D 5E Any old D&D adventures with non-bad guy dragons?

I am writing a similar campaign. I have multiple dragons of both good and evil alignment who interact with the world mostly either as benefactors of their territory (good ones) or tyrants over their territory (evil ones). They tend not to take down their minions / people because they know that is where they get their wealth / power. Instead they have their minions / people do their dirty work.

Aligned plays heavily in the campaign but evil and good characters can interact and may even want similar outcomes but for their own reasons. Similarly, the dragons have come to a very uneasy agreement not to interact directly but have their "people" do the dirty/good work. That being said there are a couple of rogue dragons trying to squeeze their way in.

I am still fleshing it out and getting a history together

My particular setting for my next campaign/set of adventures, a significant portion of dragons have good relations towards humans or are indifferent (not sure which is most), and they have a good favor towards other dragons (over there, in their own territory, or as short term guests).

Most of humanity is living within dragon territory in fact, to varying degrees of freedom and requirements by the dragon. This because the regions outside a dragon's domain is far too dangerous; there's elves and other fey out there, and they're nasty. Fortunately, the dragons love elves (in the "with ketchup" kind of way). (the elf stats in the PHB would be used for fey-touched humans)

It makes for a sort of points of light campaign, where the dragons are the lights that humans (and some dwarves and halflings) huddle around for safety.

I'm not sure whether I'd use the dragon species as they are by colors, or mix things up a bit, though if I don't then the chromatics are not going to be as Moustache-Twisting Over-the-top Evil Villains that the MM presents them as :P :) Though they're still dragons and that will warrant some caution and respectful fear towards them, regardless of kind.

So adventures with humans/PCs vs. dragons or with dragons vs. dragons would not fit.
