So I have this character idea I've been toying with for a good long while. What if one of Queen Coral's many "sons" was transgender and therefore actually a daughter and eligible for the throne?

The fanfiction would be called Notice Me. I think the protagonist, Seashell (this is the name she wishes to go by), is one of Coral's older dragonets, and has spent the entirety of her life trying to get Coral to realize that although she has spent so much time trying to get a daughter, she never made time to notice that she had one who was just trying to get her attention.

Trouble is, I don't know how to make it continuously exciting. I don't really want to fall into the ol' trope of someone finding out and blackmailing Seashell and threatening to out her. Any suggestions?
