TL;DR version: Are there any 2E scenarios right now involving dragons, especially blue?
I'm on a deployment away from my wife, but it's low tempo enough that we're able to play pathfinder once a week to do something connected together. We decided to make a pair of characters that are draconic, and the backstory is essentially "barely escaped hometown with their lives once they learned the secret that it's being run and manipulated by a blue dragon behind the scenes--during escape they got corrupted by blue dragon magic". Something like that. So their motivations for adventuring are pretty much to gather enough strength to come back and free their town and especially family from the evil blue dragon.
Problem of course is that we don't have other friends to play with, so our best bet is society play. Which is good and fun, but makes it a little challenging to factor in our backstories.
So what I'm trying to do is get ahead of the curve a little bit: is there any scenario that involves slaying a dragon? Preferably a blue dragon? We can retcon our characters if needbe in the event there's only different colored dragons.

Season 2 has a handful of scenarios that include dragon encounters, but the lowest-level I've played have been for levels 3-6, and one was for 7-10. The closest thing I can recall to the mastermind-type you describe was that high-level one, but that was highly tied into the season's metaplot, so probably not suitable for your needs, either.
Personally, I think trying to arrange to face your nemesis in-game is unlikely to work in Society play, unless the conflict arises from a scenario's plotline in the first place. My hag-bloodline sorceress will never meet her much-hated ancestor in Society play, but that back-story has certainly certainly informed the two encounters with hags she's had so far (including her very first mission, by sheer blind luck! Curse you, Grandmama!).
I think your idea of having two draconic characters with a shared origin sounds fun! Go for it, play up your back-story in your roleplaying, and watch for anything in a given scenario that might resonate with it, however obliquely. Maybe you'll meet other down-trodden people who remind you of the folks back home, and fight that more fiercely on their behalf. Maybe you'll meet some dragon-obsessed kobold PCs with whom you'll butt heads constantly, but end up broadening each others' horizons a little. To be honest, it can be a challenge to make any backstory matter in Society play, but the players who make the effort are often the ones whose characters end up being most memorable to the other players.
