So this falls under the ideas category. I have neither the time, money, talent, or patience to write on my own but if anyone wants to borrow this idea, be it as a main theme or filler material or whatever, have at it.
Two general ideas brought to you by everyones favorite(or not) prototypical dumb blonde(no not Buffy).
I'm talking about Harmony.
↳ Note: This article is about the vampire. For other uses, see Harmony. “You just can’t stand the fact that I'm my own person now. There comes a time in a woman's life when she realizes she has to take that next step. I've taken it. I've found the real me, and I like her.” ―Harmony Kendall[src]...

Harmony was a typical high school dumb blonde character, turned into a vampire at graduation, loved anything and everything about unicorns even without a soul, and was generally such a bad villain that on at least one occasion caused Buffy Summers to publicly burst out laughing when told that Harmony supposedly had minions.
By her own words in at least one episode of Angel she was a lousy villain, but the whole lack of a soul and any moral compass also made her a terrible heroine.
But what if. What if everybody's favorite member of the Cordettes took a different path.
One of my ideas centers on the end of Buffy season 3, after Buffy and Faith throw down, but before the graduation battle. Unbeknownst to the Scooby Gang until after Buffy unveils her plan to kill Mayor Wilkins, but before the battle, Faith codes in the hospital. Thanks to being in a well equipped trauma unit and Slayer healing powers, she survives, albeit still in her coma as in canon, but clinically dies just long enough for a new Slayer to be called. As in universe it's implied that Buffy had a day or 2 to prepare the Class of 1999 for the battle after the fight with Faith, Buffy and everyone finds out Harmony(God help us all), apparently got an upgrade after accidentally ripping a door off it's hinges and knocking several people over. Everyone is shocked, horrified, and in the case of Giles probably in dire need of multiple good stiff drinks.
The battle goes largely same as canon, maybe a few other odd random extras not dying, though now Buffy in Sunnydale and Angel in LA are blessed, or cursed, with having Harmony as a Slayer bouncing between towns depending on either who needs the most help, or depending on who is has a lesser migrane at the time.
Harmony The Vampire Slayer. The hero we neither needed, nor wanted, nor asked for, but sadly the one most of us deserve.
My other idea of the character centers on Harmony being turned into a vampire as in canon. This doesn't have a specific plot or focal point to it, but I figure it can be anytime in season 4 or 5 of Buffy at any point after it's discovered that Harmony is a vampire.
Basically, for one reason or another, be it accidentally or intentionally, Willow, Tara, and/or Anya for whatever reason, end up using the spell that Willow used to reinsoul Angel, but for whatever reason, be it to get information on Spike, or some other reason, they successfully use it on Harmony. Harmony is still the typical blonde cheerleader type, and still a vampire, but now like Angel and eventually Spike, she is weighted down with a soul, and everything that entails for Buffyverse vampires.
