Maya Hart/Lucas Friar

Maya/Lucas is the het pairing of Maya Hart and Lucas Friar from the Girl Meets World fandom.
==Canon==
The relationship starts with her making fun of his Texas heritage and Lucas taking it all in stride, with a genuine bond of friendship growing between the two. Maya seemed most interested in matchmaking him with Riley, until the two decided to break off their brief relationship at the beginning of season 2. After a while, Maya seemed to develop an attraction to Lucas as well as real feelings, leading to a Love Triangle that spilled over into season 3.
Another conflict with the possibility of the pairing involved Maya's crush on Riley's college-age uncle Joshua, who seemed to acknowledge her feelings. 
==Fandom==
Maya/Lucas is a fairly popular pairing that grew popular within the first few episodes of the first season of Girl Meets World. The fandom behind Maya/Lucas can be mainly found on Tumblr, AO3, and Youtube, with only a few fanfiction posted to FFN so far. Fans are drawn to the snarky banter the two have, seeing potential for something deep and meaningful.
Maya/Lucas made the list (#30) for Top Ships of 2016 at Fandometrics on Tumblr.

* I Always Knew by reversetheuniverse, Maybe she does understand how she feels, but she doesn’t want to admit it to herself. Lucas Friar has her heart in a vice-grip (or lassoed, that stupid southern boy), and the thought of it frightens her. (Ski Lodge AU)

* if only for the sake of it by agreaterlove, They’re seated at their old hangout at Topanga’s, Lucas slouched in his seat with a now-empty plate across his stomach.

(Lucas moved away and came back)

* tell me some things last by bluesey, "You still love him?" She doesn't reply, the answer thrashing and flailing, like a wild and living thing, in the base of her throat. Because of course she does. Of course she still loves Lucas. But that doesn't matter anymore. (Fake/Pretend Relationship)
