In a possible plot, Maya could be depressed because she feels left out. With Riley starting to focus more on her relationship with Lucas and Farkle getting involved in more academic competitions, Maya feels like she has no one. She begins to doubt her importance in their group. As she slips deeper into depression, she starts to write dark poetry. One day, Riley discovers the poetry and realizes how much Maya is hurting. She then makes it her mission to bring the old, happy Maya back by making her feel included and loved again.
The plot could start with Maya suddenly becoming withdrawn. She stops painting, which was her passion. Her friends notice she's skipping school and not participating in their usual group activities. Riley, being her best friend, tries to reach out but Maya pushes her away. As the story unfolds, we find out that Maya's self - esteem has hit rock bottom because she got a really harsh critique on her art from someone she respected. This leads her into a downward spiral of depression.
I haven't read a specific one, but I can imagine a fanfiction where Maya's depression is triggered by a traumatic event in her past. Her friends in the story start to notice her withdrawn behavior and they all come together to support her, with Farkle using his intelligence to find ways to make her smile and Mr. Matthews guiding them all on how to deal with such a situation.
One possible plot could be that Maya Hart's sister comes to town and causes some drama in Maya's life. Maybe she has a different personality, like she's super shy while Maya is outgoing. This could lead to misunderstandings between them and their friends at school.
He could be revealed as a famous artist. Maya might discover that her father's works are well - known in the art world. This could lead to a whole new side of her identity and a chance for her to explore her creative side more deeply.
She might have an attic in her house where she goes to be alone and write poetry. It's her secret place away from the chaos of the outside world. Her mom could be an artist too, but struggling to make ends meet. This could inspire Maya to work hard in school so she can have a better future than her mom. There could be a big old tree in her backyard that she climbs when she wants to think.
One possible plot could be that Josh and Maya's pregnancy is unexpected. They might initially be scared but then realize they can handle it together.

In fanfiction, Maya's father could be depicted in various ways. He might be an absent figure who suddenly reappears, bringing a lot of emotional turmoil for Maya. Maybe he's a musician who left to pursue his dreams when Maya was young, and now he wants to reconnect with his daughter.
There's a fanfic called 'Maya and the Art of Friendship'. It focuses on Maya's friendships, especially with Riley. It shows how their bond evolves over different situations, like dealing with school problems and family issues. This fanfic really captures the essence of their relationship in the 'Girl Meets World' universe.
Perhaps Maya gets hurt in a more emotional way. She could find out that her father, who she has always had a complex relationship with, has some big news that makes her feel abandoned again. This causes her to act out and push her friends away. But as the story progresses, she learns to face her feelings and accept that she has a support system that will always be there for her no matter what.
Maybe there's a story where Shawn discovers that Maya has a secret talent for music. He encourages her to pursue it, and along the way, they face some challenges from those who don't believe in Maya's newfound passion. This would bring them closer as they fight for her dreams together.
One idea could be Zay and Maya teaming up for a school project and initially clashing because of their different personalities but then growing to understand and respect each other more.
