Hm. I don't think any platform hosts it exclusively, but Wattpad might have some buried, older works if the crossover was popular with a younger demo when the shows were airing? Their search is terrible, though. You'd have to wade through a million OC/Ruby stories to maybe find one with CJ.
I tend to find these ultra-specific crossovers through recursive searching—like, I'll read a good CJ/Heather fic, then check that author's 'works inspired by this one' list, and sometimes you find a branching path where someone took a side character and ran with them into another universe. It's less about the platform and more about following the trail of kudos and bookmarks. The most 'exclusive' content might be in a Discord server for one of the fandoms, where someone shares a WIP snippet in a fanart channel.
You won't find a platform dedicated to it. Try searching the pairing tag on AO3 sorted by 'Kudos' or 'Date Updated'. Sometimes writers use vague tags like 'Rarepair Hell' or 'Crossover Madness', so broaden the search. Check the bookmarks of people who favorite similar genre-bending fics.
Actually, I'd argue nothing is truly 'exclusive' anymore unless it's on someone's private Google Doc. Most writers cross-post. If someone writes a CJ/Ruby story, it'll probably end up on both AO3 and FanFiction.net just to reach both audiences.
That said, the culture around the pairing might lean toward one site. If it's a more humor-focused, meta crossover—which, given the source material, it likely is—AO3's tagging allows for that 'crack treated seriously' vibe better. FF.net's categories are too rigid for weird cross-genre stuff sometimes. I found a surprisingly heartfelt one-shot on AO3 last year that was tagged under both 'Crazy Ex-Girlfriend' and 'Ruby Gloom', of all things. The platform didn't host it exclusively, but it's where the writer felt it fit.
I'm pretty sure there isn't a central hub just for that specific crossover, which is a bit of a bummer. You kinda have to play detective across a few spots.
AO3 is your most reliable bet for any niche pairing because of its tagging system. I'd search both 'cj x ruby' and the full series names, maybe 'Crazy Ex-Girlfriend' and 'xxx'—wait, which Ruby are we talking about? Ruby from 'Max and Ruby'? Ruby Rose from RWBY? That changes everything. Assuming it's the cartoon bunny, you might find some truly wild stuff buried under other tags.
Tumblr still has a lot of micro-fandoms and dedicated shippers who post drabbles or headcanons directly, but it's a mess to search. Sometimes you get lucky by finding a writer's personal blog who's obsessed with both shows. I feel like this crossover would thrive more on niche forums or even DeviantArt from like 2010, honestly.
Honestly, the exclusivity is going to come from individual authors who love both shows, not a platform. Your best move is to find a good CJ-centric fic on AO3 and check that author's bookmarks or gifts—they might have written the crossover as a gift for someone else.

You think I care about titles?” he asked, stepping even closer until I could feel the heat radiating from him. “Do you think that matters to me?”
“It should,” I said, my voice breaking slightly. “It matters to me.”
He tilted his head slightly, studying me. "Why? Why does it matter so much to you?"
“Because,” I said quickly, searching for the right words. “Because people like me... we don’t belong with people like you. You’re... you’re powerful, and I’m—”
“Beautiful,” he cut me off, his voice firm.
I froze, my words dying on my lips. “What?” I whispered.
“You’re beautiful, Sophia,” he said again, his tone softer this time. “And I’m tired of pretending I don’t notice it. You think being a maid defines you, but it doesn’t. Not to me.”
Sapphire - I had never seen a man as drop-dead gorgeous as Dylan. When his steel-grey eyes met mine, I knew I was in trouble. There was no way he would ever see me as anything other than Riley’s little sister. Fine, I am not ugly by any means, but I also know that with my blue hair and tattoos, most guys are turned off, and that doesn’t usually bother me, so why does it bother me regarding him? Of course, I would develop a crush on him. When he and two other teammates of Riley’s move in with us, I know I am in even deeper trouble. I swear, sometimes it appears that he is flirting, and what is with that pet name? There is no way Dylan is interested in me, is there?
Dylan - As soon as her sapphire blue eyes met mine, I knew she was mine. Her brother Riley was my best friend and teammate, so I knew this would be tricky. It became even trickier when I moved in with them. It didn’t take long for Riley to figure it out. Between my flirting and the pet name, I gave her more or less gave it away. We hashed out our problems, but then she was attacked. Now her stepfather has sent people after her; he has no idea who he is up against and who he pissed off. No one touches what is mine, and I claimed Sapphire that night in the bar. My precious jewel is that, MINE! He will regret trying to harm her; they all will.

I wouldn't say there's a ton of 'best' material for CJ x Ruby, honestly. It's one of those crackships that lives or dies by the one person who's deeply, weirdly committed to it. My memory's a bit hazy, but I think most of the fics from the heyday of 'Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas' communities are just gone—archived on sites that don't exist anymore, lost to purges. The vibe back then was less about slow-burn romance and more about power-couple energy, you know? Two people who understand the ugly mechanics of their world deciding to run it together.
If I were looking now, I'd probably search by the ship name 'CJRuby' on AO3 and filter by date. Anything recent is likely a passion project from someone with a very specific vision. The older stuff, if you can find it, had this raw, chaotic charm. It was less polished, more focused on the 'what if' of them joining forces against the Ballas or the LCPD. Not exactly literary masterpieces, but fun in a nostalgic, early-2000s forum-fic way.
Straight up, most fics I see lean hard into a redemption arc for CJ, with Ruby as his unlikely moral compass. It's fascinating how writers navigate that dynamic—he's older, deeply entrenched in that violent lifestyle, and she's this sharp, resilient kid with a totally different moral code. A lot of stories start from the canon divergence of him surviving the finale, then build out a slow-burn mentorship that morphs into something more paternal, and sometimes, if the writer is going there, romantic, though that's always controversial.
You get a lot of 'what if' scenarios too, like CJ laying low at the farm and Ruby teaching him how to fix a truck or tend to crops, those quiet moments where his guard drops. The tension often comes from whether he'll relapse into his old ways or if her influence is strong enough to pull him out for good. I've noticed the better-written ones don't shy away from the ugliness—the guilt, the nightmares, the sheer logistical nightmare of a wanted man trying to go straight.
Honestly, the pairing's popularity seems tied to a craving for complex, messy healing narratives more than just straightforward romance. That's what keeps me scrolling through the tags.
Searching for those CJ and Ruby slow burns is such a specific itch, isn't it? You're looking for that particular kind of ache where every glance and half-finished sentence carries so much weight. My immediate recommendation is Archive of Our Own, which is absolutely stacked with tags you can filter by. Use the 'CJ x Ruby' relationship tag, then add 'Slow Burn' and 'Angst' as additional filters. That combination usually surfaces the really emotionally dense ones.
Don't just sort by kudos right away—some of the best, most intricate emotional builds are from quieter writers who update sporadically. I once found an absolute masterpiece that updated maybe twice a year, but each chapter was a devastatingly beautiful 8k words of pining and missed connections. The comment section became a support group. Wattpad has a different vibe, more immediate and conversational in the prose sometimes, which can work for a raw, present-tense emotional style. Just be prepared to sift through more abandoned works. Honestly, my favorite find lately was a crossover fic on a smaller forum, blending their dynamic into the universe of 'The Last of Us', which shouldn't have worked but created this unbearably tense, survival-focused slow burn that had me holding my breath.
