I just came up with a really nice way to make this all fit together. Keep in mind though, I'm just adding my own ramblings to this guy's idea so take it with a grain of salt. What if the Reapers were originally purely synthetic beings created by the Leviathans to bring order to the galaxy for them? Then you know, they rebel and such wanting to bring "true" order to the galaxy or something. So instead of completely destroying the Leviathans and the rest of organics, they decide to use them as building materials and in a sick twisted way end up preserving those races for all intents and purposes. So they build the mass relays and such in order to keep organic growth in a pattern suited to their needs. Every cycle they replenish their resources and numbers then begin the process anew. So how does that sound? Keep in mind, this is all off the top of my head and is open for criticism.
