so in this theory, the citadel itself is trying to stop you from using the crucible(which requires the citadel to work) which is believed to stop the reapers but it actually destroys all organic life? If this is the case than the reapers could remove whatever part of the citadel is needed for the crucible to work. In fact the reapers could prevent the creation of the crucible in the first place by simply not showing up since the crucible is something so insanely large in scale it took a galaxy wide extinction level event to get people to create it. The reapers could literally prevent the crucible from being created by doing -nothing-. If they really feel the need to do some reaping they could do so say.... 5 thousand years earlier? When understanding and creating the crucible would of been impossible for any race. Furthermore why wouldn't the reaper AI god simply explain to shepard that the crucible is actually the key to destroying all organic life in the universe and that he shouldn't do anything with it. It makes more sense than the explaination the AI deity gave shepard and gives more of an incentive to not even touch the thing.
The Citadel, is the self aware synthetic (it refers to its self as the Catalyst). The reapers did remove and destroy the Crucible at some point, but organics keep rebuilding it. If the Crucible is joined to the Citadel the Catalyst then has the means to kill all organic life. When the Catalyst is talking about how synthetics will always kill their organic creators he is really talking about him self. When he claims he is control of the reapers, and that they are his solution, he is lieing. All conversations will the reapers shows that they are noone's puppet.
The reapers must harvest those races that discover the plans for the Crucible, for organics will eventually build it, then join it to the Citadel allowing the Catalyst to pure life. The Catalyst can not be killed for he resides in the Citadel, the largest mass relay. Destroying the Citadel would cause huge super nova like explosion, and it is also the only mass relay that links to dark space. Remember it is made clear that synthetics are programs, (geth side quests) so the Catalyst probably infected the Citadel because it was the only reaper proof hardware it could hide in.
In fact the reapers could prevent the creation of the crucible in the first place by simply not showing up since the crucible is something so insanely large in scale it took a galaxy wide extinction level event to get people to create it.
The plans for the crucible are such that its function is only discovered on use. If organics discover the plans at all the probablity of construction is to high, for various reasons ranging from quest of knowledge, pursuits of power, or just curiosity.
To clarify, the Catalyst is the program, that must unite with the hardware of the Cruicible to kill everyone. The Reapers want to prevent this, and the Catalyst is currently residing in the Citadel, hence why the two structures must unite. And then the combined hardware with the evil synethic make death space magic.
