Maybe they just speed up until they hit near the speed of light so that the time passes almost instantly. That law of physics still applies in the Mass Effect world right? (I know the Newtonian laws still exist since Sir Issac Newton is the deadliest son-of-a-***** in space).

They hibernate till sovereign says get ready to reap.
The fact that this is not allowed in the thread is a little silly since it's canon, but I get that this is a joke thread, not a question thread like I thought when I clicked.

Sooo, I'll go with "they troll on the Escapist."

They do a Reaper version of a turret opera!
A legion of Reapers playing "Ride of the Valkyries" are going to come into view in the beginning of Mass Effect 3

They keep in contact with Sovereign and mess around on the journey. They also make fun of others.

Sov: OHGODTHESHIPSNOTTHESHIPSAHHTHEIRINMYCITADELAHHNOTTHESHEPARDAHH!
Reaper: huh. Sovereign failed.
Reaper2: Fine. Lets walk.

(Later)
Reaper 1: Someone should kill that Shepard guy.
Reaper 2: It's just some sort of rumor
Reaper 1: You sure?
Reaper 2: Sovereign sucked anyway. I don't think one human could take one of us though...
Harbinger: I'll take him out, even make him head of the Human reaper? Allright?
Reapers 1&2: Sure.

(Later)
Reaper1: Oh Harby, your back. got worried there.
Harby: He took out the Collecters.
Reaper 2: That Shepard dude survived a colony attack? Oh man
Harby: No, he killed all of them. And the Human reaper.
Reaper1: You should relay that information to the Evil Council of Reapers.

ECoR: We have reached an agreement. This Shepard does not exist. Harbinger had a 43.65% chance to malfunction at this range.
Harby: ... You're just going to ignore this threat? Shepard is REAL! We have to stop him!
ECoR: We will see soon enough. The Alpha relay is only a few million seconds away.

At the Alpha Relay:
ECoR: See?
(Relay blows up)
ECoR: Just a malfunction. We will fly manually towards the nearest system.
Harby: It was Shepard! You can't deny it any longer!
ECoR: Ah yes, Shepard. The alleged human who destroyed two of us and halted 3 of our plans. We have dismissed this claim.

We already know the ancestors of the chicken, or any other bird of your choice, were saurian. Which laid eggs. Rendering the entire proposal moot in the first place.

They listen to live performances of The Greatful Dead. Whenever they reach the end of a song they realize it's time to go eat some civilizations.

They have lunch with the Archdemons and True Sith. They all spend their time away from protagonists, they might as well talk about how they plan on killing them while they wait.

Could I quell your contrarianism by stating that the chicken came before the chicken egg? I was trying to be cheeky, not start an intellectual dick measuring contest. I am aware that until it is proven that ovocledidin-17 is essential to the process of crystalization in saurian eggs, the conclusion is not chiseled in stone.

It's still science, it's just not quite the whole picture yet. Get over yourself.

Realistically, they hibernate.

But since you want something else, they come up with cold ominous phrases to say with their awesome deep synthetic voices. So far, they haven't really had a chance to do that until this cycle because by the time they remembered their catch phrases, everyone that it would have scared the shit out of was dead.
