They won't, but you write it anyway.

You can't be sure that the audience will get every nuance the way you do, and ultimately that's not the point. You've probably missed some things other readers caught, and you've probably caught some things other readers missed. And there are probably some things the author put in that no one has caught.

A really good piece of writing is something with layers of complexity, because the idea isn't that someone will get 'everything' in one read, but rather will find something new, catch some new nuance, every time they (re)read it. And maybe they won't (hell, probably they wont') but putting attention into these layers of nuance gives the fic as a whole more body and depth, even if most readers only ever get a fraction of that depth.

If you want help from your favorite examples, keep a notebook by your side or writing program open in the background, and go read your favorite fics and books that have these layers. But don't just notice these small elements - write them down. Then, go back over your notes and try and extrapolate the trend or generalize it into a way you can apply to your own fic or writing. :)
