It wasn't really much of a conscious decision. I'm too lazy to have more than one headcanon for any given character, so it became a de facto series long before I linked it all up. Ralph was always going to be from comfortably settled yeomanry; he and Alec were always going to be friends forever; I'd been cherishing doubts about Ralph/Laurie lasting for a few years, etc. All very organic. If you mean why write future fic at all, mostly to see Ralph older and more at ease in his skin.
