Stand easy.

I'm Captain Clueless, on this site; quillingmesoftly on tumblr and Discord, and martial_quill on archiveofourown. It's been a while since I updated this profile, but as I'm now uploading a new story, it seems prudent. I love romances, interesting characters, researching different kinds of weaponry, and theology.

You're welcome to enjoy all my stories, or not, as you please; I hope you do enjoy them. I'm a recovering perfectionist, so if you notice a typo or something, I will listen, but I may or may not correct it; it all depends on what's going on in every other area of my life at the moment. I'm always down for hearing about history, alternative character interpretations, and what you think really was going on behind the scenes in canon. I love AUs, so please don't waste breath by talking about how things didn't happen like this in canon; the odds are extremely high that I already know that, and have decided to meddle anyway.

My ask box on tumblr is always open, although I may or may not respond.

Have fun, take it easy, and stay out of trouble.

"One searches for truth, but it may be that one pursues instinctively the more extraordinary truths. And I offer this book with the heartiest sentiments to all the jolly people who hate what I write, and regard it (very justly, for all I know), as a piece of poor clowning or a single tiresome joke. For if this book is a joke it is a joke against me.

I am the man who with the utmost daring discovered what had been discovered before. If there is an element of farce in what follows, the farce is at my own expense; for this book explains how I fancied I was the first to set foot in Brighton and then found I was the last. It recounts my elephantine adventures in pursuit of the obvious.

No one can think my case more ludicrous than I think it myself; no reader can accuse me here of trying to make a fool of him: I am the fool of this story, and no rebel shall hurl me from my throne." – G. K. Chesterton. Orthodoxy (Kindle Locations 61-67).
