"Post-Captain" is a word in ENGLISH
A captain of a war vessel whose name appeared, or was
\"posted,\" in the seniority list of the British navy, as distinguished
from a commander whose name was not so posted. The term was also used
in the United States navy; but no such commission as post-captain was
ever recognized in either service, and the term has fallen into disuse.

When you couldn't-like with the Alchemists-you found a way to seize back that control.""There is nothing wrong with wanting control," I snapped."Except that we can't always have it, and sometimes that is a good thing. A great thing, even," she added. "And that's how it is with Adrian. No matter how hard you try, you aren't going to be able to control your feelings for him. You can't help loving him, and so you're running away. I'm just an excuse.
