Summary
All Bucky Barnes wanted was to have some tea in peace, preferably without magic going haywire, without limbs glowing, and without being thrown through space and time like a sack of potatoes.
But the universe—and a wizard with questionable taste in clothes—had other plans.
Now, he and John Walker, his unlikely partner and official supplier of aspirin and tea, are stuck in the past. And not just any past: in the middle of the Avengers Civil War. That one. With punches, shields, betrayals, and egos the size of Quinjets.
While trying not to die, not to destroy the timeline (any more than they already have), and not to freak out when they see their younger selves making questionable choices, Bucky and John have to find a way to get back home. Or at least survive long enough to make sarcastic jokes and passive-aggressive comments about superhero fashion and unresolved traumas.
Because, honestly, fixing time wasn't in the terms of the contract.

Summary
“[Bucky's] state of mind is questionable, as always. It's sort of a passive aggressive dormant state of mind. The suit feels uncomfortable. Maybe subconsciously he's growing his hair out hoping someone will... object.” - Sebastian Stan on Bucky during the plot of Thunderbolts.
Based off an idea given by an oomf on Twitter of John growing out his hair like Bucky did. It made me think about how different Bucky’s hair was in TFatWS, BNW, TB, and finally the TB Post credits. So here we are.
Now featuring a bonus follow up chapter that takes places after the main story, now with 20% more bald Bucky!
