Fics like road not travelled (your memory will carry on)

Sasuke is eight - Itachi is thirteen. He goes to pick his brother up from the Academy and finds him tussling and shouting at a little boy who hollers back like the concept of volume control applies to everyone else but him. The boy has scars like whiskers on either side of his nose, stretching across cheeks rounded with baby fat. Itachi looks at the boy and sees the ghost of a woman his mother had treasured, hears an echo of the woman he had looked up to at the age of five. He hurts, the same hurt he's felt for eight years now, and makes a decision. He picks both boys up and takes them home. This, unbeknownst to him, changes everything.
