Very different aspect, but interesting to me at least. The odd index Fibonacci numbers are one branch in the Markov tree, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markov_number http://oeis.org/A002559 Taking notation from the book by Cusick and Flahive, we have the Markov (or Markoff) equation $$m^2 + m_1^2 + m_2^2 = 3 m m_1 m_2,$$ where it follows from the process that generates the tree that $$ \gcd(m, m_1) = \gcd (m_1, m_2) = \gcd(m_2,m) = 1.$$ Then C+H define $u$ on pages 10 and 18 as the smallest positive integer such that $ \pm m_1 u \equiv m_2 \pmod m.$ Then we define an integer $v$ by $mv = u^2 + 1.$ It follows from $mv = u^2 + 1$ that every Markov number is represented, and primitively, as the sum of two squares. At some point I had a proof (well, I think I did) that the Markov discriminants $$ 9 m^2 - 4 $$ were also the sum of two squares, although sometimes not primitively because these are divisible by 4 when $m$ is even. I cannot recall the proof but it was short and elementary.
