TLDR
In this article, it was shown that the affirmative answer to Wall's question implies the first case of FLT (Fermat's last theorem) for exponents which are (odd) Fibonacci primes or Lucas primes.
Abstract
numbers. As applications we obtain a new formula for the Fibonacci quotient Fp−( 5 p )/p and a criterion for the relation p |F(p−1)/4 (if p ≡ 1 (mod 4)), where p 6= 5 is an odd prime. We also prove that the affirmative answer to Wall’s question implies the first case of FLT (Fermat’s last theorem); from this it follows that the first case of FLT holds for those exponents which are (odd) Fibonacci primes or Lucas primes.

History of the Theory of Numbers

Abstract: THE third and concluding volume of Prof. Dickson's great work deals first with the arithmetical. theory of binary quadratic forms. A long chapter on the class-number is contributed by Mr. G. H. Cresse. Next comes an account of existing knowledge on quadratic forms in three or more variables, followed by chapters on cubic forms, Hermitian and bilinear forms, and modular invariants and covariants.History of the Theory of Numbers.Prof. Leonard Eugene Dickson.

13 lectures on Fermat's last theorem

TL;DR: In this article, Kummer's Monumental Theorem was used to prove that Fermat's Last Theorem is true for every prime exponent less than 125,000, and the first case is True for infinitely many pairwise Relatively Prime Exponents.
