As long as you don't mind that the revision graph will not show any
indication of a merge, you can just commit A3 as is.

If you do want the graph to show a merge, you can do a fossil merge,
then replace the result with your A3 before commiting.

(As I mentioned, fossil merge does not automatically commit the result
of a merge. In your case, it would merge changes from B into your
working copy of A2, leaving the resulting files for you to
review/edit/replace, then you have to do the actual commit.)
