Hmm two sources of gravity come to mind.
The gravitational acceleration of the earth on the system
undergoing fusion,
and the internal gravitational acceleration of parts of the system due
to the system's own mass. Is it the latter acceleration that you mean
does not conform to an inverse square law of gravity?

I have not mentioned accelerations at all, only *forces*, i.e. two
force laws. Clearly macro gravity effects from stars affect fusion
by increasing pressure and temperature, but this is indeed way
outside the scope of what I am talking about, which is just the
forces involved in the interaction of, and only between, two nuclei
plus electrons resulting in fusion or the prevention thereof.
