Emily Short's Interactive Storytelling 
A very interesting article.
You might want to look at Emily Care Boss’s brilliant two-player romance RPG “Breaking the Ice”. It’s not free, but 9 dollars for the PDF is money well-spent: http://www.blackgreengames.com/bti.html
In this game, there is adversity, but it doesn’t really come from conflicts between the characters (although they can and probably will hurt each other), but more from internal conflicts of the characters.
It’s been a while since I played it, so I can’t expound on it more fully; maybe I’ll have the time to reread (or replay) it and say something more on my blog.
