Heart of Ice by UnknownFlandre

For Ralzor124

Yuki-onna are sometimes regarded as spirits of those who froze to death, while other times, they are considered youkai. In some stories, they lure travelers to an icy grave, yet in other stories, they can be helpful to those in distress, and warn travelers when fierce blizzards are approaching. They also act as the Japanese equivalent of the Western succubus in some tales, seducing hapless men before freezing and devouring them.

Oh, believe me, it's *far* from flawless... but thank you!
I was debating as to whether I should have tagged this as 'mature', but the yuki-onna isn't really showing that much skin
And frozen dead guy isn't too gruesomely detailed.
